heartsongs101 is an independent arts & media lab operating as a remote-first hybrid practice. We bring accessible somatics, independent cultural archives, grassroots civic data, and speculative storytelling together in one spacious, open-access space.
Open-access utilities for equity and independence: Boost Board (a daily spotlight utility for campaigns stuck at $0), a mutual aid directory, a universal phone-powered screen reader prototype, and an AgeTech 55+ benefits & transit navigation tool.
Publishing TheLNMag (thelnmag.com), an independent digital periodical dedicated to intergenerational lesbian cultural heritage and community memory.
The Spectrum Affirming ecosystem (spectrumaffirming.com): e-published somatic literature (Spectrum Affirming Yoga), downloadable sensory starter kits, and stim-affirming movement frameworks for neurodivergent and chronically ill bodies.
Original speculative world-building anchored by My Beautiful Device, serialized ambient audio capsules, musical scores, and creative research exploring mutual aid, wildlife empathy, and animal co-regulation.
Unifying standalone tools and publications into one high-contrast, sensory-calm home that meets WCAG standards for low-vision and sensory-sensitive readers.
Formatting downloadable sensory kits, accessible e-book formats, and open metadata preservation tools for independent artists (Curate Indie).
Preparing remote-first hybrid infrastructure for free somatic cohorts, peer critique circles, and community learning for homebound and caregiving creators.
heartsongs101 is directed by author, technologist, and somatic practitioner J. Monique, supported by volunteer reviewers, contributors, and community advisors.
We are currently in a foundational planning and development phase. Once our core digital tools and curricula are finalized, we will open access to subsidized community cohorts, open-source resources, and community learning spaces.
