I’m standing in front of a digital display and pointing to the part that notes the panel I’m on, “Banned Books and Beyond: Censoring Practice in Late Imperial China” starts in a little over an hour
Next up? Our panel! #mla26

Broke bits off a front tooth in my university library stacks because I was walking and reading and smashed my forehead into a low ceiling beam. Because I fell to the floor in front of a horrified young employee, they must have told a supervisor and the spot soon got blocked off with a barrier

A-mei, pop goddess, wearing a skeleton jecket, short skirt, and sky high gogo boots, brings amazing energy to 2026
it is 1:30am in Taitung, A-mei, 53 years old, is still performing. Meanwhile here in Colorado, I, 40 years old, plan to be asleep by about 10pm on NYE.
This is why I'm a literature professor, not a popstar.

A-mei absolutely partying hard along with everyone else in Taitung, including all the earlier performers who are just dancing around on stage with this pop goddess
ok but this millennial had to jump to Taitung because it's A-Mei!!!

7-11 mascot dancing rather than leaving the stage
shrimp mascot is... something. there are no words, sorry.
7-11 mascot dancing, and now a shrimp mascot distributing fantastic prizes. Kaohsiung has excellent mascot representation

fireworks over kaohsiung harbor with less flashy but very bright red flares in the sky behind them
The ships outside the harbor setting off their flares at midnight and blowing their horns is such a Kaohsiung moment, I miss that place a lot in moments like this

Band on stage in Kaohsiung in front of some neon nonsensical graphics
It's hard to find a stream that isn't kpop, which is great for kpop fans but not for me, but thankfully Kaohsiung is back to Taiwan rock

Against a background of streaming text ala The Matrix (1999), a weird CGI head announces the next act and somehow pities the audience at the same time for not being terrifying computer generated body-less creatures.
ok but wtf Taipei, it's time for me to find a different stream again

Silly dancing & the star is dressed all in sparkles
The song was about chillaxing, it was so cute
Back to Taipei because this was adorable and weird, just what I want out of all these shows. （they're on an ad & announcement break now)

Sesame Street - A family lose their dog Ace
Chatting with @margiburge.bsky.social reminded me of this vintage Sesame Street clip that I watched many times a toddler (on a taped VHS a friend in the US mailed us) which meant for a brief time this TaiwaneseAmerican kid had a NYC accent on “lost dog” youtu.be/0obYAdfihDk check out the printing!!

A better framework is to address the broader project of AI to displace interpersonal contact, thought, negotiation; and to normalize this project. This aspect of AI is essential to the economic agenda that it underpins. 2/n

If nothing else, this phenomenon is heightening the visibility of those who use citation simply as a signaling apparatus and not for the purposes of leading readers to the source of their claims or the thinking with which they are engaging.

Slide explaining my absence, text reads:
Where is Professor Alexander?
Somewhere on the way to Toronto, Canada to present a paper at a conference. She hears January is the perfect time to visit Canada. Right??
Would she rather be in class right now?
Yes.
Seriously.
She says hi, she’ll meet you all on Monday!
Sure fall semester just ended, but since I have to miss my first lecture of Spring 2026 to go to a conference and my TAs have to teach it for me, I've been working on Week 1, Day 1 slides tonight...
Looking forward to #MLA2026, but didn't realize it would overlap with my first week of class!
