About

MC is standing and smiling on a leafy path. MC is a white man with glasses, facial piercings, and many tattoos.

If we were to sit across from one another, I’d probably say, Hey, it’s great to meet you. I’m MC. At some point, I’d cuss (no “probably” about it) and something would cause me to let out a big whoop of a laugh.

By training and profession, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (“LCSW”). I am also a white (frequently gender non-conforming) gay man, and I have thankfully retained much of my practical former-lesbian sensibilities. I practice and live in Philadelphia. I run a gamut of interests from the sacred to the profane: reading and thinking about Francophone critical theory and Euripides; crunching numbers for spreadsheet-inducing JRPGs; researching US cults and the Satanic Panic; enjoying vlogs about Borzois with incredible amounts of personality; and caring for my three thumbless roommates:
