2017revivalName: Holly
Age: 35
Location: I live in Manchester, UK. I'm from Minnesota.
Describe yourself in five sentences or less: Hollymath is a pun on my name and also on the word polymath, "a person of great and varied learning." I don't know about great, but my learning is certainly varied.
I'm a carer for my autistic husband and I volunteer with various projects helping blind people, immigrants, women and bisexuals (or LGBT+ people more generally but I'm always looking out for the bi people most of all). I am, perhaps not coincidentally, a bisexual immigrant woman and I'm what's called legally blind in the U.S. and registered blind in the UK.
I'll never be the writer young-me wanted so badly to be, but I'm working on a book about immigration in the UK, which I have Kickstarted to pay for the extortionate UK citizenship fees.
Top 5 fandoms: Space (and science generally, but especially space), linguistics, dogs, baseball, and Hamilton.
I mostly post about... Lots of politics lately, what with Trump and Brexit, but I try to keep it about constructive, positive things that might actually help. Also my dog, my husband, my boyfriend, being disabled, my mental health (I have depression and anxiety), being an immigrant, random things that happen in my life, and the stuff mentioned in the fandoms above.
My last three posts were about... A friend's birthday celebration, a couple things about the LJ/DW changeover (which I'm counting as one to make this answer slightly more representative), and a post about Minnesota politics that I was assured was of interest to at least a few people who aren't from Minnesota!
How often do you post? A few times a week. It varies depending on my mental health. How about commenting? I think I comment a lot? I read everything, anyway; I love blogging and the community surrounding it here.
