I’m a queer lady, Erin Jr.’s mama, and Eryn’s partner. The three of us live in San Francisco, though Eryn and I both work in Cupertino. I love to travel, I enjoy watching sports, I have the unfortunate habits of collecting keyboards and watches, and I’m illegal in over 60 countries.

Tumblr’s export format is bare-bones HTML, so writing the importer was relatively easy.
