I’ve learned so much by meeting Brazilian scholars I’d otherwise not be as familiar with. Including their theoretical and methodological lineages. I am looking forward to exploring more of their work. Ok I may need to run it through a translator but that’s academias version of the 2” barrier in film

Soooo, I’m doing a presentation next week at AoIR about the fractioning of reddit Swiftie fandom. I would really like to use this one - with credit of course! - as an illustration somewhere in those slides. Not actually covering the album. But. It’s fun and I’m talking about the engagement.

It is also excellent in a milky coffee. If you haven’t tried. Oh and poured over ice cream.

I have the same reaction to the identical use of β€œlarp”. I also agree it isn’t cosplay either.
The word β€œpretend” is right there…

I had quite the moment seeing this in cinemas. I’d no idea BuriΔ‡ was in the film but know him well from Danish cinema :)

Me: Deae students, please don’t use AI to summarise articles - it doesn’t know what’s important

Proquest: *turns on AI summaries by default*

Uni library: *leaves them on*

No wonder students get mixed messages about what’s ok!!!

Philanthropies Strike a Promising Deal to Turn Back H.I.V.

This is huge: β€œA drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

A US fascism expert’s warning to Australia: β€˜You guys are probably next’ The US’s slide towards authoritarianism is part of a global trend, says professor and fascism expert Jason Stanley. And distant Australia, far from being immune, is uniquely vulnerable

β€œYou guys are probably next, right?

…Stanley cites Australia’s history of Indigenous displacement, its β€œperformatively vicious” treatment of asylum seekers and the fierce β€œanti-woke” rhetoric that pierces public discourse.
