Yes, I am trauma informed: I have recently been informed that I have a lot of it.

Reading Bychowski on Narcissus in Gower when I read this amazing sentence that ends with "or other queer fairy forms of gender" and now I'm badly in need of an epic poem called The Faerie Queere.

Hail, great black beyond and ye murky realms of the meta-social. I'm Willow, academic, professor, writer...and I have no clue what I'm doing here. But I'm exploring other social media now that the mainstream has turned to anti-social media, in particular the free-for-all license for misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia granted therein.

So I suppose I'll start with the professional. My training is in early modern (i.e. renaissance) literature, particularly theater and poetry. I write both prose and poetry. I have a deep love of musicals and wish I had the musical talent to write those, but... alas. I also have a deep interest in gender and sexuality, and my current reading includes Butler's Who's Afraid of Gender? and Herculine Barbin for a class I'm teaching in just a handful of days (eek).

So that's a bit of me. I'll be looking for people to follow and how this whole dead furry elephant thing works!
