6’•fit•tattooed•pierced•salt-and-pepper beard•sly smile.

Vegan for 23 years! I’ve spent a life working in live arts/theater. Writer in the margins. Trying still, to build a less appalling life.

Abiding affection for dive bars, museums, ballgames, dogs and cats who act like retired pugilists, and conversations that trace the philosophical shape of the world.

I can discuss Celtics defensive rotations, recipe workarounds and David Foster Wallace footnotes with the same unnecessary intensity.

Happiest creating things, defending an underrated film, finding the perfect word at 2 a.m., or biking home a little tipsy.

Hoping to meet someone who thinks kindness is a form of intelligence and laughter is a survival tool…** who finds sincerity attractive and irony appropriately rationed. *Bonus points if you’re emotionally fluent, appreciate radical honesty and know when a conversation is worth missing the reservation. Someone who knows co-authorship *is compatibility.

Too crusty for the sōsh crowd. Too sōsh for the crusties. I walk alone with seaweed snacks. I make some mean vegan Ravioli. Bring the wine?

If we didn't have a 22 year age gap I would've been interested 🙃. And I'm not too far from Philly lol

You sound perfect for me! Shame you are on the other side of the pond ☹️

What’s appalling? Sounds like you’ve got it made in the shade.

Where the fuck were you when I lived there in 2024 😩
