tips

One of my biggest goals right now is eliminating my staggering student debt. You can always send tips via CashApp or Bitcoin (please inquire for that address).

gifts

For those whose love language is gifting, my material wishlist can be found here. You can also use this list as guideline, and ask me for direct links if you prefer to show up with a gift in hand.

Below are a few other wishes that are better received as gift cards or tips.

  • Sponsor more tattoos (top priority!)

  • Spa day (200-500)

  • portra 400/800 (or your favorite unique film!)

  • travel (giftcards to Delta, Hotels.com, Uber, Lyft)

  • your contender for the city’s best chocolate chip cookie (see my ongoing thread for reference)

  • gift card for (or perhaps a shopping date?) Fiat Lux

  • shopping date at The Perish Trust

vinyl

Music is a great source of connection and intimacy for me, and a record makes a beautiful gift. Here are a few I’d love to have:

  1. Chelsea Wolfe, Unknown Rooms

  2. Kedr Livanskiy, Your Need

  3. Lucinda Williams, World Without Tears

  4. Sharon von Etten, epic Ten

  5. any Mulatu Astatke you can get your hands on

  6. Sarah Vaughan, Brazilian Romance

books

As an avid reader (with little time for it, but nonetheless…), I have an ever growing “to read’ list that I update with regularity. When facing creative blocks, a book is always an appreciated gift (and the perfect thing to slip my rate into when we’re meeting in public; supporting indie bookstores like City Lights is always appreciated). Here it it is (non exhaustive):

  • show yourself to me — Xan West*

  • death valley — Melissa Broder*

  • all fours — Miranda July*

  • it lasts forever and then it’s over — Anne de Marcken

  • girls against god — Jenny Hval
