Do you believe in the restorative power of a good story? Inkwoven is meant to be a safehaven for my writing — long “thinks” combined with tea and good conversation. Topics will vary, but possibly often focus on literature and art through the lens of Sacred Text, the treatment of secular (non-religious) texts as bringers of a quasi-platonic truth.


Who Am I?


You can call me Miss Tuesday. I’m in my early thirties and have lived in southern New England all my life.

I grew up intimately immersed in my mom’s culture (Québécois and Italian) and am becoming exposed to my father’s: Irish-Scots and Cherokee Nation (CNO). Because my father and brother have their citizenship cards, my application to the CNO is currently under review. I’m learning Tsalagi as a way to start connecting to that heritage. I am also engaged to Thugboi*, who is half-Lao/Cambodian and half-Québécois.

I currently work in the Office of the Registrar at College 16*. I am also obtaining my M.Ed. in Higher Education [Administration], which should be complete by May 2026. Before that, I received my B.A. in Classics, concentrating on Classical Civilizations and Cultures. (My linguistic path was Latin, although I preferred Ancient Greek.) I studied Old Irish on the side during that time. Before that, I received an A.A. in General Studies after changing my major from Illustration/Sequential Art (comic books) to French, then Biology/Secondary Education.

I attend Sacred Text meetings at the local Unitarian Universalist church. Our current text is His Dark Materials; we’re starting Book Three, The Amber Spyglass, in the autumn. I’m also pursuing slow living as I navigate growing older with a chronic degenerative syndrome. Because of this new intentionality, I am trying to pick up baking, solo roleplaying games, plushie making, and deep dives into literature and art. I am also learning how to be financially literate and thrifty.

All of these “defining factors” will certainly influence the topics and philosophy discussed in this blog. If you’re interested in any of the topics found here, please feel free to message me! Some of my most cherished friends started as online acquaintances.

[community profile] newcomers has lots of resources about how to use Dreamwidth and where to find things you'll enjoy here. If you're coming from Tumblr, [personal profile] soc_puppet is posting tutorials for that angle.

In fact, it's the most effective form of activism I've tried, in terms of people telling me, "I did the thing."
