About Me

About Me

I’m interested in feminist thought, media analysis, and spending the rest of my life making people laugh, think, or ideally, both at the same time.

If you don’t think that I’m a pretentious asshole by the time you’re done reading my profile, thanks! I appreciate it. Also, we should hang out.
