In new news: I'm looking for work!

I'm officially on the job market.

I'm looking for full-time work, but I'm available for lots of different options. If you look at this site, you've seen some of the things I can do, creatively and craft-wise. In my professional life, I've been a graphic designer and production artist for, oh, let's just call it many years. But my skills really encompass a variety of creative areas, including writing and voice recording.

So if you've liked anything you've seen, read, or heard here and you think I might be able to contribute to your company or project, please email me and we can talk details. (And yes, I will relocate.) shefightslikeagirl at gmail

I was interviewed for the Project Archivist podcast...

Project Archivist Episode 93:

Sleep Paralysis, Wide Awake and Dreaming

featuring DC-in-Detroit

Hey people! Here's something from my non-crafty life.

I recently had the pleasure of a long talk with Roejen and Lobo, the minds behind the Project Archivist podcast, along with frequent guest/contributor/smart guy Tyler Kokjohn.

I've been a long-time PA listener; the show covers esoterica, spooky things, and general weirdnesses, with an air of open-minded curiosity. Turns out, Roejen is a local, so we've run into each other once or twice. A recent conversation we had over a couple pints of mead turned to the topic of dreams and sleep states, and we both agreed it would be a good topic for the show. Sleep paralysis and other sorts of sleep disturbances provide a crossover between "skeptics" and "believers" in a way that I don't often hear discussed.

So we discussed it.

The show is about an hour and a half long, and it was a good, spritely conversation. At least I think so.

Listen here.

Greetings Archivists!

We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams...

In this episode Show listener Dorion joins us to talk about the strange world of sleep disorders. We take a look at Narcolepsy, Sleep Paralysis, Cognitive dreaming, Lucid dreaming, Night terrors and Hypnagogia. All of which she experiences or suffers from!

We also take a look at how these conditions of consciousness could be perceived as paranormal experiences and describe what it feels like to have one. Later at the end of the interview, a few listeners call in with their own experiences. Yes, that other voice in the back ground is Tyler who joins us as a guest host just to add a bit more coolness and logic to the topic.

Zombie Kitty wants BRAAAIIIINS!!...and catnip.

Hey, have you seen the zombie kitty catnip toys I made that I'm selling on my Brocade Lion etsy store? They're gruesomely adorable, and I have it on good authority that they are irresistible.

Some testimonials:
"I owe you $14. I was going to put your cat toys in the shop today, and our asshole cat went and stole one of them." —Friend with a boutique shop, whom I cannot name because she called her cat an asshole.

"All hopped up on your catnip meth, my cat went and killed a bird today. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY." —Friend I also cannot name to protect the guilty.

I have a handful of different colors up in the shop right now, and will be making more all the time. Custom orders are always entertained, so if you have favorite color combinations, let me know, and it's no extra cost.

There are also embroidered vintage ties, and some big bright polka-dotty convertible necklace/bracelet combos.

Go check 'em out, and buy something!
