Bienvenido/a chez moi!
I am a full-time student, sometime archivist, political activist, educator, writer, and struggling human. My favorite activities are reading, watching the Simpsons, spending time with my friends, family, and cat, hiking in the mountains, writing, and doing art. (I have some of my stuff up under my pictures.) I have been very busy in "real life" lately, but I still blog here whenever I get a chance.
Leave me a message or hit me up .
