Hello all, my name is Jess, this is my #introduction to mastodon. I am trying to move away from other social media sites due to all the everything that's going on and hoping to make connections and whatnot. I am from California, but I live in Texas currently. I'm hoping to go home at some point before WW3 but we shall see what happens. I am currently a doctoral student in behavior analysis and it's going /okay/.
