Literary and media historian. Not my employer’s account. She/they/punk rock tomboy. Settler on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh land. Setter of types, maker of typos. A person whose first object in life is a joke. Avatar: window display in now-defunct local wig shop offering “real/syntactic [sic]” long platinum blond wigs.

Red Sox at Astros. We can’t watch the game on the tv because Sky barks frantically (and very loudly) at the catcher during every at bat. #dogsofmastodon #RedSox #baseball

I hesitate to share corporate links on here, but I haven’t seen this reported, and it’s just too effing outrageous not to post. State Senator Joseph E Martin of Maine has apparently sent conservative politicians in Canada’s 4 western provinces what purports to be a letter of invitation to become states and reads like a superior’s chastisement of a wayward servant, or serf. White Americans, for the love of God come get your people. #elbowsup #canpoli #uspoli. https://www.facebook.com/61563888661962/posts/pfbid0RwfQM6kZpMgbQesKg8QDcPeXNznYB15ixu8qhSsdNGY6Eyp8m8FKT6BrF4xrZnqbl/?app=fbl

new account, new intro: Hello! I’m a settler scholar on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh lands (so-called UBC Vancouver and Strathcona.) I write about forms and figuration, and their broad contexts in betweenness and amongstness, in the C19 Atlantic and inland waterways. I’ve just started a project on settler uses of early C19 poetics in placemaking practices (park, house, school.) I print stuff, run, and bird. I post about book[art]s, history, pedagogy, and my dog. #litstudies #histodons
