"I'm no woman at all. I'm a red-shouldered hawk, cursed to live in human form." #witchproblems #ilovebrooms 

Hello, nice to meet you.  
You can call me Jen. I'm a wife and [[wikt:SAHM|SAHM]] of four who writes encyclopedia articles on the Safari browser for iPhone 15 while folding laundry and waiting to pick up the kids from school, etc. One of these days I would like to become a working mom again, because money, but for the time being I'm mostly here with the goal of making new start-class to B-class quality articles on topics of low importance in my areas of interest (history, nature, books, women).

<br>One curse at a time

You take two strangers and put 'em in random predicaments
<br>Give 'em a soul so they can make their own choices and live with it"

== COI/paid-editing declarations ==
Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the [[death of Michael Jackson]], and created a handful of stubs like ''[[Isaac (talk show)|Isaac]]''. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article [[mg (magazine)|''mg'' (magazine)]] as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so. 

My dad wants to contribute to wikipedia sometimes but has found the climate unwelcoming so sometimes he sends me text w cites or images and tells me where to add them and I do; such edits are summarized as such in edit summary. My FIL has written a lot of books that are cited on Wikipedia (which I know bc he told me), but I haven't ever messed with any of those pages or cites, to my knowledge. Another relative was killed in an act of terrorism but I have not engaged with the article other than reading it (or possibly typo fixes but I don't know how to check for sure). One of my kids has started making minor edits so I think we share an IP address when I'm not logged in.
