welcome to my homepage!
I got fed up with rich men ruining the internet, so I'm making my own space :P
This website is under construction. Please check back later for more fun stuff!
about me
hey I'm Stella and I built this website! I'm an anthropology PhD student from the UK studying how people's experiences of the seasons in Tokyo are being affected by climate change.
Aside from that I have a slightly outrageous amount of hobbies including crochet, indoor climbing, watching Coronation Street, and as of the Great 2025 Tech Bro Induced Internet Enshittification™, building websites I guess! I hope you enjoy poking around my little corner of the internet, small as it is!
plans for this website
I intend to somehow turn this into a blog, hopefully with some kind of newsletter so people can stay in touch? I'm envisioning the newsletter having both serious essays, and a weekly random thoughts email with all the stuff I would otherwise put on my Instagram stories. Currently not sure how to implement this given neocities has no backend... we're working on it!
