the person behind mewcroplastics

a bit about me:

i'm a mixed-race latiné lesbian from the u.s. who uses they/them pronouns and is currently getting their doctorate in community psychology. i have my bachelor's in research psychology and a minor in education, with a focus on teaching critical race and ethnic studies. i identify as androgynous and butch, and use the umbrella terms queer and non-binary to describe myself. i believe in decolonizing education, making science open-access, and building solidarity between and within communit(ies).

when i'm not grading for the uni class(es) i help teach or doing research for my phd, i'm probably adventuring around my city or browsing the internet

things i do for fun:

crochet, poorly

spend time outside--i love walking, hiking, backpacking, & camping

listen to music! favorite genres include shoegaze, shibuya-kei, twee pop, nugaze/numetal, & indie folk

take pictures. i have a separate page on this blog for that

learn about the history of art and visual culture of indigenous north & south america; specific geographic areas of interest are the pnw & andean regions

exlpore queer-trans history, especially lesbian and transgender histories. my personal favorite archival blog is that-butch-archivist on tumblr and my favorite digital/physical archive is the lesbian herstory archives in New York.

some reminders:

black lives matter

give the landback

free palestine

liberation for all (none of us are free until all of us are free)
