Also I wrote a paper in grad school about Sukeban Deka and Showa idol culture, but now that I've watched more of the series I wanna take another crack at it because I have a whole different perspective.

Imagine how powerful I'd be if I didn't have attention issues.

I think I have my whole tweet thread about Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu saved somewhere. Also like *waves at Adachi's entire bibliography*

I came back to my post about Slam Dunk having likes and stuff, am I being perceived for realsies? Is this my chance to go on an unhinged rant about just how many manga I've stumbled into that have mourning themes by absolute accident?

Honestly, academia's been hard because I just feel like an island with my interest/approaches, my mental health as been whittled away, and I just can't find the time outside of Being a Human obligations to sit down and do anything.

On another note related to that - I kind of want to write about the First Slam Dunk because it hit a lot of the same notes I talked about in previously mentioned thesis about Touch.
There's also that veeerry thin thread in the manga.

Mechademia is apparently going to do an issue about death in Winter 2025. Will this finally be a chance for me to publish part of my masters thesis?

I used one of my invite codes on my main account to make this one, but I don't know how many people I'm gonna follow on it or even how often I'll use it considering how much I use my "professional" Twitter RIP
