I need them to announce the next Psych Con because I’ve been making bracelets every time I’m feeling anxious. Considering I have over 200… I’ve been very anxious.

Who ever let me have this goofy lil karaoke machine for my classroom has made the worst mistake of their life.

My classroom for the summer program is by the communications section of Northwestern library. Not only has this been super helpful for my book, it’s solidified my decision to apply for my PhD this cycle.

I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to connect with the person from my hometown who has this bumper sticker

Visited the Alex Ross exhibit at the Dunn Museum in Lake County (review article to come). I had a lovely time and it’s urging me to move to the area so I can visit their special exhibits more often!

Thanks @transformativeworks.org for highlighting my article for @thegeekiary.bsky.social on fandom holidays!

13 years ago, I knew this thing would change my life. But if you told me that change would look like writing a whole book I would have thought you were joking. It’s been an honor to talk to Alex, Jason, Ariel, and (soon) Rob. But it’s also been a privilege to connect with so many fans. #gravityfalls

There’s a lot of things I wish I could say, but out of moral obligation I won’t. So instead I present this meme with no context.

Speaking of other fun things I did last week: I took a pilgrimage to the Double R Diner + scenic shots from #TwinPeaks. I wrote a message in the memorial scrapbook for David Lynch about his influence. Since I’ve been writing this book on #GravityFalls I truly felt as if I were on sacred ground.

Going to the MOPOP last week was a life-confirming experience. I spend so much time trying to bring my careers in fanstudies and education together that to be in a space curated for learning through pop culture felt surreal.

Really enjoying doing research for this class on Marvel and WW2

I get to talk to some people and I am genuinely losing my mind over it.

Me, after learning I can’t accept a press badge to SDCC because my stupid job laid me off for no reason and I can’t risk the expense.

It’s Shakespearean insult day in sophomore English class. Today I’m “pestiferous hell-governed miscreant”.

I love teaching this stupid play

Decided 2025 will hold more fanzines. I technically lead a major zine back in 2021, but this year will be all about the basics. Started with #Psych and while I won’t be in Philly maybe I can pass them out at #C2E2
