I'm a new editor to Wikipedia, though I've been an avid user for many years. It's my go-to site for everything, at least initially, as for so much of the world.
I'm interested in politics and what's happening with the Trump administration around the world and in the United States. Some scary stuff. I hope to write/edit about national security, media law, journalism, feminism and social change movements. I'm a former grassroots organizer (for a few years), so am very interested in methods and modes of social change. I spent years reading biographies and non-fiction, but in the last years I've turned back to fiction with a vengeance. Maybe we all need escapes. I'm a dog-lover (most of the time). At an earlier stage in my life and career I spent a lot of time in the former Soviet Union and former Communist bloc countries. I love theater, and for reasons I don't understand, will always try to see any production within reach of Macbeth, Threepenny Opera and Porgy and Bess.
