  3. Re#Introduction with hashtags! I’m a #Romantodon pretending to be a #Victodon because I like all the #dinosaurs - I work on #Romantic writers like #Wollstonecraft, #Austen, and #Coleridge and also enjoy #Gothic fiction and #ChildrensLiterature - currently I’m working on taking #RomanticStudies from the #sublime to the #ridiculous, as a way of thinking about crises of #nature, #society, and #childhood as #collectives rather than individuals - I still mostly toot #CatPics #CatsOfMastodon

  6. @profchander well I have been looking for a ridiculous romantic elephant to celebrate arriving on Mastodon but all I’ve found is Charles Willson Peale’s Exhuming the First American Mastodon from 1806 #Romantodon
