Using the services of a professional copyeditor is necessary to identify the flaws in your writing that nobody except professional copyeditors gives a damn about.

The queen died after meeting with Liz Truss.
The pope died after meeting with JD Vance.
Anyone still has any doubts that right-wing populism is deadly?

This comes full circle with writers like Kodwo Eshun and Sadie Plant, who tend to take on a popular writing style, but end right back in the wonderful realm of “the obscure, the opaque, the impenetrable.”
"Why do we...lionize this...pseudopopulist orientation and...denounce the kind of writing most of our colleagues engage in in one way or another? Why do we reflexively believe that difficult writing...writing deemed opaque or inaccessible, is an inherent problem?"

3,5 years and 2 world orders ago, we have announced an open call for the special issue of Journal of Sonic Studies on "Sound in the (Post-)Soviet Realm".
Today the issue is finally online: www.researchcatalogue.net/view/558606/...
Huge thanks and congratulations to all the authors and the JSS team!

I wrote a piece for @irishtimes.com about OpenAI’s short story. I feel if we don’t make a concerted effort as humans to help people of all ages gain literacy around AI-generated content, we have no chance at being able to have a consensus reality. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
Jennifer Walshe: OpenAI’s short story about grief has critics in floods of tears or outrage. They’re all missing the point
Judging this story as I’d judge a short story published in The Stinging Fly or the Winter Papers is the wrong approach to take. Reading AI-generated stories demands a new type of literacy

One year ago today we performed "morning songs" with @sofia-borges.bsky.social, @nokdk.bsky.social, Theda Weber-Lucks and Werner Dafeldecker at the Berlin School of Sound.
The video documentation is still being edited, but we'll get there eventually😅

Is it me of have sound studies been going out of vogue lately?
Like, where are the conferences? Where are the book reviews (I don't think even the Oxford Handbook of Sound Art got any) Where is the discourse?

I wonder if people who claimed that Putin has had "legitimate security concerns" in Ukraine are finding Trump's "security concerns" in Canada and Greenland equally legitimate... 🤔
