I am interested in many things including contemporary visual art, nuclear legacy issues, the environment, ecology, women in the arts and sciences, geological phenomena, caves and caverns, hot springs, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, shrines, ancient sites, megalithics, waste disposal and storage sites, Indigeneity and indigenous land and cultural issues, rock & roll especially women in punk rock, space-and-place, and Japanese topics related to arts and culture. Working on correcting systemic bias is of deep interest. I also periodically hang out at AfD to try to save salvageable articles on notable people/topics. I participate in several WikiProjects and occasionally attend edit-a-thon events.
Thank you, Netherzone, for creating this really attractive barnstar for Women in Red and for all your interesting biographies on women in art.--Ipigott (talk) 09:47, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
