About

portrait

I'm a feminist, anti-racist, down-with-The-Man/up-with-The-People super-lefty. My default modes: outraged, nerding out, withering scorn, drily amused.

I credit image sources with a click-through link whenever possible. If you need me to remove something, please drop a note in my ask.

Check out my other blog for twee, schmancy stuff.
