pretty shiny things to pick at

I'm 100% Grade A dowdy bookworm spinster, verbivore, luftmensch, with revolution fantasies and an attention span problem. I don't drink Corona. I work from home. My family are mountainfolk, halfway between hippies and hillbillies. This can be amazing or horrifying or both at once, depending on the situation. I'm a communolibertian; my political views tend toward "what's being a good person" if you want to get vague about it.
