This is part 1 of a 2 part series on being sexually assaulted in 2022 at the first Vibecamp, and how that experience impacted me. Content warnings for depictions of sexual assault and PTSD.

I Was Stalked At A Vancouver Rave

I went to the Vancouver edition of the Boiler Room event series on Friday, and was having a good time until transphobia reared its head in the ugliest of ways.What HappenedIt started when about halfway through the event I was leaving the bathroom, when a group of 2 girls said ‘THIS IS FOR GIRLS ONLY’. I found it ironic, given there was a large paper sign posted at the entrance stating the bathroom was trans friendly. It was the first time I’ve ever been accosted in a bathroom, so it shook me ...

The Sun Came Out

Working on another piece on one of the women inside me, but in service of trying to publish something once a week here’s a quick little reflection on what it’s like to feel normal for the first time in roughly 20 years.It’s hard to say when I knew I was different. Not in the transgender way, but in the ‘I don’t act like other people’ way. My sleep patterns have been scattered since my early 20’s, and I always seemed to have that time of year when I could lock-in for 8-10 hours a day. Then it ...

Introducing Basscaster, by FarcastHER

On October 16th at 11 AM PST, Basscaster (by FarcastHER) will debut in /farcasther as a mini app with an interview and co-working session with the prolific @ChicBangs.Why Basscaster?Dan Romero has said there's not enough interesting content on Farcaster. The majority of farcaster content is text-based. Creators need reasons to post, and short-form video which has basic UX isn't enough. Farcaster also loses value when community energy goes elsewhere. Tavern.fm has become a popular hangout beca...

SheFi Season 11 - Crypto's Finishing School

SheFi Season 11 ended last month. At its midpoint I considered it as a full-on makeup lesson vs the fragmented TikTok video education path, but now I think it’s more of crypto’s finishing school. Maggie Love is a force of nature, and the content is incredibly well designed for its target audience. There have been plenty of pop culture anchors to complex topics like staking and DAO governance. The most important aspect of SheFi for me has been that it’s doable at your own pace. You can attend ...

Click

I’ve flirted with Internal Family Systems but I think ultimately there are a few women inside me that have emerged during transition. I’m going to write a few not-quite-fiction short posts on the traits I associate with each one of them.click click. Her stilettos gave a distinct sound as she glided through the entrance of the bar-shaped establishment this thought experiment takes place in. Once, those shoes had terrified her. They seemed angry; severe. Now they were extensions of her fierce h...

Closets

Inching my piece of writing about being sexually assaulted at Vibecamp over the finish line, but I want to publish something I’ve been thinking about for a while.I was in the closet, pretending to be a male for most of my life. March of 2025 will mark my 5 year anniversary of coming out. I did so publicly, owing to my position at the time as a very public figure in the cannabis industry. After I posted my blog on Twitter, when you could still do such a thing, I was relieved. I felt really fre...

Fear

Almost done with a post on Vibecamp(s), out to some reviewers this week! Resolving to get something out weekly, even if they are short musings. This one is about things I’m afraid of. People have called me things like brave, fearless; spiritually, maybe that’s true. Objectively— there are a lot of things I’m terrified of. Bla bla naming things gives you power over them bla bla, so:I’m afraid that the incredible things many have said they see in me were never there, or if they were, have withe...
