#introduction
I didn't engage in social media for a long time because I was an English #teacher, which meant I saw firsthand how toxic social media was for many kids (and I didn't want students snooping on me). Now I'm in my early forties and work as #union representative.
I'm disoriented by and fearful of social media, but I stumbled upon Mastodon a few weeks ago, and I've loved it so far. I'm here to learn. I'm looking for people who have a niche love of #postmodern literary and political theory and read #postmodernist authors like #PercivalEverett, #FredricJameson, #Lyotard, etc. Though I'm not very productive, I like to consider myself an #indiereseacher (a term I recently learned here!) who reads lit crit research for fun and listens to lit crit podcasts like #horrorvanguard.
I attend a #UnitarianUniversalist church. I live in Eastern #massachusetts. I try to live with #radicalrespect for myself and others.
