the platform is where capitalism explodes.

CCSN keeps coming up, and I'm sorry I missed it! Over 100 attendees is a strong attendance for a preconference, and a good indication of interest in this area 👀 #ica25
Room is PACKED for our fireside lunch chat with YouTube’s Michelle Beaver & @cfiesler.bsky.social! Getting the inside scoop on what is—and how are—Top Creators.

Home from #ICA25, where I’m still basking in the intellectual community emerging from @weareccsn.bsky.social’s #DebatingCreatorCulture precon. Reunited with old friends and mentors, made new ones. During times like these, I couldn’t ask for anything better. 💕✨💕 until next time!

Can’t believe that my grad student journey follows the exact trajectory of the 20th century:
began with the Fall of the Ottoman Empire (me leaving modern studies) & ended with Seinfeld on TV (me at #ICA25 #DebatingCreatorCulture talking Nothing, Forever)
