Super excited to be able to share the work I presented at #FSNNA24, a huge thanks to @fsnnorthamerica.bsky.social & @journal.transformativeworks.org for this opportunity!! 🎤✨
The second Multimedia piece of #TWC45 is also the final piece of the issue! @overthewordcount.bsky.social presents a poster illustrating a discussion of how Taylor Swift's fans construct their own vocabulary of "monstrous femininity." Check it out here:

Well, I've arrived at the end of my MACL era! 🥲 I'm excited to share that I successfully defended my MA thesis on #TaylorSwift & monstrous femininity yesterday!! 🎓🥳 I really cannot thank my supervisors and cohort enough - this programme is so special and I'm sad to be saying goodbye so soon.

I saw Wicked last night and it was so phenomenal that I’m afraid I will be making it my personality for at least the next 6 months! 💚🩷

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I am still sick so not much to share this TDoR, but you can read the stories of some folks we lost this year. As a historian, for me it is most important to connect with stories.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Finished reading #ThePairing by #CaseyMcQuiston last night and realised that all my favourite media so far this year has been horny, unhinged and unabashedly queer. I feel like there’s a research project in there somewhere! 🤔
