The Black(wood) Box

Hello! I'm blackwood! I'm a queer woman in my 20s who enjoys reading, writing, programming, and generally making/consuming artistic works. I have some professional experience as a Software Developer but I'm definitely still learning.

Optimizing gemlog.blue for an optimal posting experience o(＾▽＾)o

Stuff I enjoy/find interesting:

• Human Sexuality
• Sex Education
• Queer Theory and more broadly Critical Theory
• Philosophy
• Poetry
• Indie publishers (Check out AK Press, Radix Media, Verso Press, and Feminist Press)
• Indie Comics (Check out Liz Suburbia, Benji Nate, and Michael Sweater)
• Indie Games (Check out Secret Little Haven, Gone Home, Depression Quest)
• Zines (I always fuck this up but it's pronounced like maga-zine not like z-eye-ne)
• The history and legacy of the Riot Grrrl scene

Stuff I'm planning to do on this blog:

• I have plans to do some book reviews and some zine reviews.

Gemini Blue wishlist:

• The ability to download posts for archival and backup purposes
• The ability to rename posts (PLEASE)
• The ability to change the appearance of your default user page or simply set a blog post as your main user page.
• Maybe a contact page for the creator(s) of this site?
