The Bloggerista

I’m slogging through graduate school, my mid-twenties, and attendant quarter-life crises - it’s great! I like earthquakes, geological fluids, feminism, and pie.

Yami McMoots is entirely too silly to be anyone’s real name, let alone mine. “Yami” is how I spelled my real name when I was 3; “McMoots” is just something I tacked on when I noticed no one else was using it. Many of you know my real name, and most of the rest of you could probably figure it out in about five minutes if you really cared, but I’d still prefer that you don’t use my real name in connection with this site. I’m trying to save the Google-ju for my professional web presence. Thanks.
