I am now also awakened

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I am, however, awakened by an entirely different subject also symbolized by “XXX”. Carly is more responsible than me — this is a straightedge tattoo, not a porno tattoo, done by Pon at Tattoo Seen in the Bronx (she’s a big fan of pink, and not a big fan of booze).

Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
by Jonathon
May 28, 2025
One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

by Jonathon
May 25, 2025
There’s a particular kind of magic that happens at your first big suspension gathering when you arrive with nerves, an open heart, and the quiet hope of flight. Guided by the encouragement of mentor Lynn Loheide and driven by the quiet confidence of belonging, Alex… Read more: Twelve Points to the Sky
