Zines + Text Artifacts

PhD-ing takes up most of my life these days, but when I'm not researching, I'm learning InDesign and hoping to work in the publishing industry as a production editor someday. "Knucklebone Press" is a placeholder moniker for my experiments in typesetting and text layout, where I take early modern texts from EEBO and turn them into printable booklets. I also make original zines and ttrpgs, which you can find on my itch page.

Soupbone Collective

I currently serve as a groundskeeper for Soupbone, a distributed humanities collective founded in 2019. We are a group of friends who get together once in a while and make things at the intersections of research and lived experience. You can check out our site and our zines here.

Downtime

If I'm not writing or making zines, I'm probably: biking around town / sewing quilts and bags / playing with my cat / trying to code / browsing a bookstore / stretching / playing BG3 / eating potatoes / cleaning the home / reading a poem / cooking green beans / writing letters to my friends / listening to a ttrpg podcast / walking at dusk / zoning out / locking in / sleeping.
