CURRENT MISSION

Fighting antiziganism and working for queer and Rromani rights.

ABOUT ME

My name is Sami. I’m a genderqueer Rrom (Kalderas and Ursari) with white privilege living in South Florida. I mostly identify as a boi and my preferred pronouns are they. I study illustration (want to work in zoological illustration and make comix) and I'll be moving to DC in a few weeks for a museum internship.

PHILOSOPHY

It is what it is. Sober and trying to keep a positive mental attitude.

Interests

Sailing, climbing, trans*positive feminism, body hair, agriculture, caves, treehouses, pastoralism, postmodernism, cats, bike rides, exploration, linguistics, queer radicalism, Rromani studies, tattoos, falconry, transgressing the gender binary, queer theory, anthropology, Tom Waits, zoology, illustration, ornithology, occultism (specifically the aesthetic aspects--sigils, seals, etc.), stomping on ableism, fighting antiziganism, and trying to improve myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to teach about anything I know! I can help out with drawing/painting, building shelters, tying/splicing rope, mammal and bird anatomy, foraging, gardening, and cooking. I'm also more than happy to tell stories from Eastern Europe/Rromani folktales. c:
