              Hi, I’m CT
(they/them)
I’m logging my fifth year working on a non-fiction manuscript, currently titled FLOOD SEASONS, a kaleidoscopic view into the lifelong mind-fuckery that is stepping outside of the box of cognitive dissonance to live authentically. Current version is available to interested agents while I continue crafting the thought sculpture in words.
This page is a space for me to tell you about the tools that got me here: really cool books that are either queer or contribute to collective liberation, or BOTH/AND!
