I’m very excited to share this. My first time co-writing with a student who won a year-long fellowship to help compile the data. Many thanks owed to those who read, edited, and supported along the way. Please share widely!!

There’s lot of bullshit ways that we weigh literary/artistic value, & always have been,* but sweet fancy Moses right now likes/subs/views feel particularly insidious.
