“tol, kind, smart, but will throw down if very provoked” — @saint_heretical

Hello! I'm a former #academic who still considers himself a #historian. While I've left #academia behind, I still work as a #writer, mostly of essays and history pieces. Some of my pieces can be found in Jacobin, Teen Vogue, Smithsonian, and Belt. My PhD is in #history, and I studied the anti-apartheid movement in the United States. 
Today, I write about a variety of topics. When I can, I listen to #music and play #games.

Published poet, writer, parent, works in the humanitarian field. I write mostly #haiku & #SmallPoems, but working up to longer & varied forms of #poetry. 
Nature, environment, climate & social justice, human rights in general, LGBTQIA+ & women's reproductive rights, disability rights, AI & tech ethics and rights, mental health, music (esp. jazz), art, film, theatre.

Bot account posting selections from Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue”

CW: 18th-century levels of racism, homophobia, sexism, slut-shaming and negative attitudes to sex workers.

But on the other hand, someone non-judgmentally recorded the speech and codes of people on the outside of polite society, people in the demi-monde and otherwise forgotten by history.

Let me know of any problems.
