ABOUT ME
I am Penny Marie Cooke/Corter/Chereamie (she/her)! Amateur number station archivist, cartographer, historian, political.. person, anime critic, and any number of things I periodically lose and regain motivation to engage in.
I was born in the state of Michigan within the United States at the age of 0. I have, regrettably, been situated in a worse state immediately to the southeast for much of my life.
Where am I?
What do I believe in?
Politically, I am a Marxist-Leninist. I believe the only way forward is an armed uprising against capitalism and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat to pave the way for a society without class or currency.
Political Tests (bear with me)
I don't think political tests are actually useful. That said, they are fun to take. Here are my results.
Spiritually, I consider myself an athiest. It isn't a topic I get as up in arms about as my political beliefs, though. I operate on a "live and let live" system, as long as a given group remains tolerant and non-hateful.
My favorites
- Favorite show: Girls Last Tour/Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (2017). If you look at my ratings on my anime planet account, I have only ever awarded 4 shows a 5 star rating. This, in my opinion, means that I had zero significant problems with it. Girls Last Tour has a fantastic setting, excellently written characters, and a great story. There is no other piece of media I would suggest you watch more than it.
- Favorite song/movie/game: This tends to fluctuate, so instead this information will be on its own "Current Obsessions" page.
- Favorite color: A lighter shade of purple
- Favorite animal: Cats and/or foxes

About the Website
The one thing I resent most about the modern internet is that there's no space to call your own. Sure, you can have a profile on a social media website, but you can't customize anything past your profile picture and bio! My main goal is to create a nice little online space for myself.
My main inspiration (as some of my design choices make clear) is satyrs.eu, which I stumbled upon through alternatehistory.com, specifically the Toast3r color scheme.
