Keep Tarin Towers Local

Pleased to meet you, Internet. I’m a poet, a writer, a singer, and a visual artist. I play drums and sing, sometimes at the same time. I’m a witch. I’m an activist and I know the San Francisco Rent Ordinance like I know my library card number. I like cheese and I’m good at eyeshadow. 

Follow me on Twitter @tarintowers and, for 99 percent different content, subscribe to my Facebook updates. (Please don’t send a friend request unless you send a note; I pretty much only friend people i actually know. Thanks!)

I do a lot of my writing on TinyLetter, in a newsletter called “Displacement Blues.” Sign up, or read the archive.

Here’s my most popular Medium post: Of Homelessness and Luxury. 

One of my current projects is Tarot of the Emoji (twitter | tumblr), which is what it sounds like: a deck of tarot cards using emoji to express the archetypes, designed using the Magic Vibes app.

Most of what I post to this tumblr relates to my writing. The thing I update the most frequently is my TinyLetter.
