I read a lot of non-fiction for my research. If you're into that sort of thing, my research uses folks like R.W. Connell, J. Halberstam, Michel Foucault. My work is on masculinity, fascism, and contemporary U.S. politics.

If you recommend to me a book, I will read it once my dissertation is finished :P For pleasure right now, I read things I can consume in microdoses. I spend a lot of time on r/nosleep

Scrapbooking, crocheting, re-purposing of all varieties, painting (badly), takin' pictures of things (as distinct from photography) and generally lots of things which I regret not making more time for.

I am a nascent muckraker, genteel lady of morals Victorian, extender of lovingkindness. I love growing things and playing in the dirt. I want endless summers.

I'm a PhD student in the anthropology of religion, and also mother to a charming toddler.

I'm super leftist, so make of that what you will.

I'm also an atheist who studies religion.

And I get severe swap anxiety, so if you're my partner, and you have performance anxiety about your swap, just know we're in this together.
