Ayanni C. H. Cooper

Would you be ok with pulling chapters from different books to round out the conversation? U Miss had some books that focused on specific monsters, or maybe chapters from something like _The Global Vampire: Essays on the Undead in Popular Culture around the World_?

It was nice to meet you today, Keezy! Glad I was able to grab a copy of Hello Sunshine before it sold out~ It looks like your DMs aren’t open, but still happy to send over some of my research about sexy monsters if you’d like

I’m watching my spouse play Silent Hill f (because I’m too much of a chicken to play myself, obviously) and am having a *field day* analyzing with these monster designs. So creepy, so layered, so so good~

i have a cat i need to rehome, i love him dearly and hes very sweet but hes stressed here and its not good for us or him, one of my other cats seems to not like him and i think thats where the stress starts, when hes stressed he pees outside his litter box, since I've isolated him its not been an issue his name is birch hes 2 years old and i raised him myself, i found him and his mom and took them off the streets, he wouldnt do good in a shelter but unless i can find him a home myself, which ive had no luck, thats my only choice please feel free to share this information and these pictures around, if you can get me in contact with someone id owe you forever, birch deserves better, he deserves love, hes shy but hes such a sweet angel and this is breaking my heart theres three pictures of a tuxedo cat along woth the screenshot text

trying one more time

I need to rehome my cat, been trying dor months woth no luck, he deserves a loving home

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old:

I cited some good pieces in my dissertation that think about the hows & whys of monster fuckery. Not exactly comparing/contrasting the differences between enjoyers of the subgenres, but maybe a useful place to start? ufdc.ufl.edu/UFE0059099/0...

I’d love to be proven wrong, but it feels like there’s so many new anime every season that we have instant and easy access to, that it feels like there’s no time/space to go back and watch older series. Maybe this is an old head take, but I’ve noticed a change in my own viewing habits, for sure!

Happy to chat about the position if folks have questions, though there is a lot of useful info on the page linked above.

JIC you didn’t see it elsewhere, my department at the MLA (academic program services & professional development) is looking for a program associate to join our team. This is a great role for an early-career humanities scholar (she says from experience) - www.mla.org/About-Us/Emp...

Merry and Pippin, obvi.

Oo, thanks for sharing. I’ll take a look~

My Modern Comics class *maybe* got a little more of my slightly unhinged, sleepy energy than I intended 🫠 it’s (sometimes) fun when tired Ayanni pokes her head into designated Professional Ayanni ™️ spaces.

They seemed to vibe, tho lol

Ooo, I’m excited! Fingers crossed it’ll arrive before the holidays~ (And thanks so much ☺️)

Didn’t realize the release date for this was so soon! Can’t wait to see this in print (including my essay on The Devil is a Handsome Man~)

#FanStudies folks, I'm looking for information on educational attainment in fandom, particularly adult fans (≥25 yo).
I've been through the Ao3 2013 & 2024 surveys; Fansplaining 2019 shipping & Overflow survey. No ?.
I know acafans are a thing, but not numbers.
Any suggestions?

Tbf, I could talk about On a Sunbeam until my face turns blue, so I think I did a good job not taking up the full 45min episode.

Fun fact: there’s apparently two “classes” of Beagle, big ole beagle and lil’ beagle. Dunno if there’s any difference besides their size, but two times the beagle is win in my book.

One of my new, favorite Thanksgiving traditions is watching the dog show w/ my mother in law. Our top picks never win their categories, but man, these dogs are so cute 💛 Every dog is best dog!

A rectangle, metal enamel pin that reads “I’m the Captain Now” in capital block letters. The O in Now is Captain America’ red, white, and blue shield. The background of the pin is blue.

Adding this lil guy in the mix too! A mainstay on my con lanyards lol
