proud owner of a dysfunctional body

i'm jaffacakesofficial (or elissa). i'm a queer/autistic/disabled disability public historian, primarily working with the long 20th century in the US. i love to talk about my research, so feel free to drop an ask if you're curious! i'm about to start my doctorate, so i'm even more eager to yap about my work.

i post regularly on the seattle kraken + torrent lbs (and rarely the washington capitals). sometimes i hop into the other sports lbs (mariners, looking at you!) -- though hockey is my main thing, i'm always down to learn about other sports 😊

please post with image descriptions in your alt text, if you need details on that you can see my post here. videos with captions/transcripts are also really nice (i don't have a post on that, but if i come across one, i'll try to remember to link it).

tags i'm especially proud of working on:

things hockey commentators say

things sports commentators say

the mariner moose is genderqueer

disability history

history

among others 😊 thanks for checking out my blog!!
