About Me
About Me | I live, breathe, eat, and sleep books. I’m in an open relationship with the Strand and courting Bluestockings while waiting to hear back from Housing Works. My spirit animal is a LOLcat. Archivist for an NGO by day, Grad student (Library Science, concentration Children’s/YA Services, focus LGBTQ family/teen outreach) by night. If chasing feminist dreams is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. |
