About me

Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation reprographics and mail specialist
Location Sacramento area, California, United States
Introduction I earned a PhD in English, but my current job has no relationship to my degree. I have 30+ years as a Wiccan, even more years as a feminist, am a former libertarian, and am not quite an omniverous reader, since weakness in math pretty much confines me to the humanities. I have two daughters and one son. My oldest daughter has two sons, my youngest has one. I own two box turtles and one desert tortoise and share care of a bearded dragon. The household also includes my mother, my sister and her boyfriend, my nephew and his two daughters, five horses, two dogs, four cats and some chickens.
