PhD + theorizing empire, narrative, science fiction, and Star Trek + I also crochet, bake, and spend time in the forest with my kids +
I'm mostly here for cat pictures + she/her
I never know what to say on social media apps, so I normally don't end up saying much at all. Maybe they will change here, maybe not. But in the meantime, have a kitten picture amidst the reposts. I made the blanket!

In the non-professional arena, I am a mom of two young kids (plus two cats and two guinea pigs), and live in a rural area. I cook and bake from scratch as much as possible. I crochet and listen to audiobooks (mostly fantasy and SF). I made these Pokeballs for my youngest for his Halloween costume.

We're all just here for the #cat pictures, right!?!

When I'm not mom-ing, cooking, cleaning, crocheting, and all the rest, I think critically about science fiction, visions of the future, TV narratives, imperialism, & Star Trek. Here's a snapshot of some scholarship I engaged with in a recent chapter on imperialism in contemporary narratives.

Okay, I'm trying this out! I'll write up a real introduction later, but for now, the most important thing: here is a picture of my new #kitten terrorizing a Lego village.
