A collaboration between Jami & Colin Mays

I’m an elder-millennial, AuDHD (undiganosed with autism because I’m too old and settled to justify the cost of a diagnosis and late-diagnosed with ADHD because as a woman, I managed to mask my way through the first four decades of my life), perimenopausal generalist. I’ve been married to my best friend since 2013 and we have two boys (well, one man-child and one still-a-boy). I’m underpaid, underutilized and underemployed by the largest employer in Athens, Georgia.

Previously, I’ve been a Montessori teacher, workers center services coordinator, a freelance web designer/developer, community organizer, a barista, a preschool teacher, a print shop clerk, a communications director for a nonprofit, and a labor organizer.

I value transparency, vulnerability, and collaboration. I consider myself an abolitionist, leftist, matriarchist agnostic.

Hi. I’m a husband, father, chef, metalhead, artist, and leftist. My hope for this site is to share my talent with whomever is willing to accept it, whether that be some protest art, a quiche or soup drop, a few dozen ‘fuck ice’ patches, or a maybe a few poems about finding balance in this crashing capitalist crapconomy.

I’ve called Athens, Ga. home for over 20 years. I’ve worked and managed in a few restaurants in that time, mainly as a chef. At the end of 2024, it became clear that I needed to step away from the restaurant industry for my longterm health. Since then, I’ve continued to work in food, just in a more low-stress environment. I’ve started drawing and writing again, trying to focus on other aspects of my creativity. These days that seems to lean towards protest art in the way of shirts, patches, hats, poems, etc., and working towards crafting the almost perfect quiche.

I spend a little time on some of the socials…I find venting there has been a fun experience. I will also be sharing links there for all my art and food drops. More info to come as we move forward!

I’ll see you around \,,/
