It’s good to have a statement that sums up what you do, writ large, that isn’t just a job title. And thanks to influences including Star Trek: Picard, Judaism, and multipassionate entrepreneurs, I’ve got one:

I leverage passion and learning to repair the world.

Reading the schedule for GIFCon and my breath caught and I teared up a little at Kat Humphries’s paper title, β€œWhat’s this cheery singing all about?”: Fantasy television and the musical episode.

Why I like St. Patrick's Day ☘️

I originally posted this on Facebook on March 17, 2016.

I’m only 9% Irish, but I sure love Saint Patrick’s Day. I think most of my affection for it comes from St. Patrick’s Day 1991, when my sister, our mom, and I arrived at our Tallahassee church for the last round of the church’s progressive dinner, and my dad, who had been living in Durham for more than a year, surprised us by showing up. Will and I have a picture from that Saint Patrick’s Day hanging on the wall of our parlor.

I added a Shop page to my website! Right now all that’s there are my Notion templates (all pay what you can, $0+). In the future I hope to add a Books I Recommend section with affiliate links to Bookshop.org and a Books I’ve Written section. Affiliates get 50% commission.

I’m thinking about adding an Ask Me Anything’s page to my blog. But I also might just sometimes make a post soliciting questions. What questions do you have? They don’t need to be specific to me or my expertise.
