Well, I’m on Mastodon! I’m not big on social media, so I probably won’t post here often, but I’ll give a little info about myself.

I live in #London, where I study Anthropology at #LSE. I graduated last year from #AmherstCollege in #Massachusetts, and I grew up in #Minneapolis.

I’m a progressive activist with a particular focus on climate. Besides that, I enjoy blockprinting, theater, soccer, and programming.

I’m moving here from another Mastodon server that’s closing down, so I thought I’d introduce myself! I’m not big on social media, so I probably won’t post here often.

Ok, I should be working on a tenure review today, but instead am going down internet rabbit-holes. The latest involves a collection of #scrapbooks kept by the students of #AmherstCollege in the late #19c, a young man named William Belcher Whitney included. Here is an esp strange & imho creepy page, on which he's arranged into a heart shape the hairpins he's collected from his acquaintance at #MtHolyoke. There's a great discussion of this book on the Amherst Special Collections blog, ca 2012.
