Greetings, I'm Midnight

Welcome, friend! I'm the caretaker of this derelict ruin you have stumbled into. Apologies if I frightened you. I don't normally look this bedraggled but, well, what with the ongoing construction of this sanctuary, I prefer to leave my good cloak in the closet for now. This will have to do.

Making this place is my most precious activity at the moment, though I unfortunately don't have that many hours to devote to it each day. I am also a PhD student in Anthropology, studying the long-term 'afterlives' of mental illness as kinds of everyday ghosts. Part of my job involves teaching others, and I'll be helping run a course on Anthropology and Language in the coming Fall semester.

I am a being in my late 20's, and I am only just figuring out what I like to do in this existence. After spending almost the last decade flitting between many different projects/jobs/hobbies, I finally landed squarely where I started: I think I just like making things.

This website is, in part, meant to be a place in service of spending more time doing things I actually want to do, and less time doing things that fit with my 'personality' but which I secretly find extremely exhausting (anti-shrine to things I hate is forthcoming).

Whether because I missed the memo or I was slightly too young to have a Geocities account, my first ventures into HTML were as a 13-year-old on Tumblr, where changing my cursor to a jar of peanut butter and making snowflakes fall on my blog was the pinnacle of life online. Though I closed my Tumblr in 2019, thinking back on it now made me realize that those were the last years I actually felt joy on the Internet. This website is also an attempt to rekindle that joy, and create more spaces and connections that aren't driven by algorithms designed to keep us hooked and miserable.
