@rob@social.coop

Owner of qualifications which don't define me and aspirations for how I live my life which do. It's all about the cake. Everything else is just staying alive.

Likely to be obsessing over mountaineering, beer, endurance motor racing, border collies, cheese, cycling, cricket, all that important stuff that we need to be doing like revolutionising politics, dealing with climate disaster, and addressing social inequality. And cake.

#Teacher, #librarian, #writer, #reader. #Neurodivergent. Former NY State Senate candidate. Advanced degrees in #literature, #education, and #library & information science, but none of them are doctorates so it doesn't count. I teach students to understand and make strong arguments because it's the best I can do now for #democracy and the #climate. I love #journalists, #historians, #scientists, and other truth-seekers. Oh, and I've written two novels and raised two children. She/her
