about the webmistress

I'm Katie, I'm a PhD researcher at University of Wesminster in the school of architecture and cities. I'm interested in Crip Theory and urban geography, and my work looks at the practices of disabled people's everyday mobilities. My home is London, where I have been for over a decade and which I fall more in love with everyday. I'm a wheelchair user, dungeon master, and human-guardian to my two fluffy goblins Felt and Noodle.

My first online alias was katerooony (my username for old school runescape), hence the title.

about this website

When I was 11 I spent all my free time on my parents' computer, playing Runescape, editing films on Windows Movie Maker, and updating my freewebs website. I've been inspired by the web revival movement's mission to recapture some of that old-web creativity, independence, and community. HTML and CSS were not in my skillset, but I've decided to learn them on the go with this project. Check out my links page for sources I've found useful.

Accessibility: I care deeply about web accessibility. While I've done my best to build this site with a11y principles in mind, I acknowledge that I have likely messed up in some place or another, for which I apologise. Do reach out to me if you find any glaring mistakes.

future updates

once I've finished fiddling around with the about me page, I'm going to work on adding content to my shelves.
