Also yesterday we got to celebrate 10 years of the Palgrave Adaptation series, run by @grossmjj.bsky.social and Barton Palmer. There was an excellent cake, and I’m so happy to have been on a cake in such excellent company

Great first day at the Association of Adaptation Studies Conference in Istanbul. Saw some brilliant papers on AI and sound, presented on the Contemporary Screens panel, and ate Adaptation Cake. Have also obviously been befriending some of the city's beautiful cats.
