Hi, I’m maymay. I’m the information age’s equivalent of a wandering minstrel; I travel wherever I’m needed and wanted, offering my skills as an activist, a scholar, and a public speaker to the world for free. Instead of owning a home, I live on the road. I’m grateful to everyone who shares food, shelter, or money with me so that I can continue to do Good Work with Good People for the benefit of our future.
You can support me, my Work, and join the adventure! Please contribute as much as you are able, and no more than that. Respect your own limits!

Where I am right now
Chances are I’ll need a couch to crash on soon. May I stay with you? If so, please get in touch with me via email, Facebook, CouchSurfing.org, Twitter, FetLife, or calling (323) 963-4827. The best way to reach me while I’m on the road is by sending me an SMS/text message.

KinkForAll Denver is being planned for February 25th, 2012. An amazingly talented core set of unorganizers have laid the groundwork and I'm going to support them however I can. Check out Sensuality: Within and Beyond Sexuality for an example of the sorts of fun topics KinkForAll welcomes you to talk about, and take a look at what to expect at a KinkForAll unconference to learn more. This is a free event open to the public! Join us. :)

I'll be a keynote speaker as well as being among the presenters at Atlanta Poly Weekend 2012, and I'll be in some amazing company. Even more amazing if you register and come, too! Last year, I headlined the conference with a talk about the intersections of polyamory and anti-censorship best practices for sex-positive publishers. This year's sure to be just as good, if not better. :)

I'm hoping to participate in MOMENTUMCon this year, but I need a plane ticket or other public transit from Atlanta, GA, to Washington, DC. Can you help get me to Washington? If you're driving along this route and can spare a seat, please get in touch to let me know! You can also buy or transfer to me some JetBlue airlines TrueBlue points to help me get from here to there. Thanks!

I'm registered for Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) Conference Number 9, and I've submitted a proposal for a brand-new session called The Technology of Consent: What the Internet can teach us about negotiation. HOPE is an incredibly popular and relatively high-profile conference for the hacker community, and they receive more proposals than they know what to do with. If you'd like to help convince them to accept my proposal, consider sending @HopeNumber9 a tweet to that effect! Thanks so much!
Food (and other necessities)
Cash is nice, but what I really need it for is food, drink, and other necessities. As a writer, coffee is particularly useful! ;)
Ways to keep me fed from the comfort of your home, in your underwear!
- Add money to my Peet’s Coffee & Tea Card (card number 11001003064490, pin number 7088).
- If you have a Starbuck’s Card, you can transfer money to my Starbuck’s Coffee Card (card number 6066595457437033, security code 31847000).
- Buy me a new Subway gift card. (For now, ship it to my old address where I can still pick up mail.) If you have a (cash) Subway Card you’re not using, you can also transfer funds from your card to mine. (Use my existing Subway Card number: 6277 2032 7815 8442.)
Other gifts
- Got airline miles you’re not using? Transfer ‘em to me (or straight up buy me some) so I can get from point here to point there:
- Transfer your JetBlue TrueBlue Points to me. (Use my TrueBlue Number, 2025783234, and my legal name.)
- Transfer your Delta SkyMiles to me. (Use my SkyMiles Number: 9201818086.)
- You can also gift me Marriott Hotel Rewards Points. (Use my Marriott Rewards Number, 862452174, and my legal name.)
- Free hugs are great, too. :)
Thank you so much!
