laughing.sophist@gmail.com BioThings for which I've been paid: Learning scientist, writer, game designer, math tutor, dance instructor, statistics consultant, administrative assistant, sushi chef, barrista
Places you might recognize me from: fiction/poetry/non-fiction/journalism; a couple of books I helped edit and slush read; various game design places; tango communities up and down the east coast; spec fic cons
I like making things with my brain. I sleep little. I'm currently in grad school performing research on how to manipulate young and impressionable minds with the power of well-designed software, and how to make them better with machine learning and data mining. I have a degree in Humanities (seriously). I only have most of a degree in Mathematics. I think schools are systemized oppression, and degrees only signify an ability to tolerate oppression. I went to Odyssey Writer's Workshop in 2008.
My father is Japanese. My mother is umpteenth-generation American. I grew up in the American South. I do not agree with your politics. I enjoy cooking. I'm a lover and a fighter. This is the only time I've used so many declarative sentences. Perhaps passive voice should be used, and a compound sentence structure will bring variety.
