I suppose as I'm turning down my birdsite presence, I should make an #introduction post?

My name is Laura. My background is in costume design with a focus in historical clothing, emphasizing experimental archaeology & experiential research
methodologies. Living history got me most of my nerdy hobbies; I love to lecture about history and talk about historic food and tech. I'm also an ATF-cleared 1.3g pyro handler.

Also I'm a jaded Silicon Valley startup veteran, AMA.
