♥︎ hey besties, i'm shanks (she/they), a black queer hbcu alum turned first-year grad student studying english. i've started this blog to carve out my own little corner of the internet where i'll document my journey in grad school. my inbox will always be open, so please run it up so i can talk about this process with people other than my mom. this is basically and online journal, so you will also find some of my research interests here for fun along with basic life updates + other stuff! :p ♥︎
