greetings!




My name is Maggie and I'm 20 and genderqueer. I'm an undergraduate linguistics student living in Pittsburgh. I'm not gonna outright give out my full name and address and school email or whatever, but I'm not gonna make an active effort to hide my irl identity. If you know who I am irl, feel free to talk to me, I guess? It's weird that you found this.

Most of this site seems to be devoted to fandom, which isn't something that I engage with. I do like fiction, I just don't feel a need to engage with it in the ways that fandom seems to like to.

Things I'm really into include:



lingustics

anthropology

neat little mid-2000s nostalgic anachronisms

anarchism

all sorts of music (but mostly folk, punk, emo, and indie)

jewish history

yiddish sociolinguistics

my partner

various pieces of media (steven universe, star trek, the 2005 transformers idw comics, homestuck)


i like pretending its an era i was barely around to remember. the year is 2004 and i am in the basement of the university library at 2 in the morning. there is no one else there except for a janitor and the librarian, none of us are paying attention to each other. im sitting at a table against the wall, there are three books in front of me and im taking notes as fast as i can. my headphones are over my ears, my walkman is playing the new thermals album. i cant sleep. youre there too, and i dont notice you at first, but we both look queer enough that we can both tell when i turn my head and we lock eyes for a brief moment. maybe next time ill have the courage to ask your name or your email.



I will probably not use this site often. Feel free to message me if you ever have anything you want to talk to me about, chances are I might respond.

I haven't been keeping my blog super up to date, partially because of lack of motivation and partially because I was pretty busy in the days leading up to the end of the semester. I submitted my last big long paper for anthling and was incredibly relieved that I didn't have to work on it anymore, although it was a delight to write. Since then, I spent a couple days at a cabin that my friends and I pooled money together to rent, which was an incredibly lovely time.

I've been feeling less productive since then, though. I signed up for classes the other day, significantly later than I actually should have. It's good that I got it done, though, and I have a pretty alright schedule. For the most part, most days have felt the same since then. Every day since the beginning of this quarantine has felt shorter and shorter, and now that I don't really have much of anything to do, I just feel tired and unmotivated. Hopefully I can have more things to put me in a better headspace, and I can feel productive that way.

It's the last week of the semester and I only have a couple more finals and a couple more projects due. It's been giving me a lot of time to panic over the fact that I've never cooked a turkey before instead of over school. It also gives me time to remember the various social media platforms that I exist on and never use. This is one of them.

Much like Tumblr and my old LiveJournal, I don't really know how to use Dreamwidth. I mean, I know how to use it, I've just gotten so used to Twitter that the thought of writing big long blog entries about things is daunting and not exactly how I feel like communicating. Shrug.

I've been trying to work on playlists lately, specifically one that captures the vibe of the music that I've been really into lately, which is just weird queer folks with acoustic instruments singing about how much they love their friends, in the vein of Nana Grizol or Defiance, Ohio. Really, it's just making me realize how much I like those bands already.
