Palestinian-Jewish mom of two tots. Excitable, direct & curious; endlessly fond of wit & silliness in all it's forms. A voracious reader & companion to nature, my pets, & anyone who needs an ear. I enjoy creating in most forms & find myself in an endless pursuit of joy, laughter, & community; I have soft spots for fungi, etymology, cinema, dancing, punk & jazz music, science fiction, horror films, & nourishing meals with warm company. I have degrees in epidemiology, sociology, & philosophy. I currently work in disability support services & am studying to become an occupational therapist.
