Good eve fediverse denizens! I'm Kit, a queer disabled history student with a love for old books, antiques and open-source knowledge!
I am rapidly approaching my 40th year on this planet and am going through the slow process of getting my undergrad (mid 3rd year right now) while juggling my disability.
I am currently calling Scotland my home and speak both English and French, so tend to share knowledge in either of these languages.
My area of interest are vast and having to find a 'speciality' is the bane of my existence. I tend to prefer anything pre-1900s but post-BC. Japan is a particular country of interest but I don't let that stop me. I love domestic, queer, and disabled history, to name but a few.
Looking forward to meeting fellow historians, history lovers, open knowledge sharers.

Pecans weren’t always holiday pie royalty 🥧

They spent thousands of years being traded, poached, ignored and reinvented. But they’re nutritious and versatile and even went to the Moon on Apollo missions (yes, literally 🚀)
