你好嗎 / nei5 hou2 maa3 / hiiiiii
i'm ori, a furry kinkster werewolf who practices robust pandemic precautions, studies herbalism, & composes dreams.
i'm a hybrid creator who loves playing with the page & different mediums to invigorate bodymindspirits. i am particularly interested in the queering of negative affects (such as rage, grief, fear, anxiety, & more) and how vital they are to our imaginations, dreamscapings, & futures.
currently, i am studying astrology, food theory & cooking, herbal medicine-making, cyber- & operational-security practices, & hypnokink.
i'm super excited to experience y'all's work!
