Rachel
Rachel is a writer and teacher specializing in brow-furrowing riddles to do with the ethics of LGBTQIA+ representation. Check the wrinkle between her eyebrows. When she’s not stressing herself out before a Google Doc, you may find her hanging out with her awesome wife Kari at the movie theater, playing fetch with their dogcat Ponyo, shooting zombies in The Walking Dead arcade game, or watching Claptrap dance in any/all of the Borderlands games. Here’s her Yat, because if we’re not going to participate in the late capitalist fever dream of self-identification one way, we might as well in another: https://y.at/💼🗞️⚖️🦂
Akiva
Akiva is a designer, artist, and writer who enjoys nothing more than making order out of chaos. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that she’s an Ivy League survivor like Rachel, which is mentioned here as more of a sympathy grab than a flex. (You know what we’re talking about.) When she’s not finding her voice again after escaping the pomo thought police, Akiva can be found wandering in art galleries, supporting her local theater, and curating the best lesbian feminist library in the Middle East. She’s also a huge baseball fan (Go Dodgers!).
Kari
Kari is studying psychoanalysis, which she is preparing to practice mainly as a resource for Latin@ immigrants to the United States. She wrote her thesis about new and emerging intimate relationship forms. She could practice now, but is a lifelong nerd who wishes to have as much knowledge under her belt as possible before she begins offering care to people, so she’s getting an advanced degree through Mexico City’s Dimensión Psicoanalítica. When Kari’s not analyzing herself, her wife Rachel, or you, she’s checking out showtimes at the local theater, watching hockey or soccer, making a list of her favorite art movies to recommend to future clients, or smooshing her baby cat-daughter Ponyo.
