I'm grateful to have spaces to make art that's alternately silly, beautiful, sexy, and emotive. That's a special thing, and especially necessary right now.

And in the same show, I got to be my most sultry self - someone literally yelled, "You're so sexy!!" as I left the stage! 😂❤️

Thanks to everyone that came to Raks Inferno last night, and to my incredible cast and crew.

Last night I closed the show with a piece that captured my feelings about this moment in Chicago & federal agents terrorizing us and then moved into fierceness, strength, & fight.

We gave our audience whistles as they left, 3D printed for us by @bibliogrrl.bsky.social.

Chicago: Experience an intimate circus cabaret, produced by an immigrant, with an almost entirely BIPOC + LGBTQIA cast/crew that's performed all over the world.

Tonight: Joy is resistance. 🔥

So last night I actually remembered to ask the client how he found us.

Him: ChatGPT.

Me, internally: 😯🤯

Apparently it suggested fire & then suggested us specifically.

I have feelings about ChatGPT but I think this still equals winning? 😂😅
When Ammunition gives you that look. 🔥

Had a blast spinning fire for a party on the south side last night!

Thanks to everyone that joined us Saturday for @raksinferno.bsky.social's secret Halloween fire party! What a blast!

Also: WE RAISED $451 for @icirr.bsky.social!

They run the ICE rapid response network in Chicago & have been the key player in getting Know Your Rights info out to communities. 👊

I AM MAD WITH POWER! 🤣🔥

When the folks at your fire gig ask if you want to play with their flamethrower after your performance, you say YES. 😂

You haven't lived until you've seen the most badass, sparkly striptease followed by a yo-yo at a million miles an hour accurately flicking a POKER CHIP from behind a willing audience member's ear. 😂

Many thanks too to my incredible team both onstage and off. You all are the absolute best. ❤️

Fun @raksgeek.bsky.social gig this afternoon at Indian Trails Public Library!

We literally had audience members from ages ~5 to 90.

Backstage shenanigans!
One of my missions is to share joy & create communities that are safe, welcoming, & electric.

I want performers and crew to feel at home. And I want our audiences to be able to let go, to remember there is strength when we're in a room full of like-minded people.

There's hope in that. And power.
