|| from bay area, CA but johannesburg, s. africa is my second home || a refugee of paul beatty’s “designated neighborhood safe houses on the ghetto geeks’ underground railroad.” i am 24 and i love high top chuck taylors, bookstores, photography and orphaned technologies. i like to learn & take great pride in my nerdiness. i take photos, bake vegan oatmeal, raisin&almond butter cookies on sunday nights, gossip about books&politics, and teach the young folks. i hold three ‘jobs’: high school teacher, writer, city planning commissioner. ::blogTumblr (3.0;
