hi! welcome to my website. i'm anson! you might also know me as zoë.

i'm a chinese trans lesbian currently studying history and visual culture at the university of waterloo. here, you can find assorted things i've been doing; art, graphic design, writing, the books i've been reading, etc.

in case it wasn't clear, i am also a communist.

have a look around, and enjoy your visit! 💖

what do i do for fun? play video games and waste my time, mostly. i play a lot of team fortress 2, apex legends, and osu. overwatch too, on occasion. my favourite games of all time are probably disco elysium and hades. i also like to draw, though i do that now a lot less than i used to. other than that i just read, watch a film on occasion, and drink alcohol.

what am i interested in? modern history from the 19th century to today. i fuck with immanuel wallerstein's world-systems theory heavy. i have a particular interest in revolutionary, soviet, and decolonial histories. i'm also interested in counter-hegemonic, non-western, 20th century perspectives on modernism. i love reading, so feel free to talk to me about books anytime! i have a soft spot for russian literature; my favourite book of all time is probably anna karenina.
