Hi, I’m Christine.

I’ve been self-publishing my writing for 20 years, and I can’t imagine a life without blogs and newsletters and diy zines. A month before the pandemic hit, though, I quietly archived all of my online writing. I needed a reset.

My online journals of yesteryear are safe, but thankfully private, and now I’m sending newsletters (or are they blog posts) a few times a month under the same name as I have been since 2007, unspeakable visions. If you’re wondering about the origin of the phrase, wonder no more, for the full story is here. Also, I just realized that with a newsletter format I’ll never truly be able to wipe these from the internet if I want, because they could be saved in all of your inboxes. Panic!

These days, I’m exploring better possibilities for the internet, human connection, neighborhoods and other things that capture my attention. Expect a dose of nostalgia for the early online days and curiosity for how the world wide web might live up to its potential. Plus thoughts on books, small cities, riding bikes and overthinking everything.

I live with my family in a 1930s home in Albany, New York.

I’m also the executive director of a local affordable housing justice organization working to build a community where everyone has a decent place to live. You can find my professional bio here, on the most bizarre and terrible of all social media sites.

Get in touch by email, if you’d like.
