It occurs to me that I am always curious about the basic stats of people when I go look them up on wikipedia, so I’ll provide them for myself here:

I am 5’ 10" (178cm) and 169 lb (76.66kg). I was born in 1995 in Anchorage Alaska, so I’m 30. I have a little sister, and parents, and a cat. My pronouns are he/him or they/them. My hair simply turned curly one day. I am an atheist. My dad, an engineer, was raised christian scientist and my mom, an artist, was raised seventh day adventist, both parents disliked being in cults, so I was raised without religion particularly.

I was not Homeschooled from a state program or a private “School-in-a-box” system, but Unschooled by my mom, a thing which here means I looked a lot of stuff up in whatever materials we had and she drove me to the bookstore. She values accuracy in information, humility, and curiosity, which I have carried with me I hope. My dad believes that if you cannot explain a masters-level engineering problem to a kid with a diagram on a napkin you don’t really understand the issue at hand. I have tried to carry this commitment to communication with me too. My academic life got much easier when wikipedia was invented, and even easier still when the iPhone meant I could start to look stuff up on the fly. I got my BA in Film Studies from The Evergreen State College in 2017, with one year of that being spent abroad in Florence Italy studying renaissance art.

You probably know me from tiktok, although I don’t go there anymore.

If you’ve liked my work in the past but don’t have a job to hire me for, I have a patreon and various wish lists. Thanks!
