Theresa Marie Magario {Miville-Deschenes}
Openly depressed they / it.
Most currently:
Moody (all the moods). Mostly depressed.
- Dealing with the aftermath of cancer(s), an ongoing global pandemic, and, a fresh case of Bartonellosis (Thanks for that, Universe. Love you too).
Kind of navigating obliquely through a vague bardo. Not performing currently (because my body was made for bacterial infections not performance- obviously); writing- trying to produce enough good material for a chapbook; creating collages; crafting with popsicle sticks and cardboard, and bones; pixel trashing my own photographs, and editing little experimental films- now with shiny new equipment!
