New account/instance, new #introduction

I'm Lindy (they/them), a #nature lover currently living in the mid-Atlantic region of the US. I hike frequently and love sharing photographs of the wondrous things I see when outdoors. #Hiking made me fall in love with being alive, and I’d love to pass that feeling onto others! #Fungi are my jam.

I’m a #Library worker and aspiring Archivist starting my #MLIS (Library Master’s) in the fall. I’ve worked in public libraries, academic libraries, and special collections and archives. I feel super passionate about lifelong learning and peoples’ access to information. I will probably gush about Libraries from time to time here.

I’m also an artist. I love taking materials and making a finished piece from them. I try to use reclaimed or recycled materials in my art as much as possible. In the past few years, I’ve gotten really into making #chainmail art. It’s the first time I’ve ever really stuck to a medium long-term, and I’m enjoying seeing my skills grow project by project.

Pics are of me on the beach in Hawaii last September and of my beloved cat, Doodle Noodle. She’s my darling-est dear and my best friend!
