Welcome to the Magrittr webpage!

You may know me from tumblr. If that's how you found me, hello again! If you found me some other way, welcome and thanks for stopping by!

About

My name is Emily. I live in the USA with a fluffy young cat and share many of my hobbies with little old ladies who have strawberry hard candies as everyday carry. If you're into any of the following, we might get along:

• Being super curious to the point of idiocy.
• Wandering art museums for hours.
• Wondering how much the art museums' stuff is looted for hours.
• Baking your own bread and making your own sauerkraut.
• Knitting and/or learning to make and mend clothing.
• R programming, specifically for the analysis of health-related data. (That's my job!)
• Birds (do you know your local waterbirds?)
• General minimalism, low waste living, DIY, anticonsumerism, what have you.
• Medieval stuff.

Want to reach out? Shoot me an email at: magrittr@proton.me. I try to check it occasionally.
