Meanwhile, universities are wholesale forking over billions to AI companies that claim to be universal panaceas for all that ails teaching and research, so that promises to end well

In addition, or in reaction, to all that’s going on in the world, my mind keeps thinking of more projects and my body has less and less energy.

The irony is not lost on me that I’m wearing ‘protection’ to watch a musical about vagina dentata. #teeth #splashzone

I think ya’ll don’t understand how amazing and funny this will be. Pre-order it! bookshop.org/p/books/a-pa...

I’ll be anticipating the announcement so I can come!

Why not Thanksgiving? She’s more the pumpkin pie of the prince’s eye.

Hot take: The Wicked movie should edit out about 20-30 minutes if they ever want me to watch it again.

I have a question for you. Is there such a thing as surrealist music? Creation-wise, yes, but in the experience of listening? I’m not so sure.

Thank you! If you'd like to include me, I do philosophy of music and aesthetics work.

Thank you! I deleted my :shantbenamed: like a bandaid, so missing out. Also, I'd be excited to be in pt 3 if there is one.

A flier for The Library is Open

If you've ever wanted to take a class with me, now might be the time to learn how to READ, honey! I've partnered with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social to teach "The Library is Open: Understanding Media Ethics" to raise $ for food, water & education in North Gaza www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/how...

Hot Take: the musical Wicked is just Glinda's POV of the events. They are affected by glamour magic and the glamour of musical theater.

The Wicked books are 'objective' and also darker, more about politics and power, and more about social activism and fighting oppression.

Y'all need to read Wicked and its sequels by Gregory Maguire. They're brilliant and also required reading if you're gay.

I think I am approaching the point where "too many changes" becomes "wash over me with change" - which, right now, they aren't bad changes and it isn't a bad thing to go with the flow.

Except, ya know, fascism.

It might be tempting to have life be a musical. But this is one of the consequences.

Service Year Alums Awards Honorees and 12 pictures of the honorees

I won an award last month. Service Year Alums Award for how my term of service aimed at bridging divides.

I deleted the other account yesterday. In a band-aid type move. I don’t mind much. Weeee

I also host a podcast, @omwfpodcast.bsky.social - though need to release some episodes but, ya know, :waves around: fascism.

I’m two out of three of those. Haha.

Presenting a lightening talk is kinda fun. Like a comedy challenge. And y’all know I can talk about TV musical episodes for a short or very loooong time.

New podcast episode on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Musical Episode: scenetosong.podbean.com/e/scene-to-s...

So, who wants to talk about music and Super Mario Wonder?

I’d love to read anything you’ve got out there. I haven’t published much, but I’ve also changed paths and mainly do sex ed and teach music on the side. (Clarinet and musicology courses)

8 black tins with stickers on them, including a holographic clitoris cartoon and various biblically accurate angel depictions.

Bought more tins for sex education conversation card decks and activities. And, the use of stickers!

Aca-Gothic-Colleagues. Got a book on Doppelgänger Gothic for Palgrave and in urgent need of a 5,000 word essay on Clones/Twins/Split personalities in Gaming: and a separate one on “Us”.

It’s needed by end March 2024. If interested email me at: baconetti@gmail.com

And I’ve been focusing on singular episodes in a non-musical series and their relationship to post 9/11 ideas of authenticity and sincerity in a US looking for the ‘inner-most truth’ of people and how that reflects Romantic identity.

Wow, awesome. I have been coming at them through philosophy, namely Nietzsche, but also more generally with German Idealism. But then also getting into things like the medical discourse around spontaneous combustion and health.

Card showing the text, “How will I be useless to capitalism today?”

Too many projects and not enough time. And then I just have to remember this: “How will I be useless to capitalism today?” from the Rest Deck

Hello! I study TV musicals too. We are few and far between. And I recently got to do a podcast on this episode (not out yet). Anyway, I’d love to hear more about your work.

Oo interesting. I’ll look into that.
