New blog!

Hello, thank you for visiting Siberian Ginseng! I kept this blog from 2010 to 2013 and it covers most of my PhD writing and some of what came afterwards. Feel free to browse about.

A victim's motives. It really does make me rather sick.

Lovely, creative scenes built around a sleeping baby. This photo is one of my favourites:
