Hi, I’m Jessica!

This is my personal website, where I blog about life, ideas, and everything else. There isn’t a pattern to when I post, but I’m liking this “every two to three months” thing I have going on. Either way, you can be pleasantly surprised by subscribing to the RSS feed.

Email comments or questions to [hi at jessicarod, dot com] (please no PGP). I’m also active on Signal; ask for my username via email or Instagram for the quickest response.

I’ve linked to some of my profiles in the sidebar/follow button and footer. Missing accounts that are cross-linked with my ORCID record are likely my own. Anything else might be me if they link back to this website.
