Oh hey, I should probably share that my husband Will is a 2022-2023 Fulbright Scholar. Very proud of him & super psyched to take this opportunity both to see & do cool stuff & meet scholars in my own areas of interest.

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.

“Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep.”
Now I’m only halfway through the Strange New Worlds pilot but the Kilean makeup looks to me nearly identical to vampires on BtVS. 🖖🏻📺
I just took the IPIP Big Five Factor Marker test. According to the results, I’m intellectual/imaginative af, pretty outgoing, friendly, and optimistic. I am also very neurotic and kind of a mess.
Anybody else assume based on TNG that Picard & Guinan had a friends with benefits situation? 🖖🏻
I have a vague sense that I am Not Okay. I don’t know if it’s a medical thing, stress from my mom’s illness, or the world. I can’t clearly identify the source of it, which makes it hard to know the first step to take to fix it. Might just wallow for a few days.
