Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.
Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).
Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.
Murphy! Took this a few days ago and forgot to upload it.
Murphy does not like the 20th Century Fox recorder audio file.
The problem is that one of the cats (Murphy) likes to be called ‘MuMu,’ and every time I call to him the dogs look for him wildly, so this might not go over well.

Low-quality video because my webcam decided to get wonky, but I basically made faces at my readings and then tried to get Murphy to look at the camera without speaking to him.
and then without realizing it I Laurel-shrugged and it was worse because I’m wearing my bowler in the video so it looks really lame
I gave Murphy a kiss for his namesake’s home run earlier and he bit my hand. Way to treat your mother, jerk cat.
Murphy’s enjoying my bed again. (Bad webcam photo.)
I really just love this cat.
Have a Murphy!

I’m almost crying right now because this reminds me of Murphy and me and how he saved me. I love that cat to death.

Obligatory Murphy photo. In this image, you can also see the following bizarre things in my room:
- Beyond the Fringe DVD
- Mach V toy
- Way too many history textbooks
It’s really a microcosm of my life - all those things and my cat.
I have the strangest cat, you guys.
I’m depressed, and when I’m having a crisis I just lie still and start trembling. http://bit.ly/JMy3X7
Murphy and I have had this sort of relationship from the day we met when he was six weeks old and I was struggling with severe OCD. Since then, he’s always been there when I’ve been having a rough day. He’s absolutely incredible.
Hey, Tumblr, the baseball player I named my cat after made a great play at second base and had a walk-off hit tonight!
YEAH SO HAVE A PICTURE OF CAT!MURPHY BECAUSE I CAN.
