I have a thing to post: Full article: The Energies of Boyhood www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... T&F told me to tweet about it and I guess this will do.
The Energies of Boyhood
Boys are figured as both too fast and too slow for what’s expected of them. Too action-oriented for the classroom or for happy domestic containment. Too slow to grow up or too stalled by obstacles ...

Drawn back by a wave of post-US-election migration from X spawning many follow notifications. It’s more populated here now, but is it busy with interesting things? I don’t know if I have enough desire to find out. I think the window in which I might have really embraced social media is well closed.

A thought about bsky in its current form. It feels like a room that’s not so densely crowded that you can’t be bothered speaking and wouldn’t be heard if you tried. But it also feels like that cannot last - either it becomes crowded or people to talk to leave because social media is about the crowd

This account is still in a holding pattern till I see what, if anything, happens here. But I’ve gone further than any of the other substitute platforms in having an actual profile image.
