Welcome Family and Friends
So, we finally decided to do the thing. We went to the courthouse earlier in May because, you know, the times we're in, but we wanted to do a little something more than just that. So Kristen entered us into a contest to win a wedding ceremony and reception during this popular Black queer love story "We Are Gathered" by Tarrell Alvin McCraney, of Moonlight and David Makes Man fame. We won and we will be getting married at the tail end of the June 15 matinee closing performance. AND we'd love to celebrate with all of our friends and family at some point, later in the year, if you can't make it to DC. And yes, we'd like to raise some funds to get us to our next step, our own home that can be a nest to feed and fill us despite all the chaos of the world. If you believe love is love, we would love to have you join and/or support us in our journey!

Gift Any Amount
Contribute to our Journey!
While we have a lot of what we need, we have had a rough few months dealing with illnesses and DOGE and other layoffs. So, in lieu of a regular registry, we are doing a cash one. However, we did include some of the items that we we do wish for below.

Moving to our next home!
We love our apartment at the Wharf, but it's time for a new home journey and the sooner we can raise at least 15k, we will be able to launch!

Help Kristen launch her new Kristpattern fiber teaching space
I would love a permanent studio space that I can use as a teaching and gathering and styling studio for fellow queer, disabled, fat, and other marginalized folks.

Gynoqueer is my advocacy group for those who are LGBTQIA+ navigating gynecological and other traditionally feminine/feminized illnesses. I would like to create a doctor visit buddy system.
