Nothing about motherhood made me more conservative. The more babies and burden, the more I know we need to go forth in beauty and cooperation and foolish foolhardy affection for the world

Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Jen. I'm a wife and SAHM of four who writes encyclopedia articles on the Safari browser for iPhone 17 while folding laundry and waiting to pick up the kids from school, etc. One of these days I would like to become a working mom again, because money, but for the time being I'm mostly here with the goal of making new start-class to B-class quality articles on topics of low importance in my areas of interest (history, nature, books, women).
My favorite fonts are Bembo, and Caslon, with honorable mention to Albertus for being in 1960s Faber & Faber books, thanks for asking.

It's our folk encyclopedia we can do what we want.

Sometimes I don't add {{use mdy dates}} as a protest against illogical American date formatting. When creating articles where it's marginally necessary, my preferred rendering is {{use mdy dates|date=December 2025|cs1-dates=ly}} which formats the main "created" date in our romantic regional style but all the viewed and archived dates are presented in a satisfying and logical robot-friendly format.
Our critics consider Wikipedia inaccurate rubbish, but they know not of how meticulously oiled the project is, and how much work goes into constantly expanding it. The vandal-hunters, stub-writers, dyk'ers, article-writers, copyeditors, image buffs, experts, administrators, bureaucrats, and legal buffs all have a place here, and when they work together the machinery powering this massive projects runs uninterrupted. When this spectrum comes together, the fabric works in harmony and Wikipedians churns out information at a rate faster then anything else in the world.
I recently had the wonderful experience of creating a two-sentence stub on a molecule. I encountered this molecule while collecting sources for articles about an American dramedy TV show. It would be hard to emphasize how little knowledge I have about chemistry or chemicals. It was incredible to see what unfolded after I published.
- Apparently what normals would see as the letter P is actually p- which is a secret code related to the architecture of the atoms? And chemical names do not use 1 and one interchangeably? So kindly editor User:Graeme Bartlett moved the article to the correct spot.
- Same kindly editor added a "chembox" that structured all known data about said molecule into a machine-and-human friendly format; this comes with a picture of said molecule that apparently already existed on Wikidata!
- Shoutout to Wikimedia Commons Commons:user:NadirSH for adding this molecular structure image back in 2023. You rock!
- Graham then added two categories that only someone who is able to "read" chemistry would know about: Category:Cyclic ketones and Category:Cyclohexanes. I am reminded of the xkcd comic on "average familiarity."
- Next came User:Reba16, who added another name format and another rendering of the molecular structure to the chembox, refined the stub tag, and specified the image size.
- Last but not least, User:Randomologist2000 revised the text to specify that it was an organosulfur compound (OK, sure) and put the chemical formula inline within the body of the wee stub article.
Amazing! Incredible! Seriously, gratitude to all for pitching in and helping make this little guy a less-embarrassing and ham-handed imposter of an encyclopedia article. I love this place and I love you guys. Now get back to work! ~~~~

Bold means that I think I did a good job or more likely that I just had a grand old time researching this topic.

Of late I do a lot of settler-colonizer studies, and trying to figure out where American slaves were held and by whomst
I would have liked to say that I was able to resurrect the voices of those who had been enslaved. But writing a historical narrative about the enslaved is complicated because there are multiple layers of silences. There is the fundamental silencing of Indigenous voices in the colonial archives, which privilege those of European officials. And many of the available epic poems or oral histories that have been passed from generation to generation often tell the stories of society's elites—the kings, nobles, warriors, and important religious leaders. Women rarely feature, and the enslaved almost never; they are muted, and the distance of a century reveals only flickering, spectral forms. How do we tell the stories of people that history forgets and the present avoids? I have tried here to uncover a handful of stories about a handful of people. I wish I could have done more.

COI/paid-editing declarations
[edit]Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the death of Michael Jackson, and created a handful of stubs like Isaac. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article mg (magazine) as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so.
My dad wants to contribute to wikipedia sometimes but has found the climate unwelcoming so sometimes he sends me text w cites or images and tells me where to add them and I do; such edits are summarized as such in edit summary. My FIL has written a lot of books that are cited on Wikipedia (which I know bc he told me), but I haven't ever messed with any of those pages or cites, to my knowledge. Another relative was killed in an act of terrorism but I have not engaged with the article other than reading it (or possibly typo fixes but I don't know how to check for sure). One of my kids has started making minor edits so I think we share an IP address when I'm not logged in. My husband is now on here very occasionally. Not sure if I want to link dad and husband accounts from here but just FYI.
