On November 9, 2016, I took my one month old baby to the New Parents Group at my doula’s office. Parents and babies sat together and unpacked and grieved election results. Today, I will go to work as a school librarian and hold children in the light.

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.
