Looking at my Scholarly Pipeline (Notion template I made, pay what you want) for the first time in a while & I’ve got an idea for a piece of scholarship that all I noted down was “JME Geekery.” Anybody else have any idea what I might have meant?

Hi there! I'm Kimberly Hirsh. My pronouns are she/ her/hers. I'm somebody's mom. I work as a school librarian. I have a PhD in information and library science. I love to read, play tabletop and video games, and make things. I used to perform in theater and improv comedy and I may one day again. I have been extremely online since 1993 and still enjoy tinkering on the web. I manage multiple chronic illnesses. I'm married to my kid's dad. We have a cat.
