Imagination, not intelligence, made us human. - Sir Terry Pratchett

Find me on tumblr while it still exists.

What is this page?

Glad you asked! I created this website for two reasons:

1. to have a place where you can find me if Tumblr dies (more likely now that they fired even more staff)
2. to teach myself HTML

That's right. I'm finally learning some coding. Wish I had thought to do that in my teens, when learning new things was a lot easier, but here we are and I'm not going to give up so easily. At least HTML seems a lot easier than Python, which I tried and failed at, presumably because it was very mathsy and also because the page I used to learn it mostly used the examples "spam" and "eggs", which means I failed to understand how more abstract stuff might work. Also, I don't want a programme that does maths for me, I want a website.

Ideally, one day I'll figure out how to import my tumblr blog here, but I'm going to be honest: that probably won't happen.

Some things I like:

• books, especially queer ones
• the works of Sir Terry Pratchett
• Sherlock Holmes
• music
• food (but I'm a picky eater)
• fanfiction
• dogs
• good news and progress
