Well, I've arrived at the end of my MACL era! πŸ₯² I'm excited to share that I successfully defended my MA thesis on #TaylorSwift & monstrous femininity yesterday!! πŸŽ“πŸ₯³ I really cannot thank my supervisors and cohort enough - this programme is so special and I'm sad to be saying goodbye so soon.

No actually, I got super lucky in that regard! I was able to hear all of the musical numbers without much audience interruption 😊

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! πŸ’šπŸ©·

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.

A screenshot from the game β€œMastermind” on the Swift Alert app. The screenshot shows that the user guessed all three surprise songs on the piano correctly, scoring +57 for the mash-up and +21 in bonus points.

Heading into this final week of writing with a perfect mash-up guess for the first time!! Hoping this a good omen for getting this thesis done… 🫢πŸ₯³

Remembering Our Dead - Reports 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024

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.

Carefully saving the deleted section in a new document, just in case I need the worst paragraph ever written for future work

Put β€œgenre isn’t a boundary, it’s a description of what a story is doing” on my tombstone (but put β€œdoing” in italics so the emphasis is clear)

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! πŸ€”

#AcademicSky, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.

1) fangirls as theorists of monstrous femininity

2) pop concerts as collective embodied writing
