A thought from the latest #PercyJackson watchparty w/ @seaweedbrainpod.bsky.social: Bianca is sister, Thalia is mother, & Zoë is the older cousin forced to babysit everyone else at family gatherings who now claims she raised you & knows you better than you know yourself. And that’s that on that.

This is your New Year’s reminder to always commit to the bit and start arguments in the group chat about preferred purveyors strawberry milkshake in the name of themed dinner for your watch party. It makes life worth living.

I have just spent an extended period of time tediously reconstructing accidentally unsaved notes on Frankenstein 2025 for a final essay, the frustration of which can only be made up for by the fact that an element of casting underscores a point that I had come up with completely independently. 🥳🥳🎊

We are entering an era of seeing how many (new) ways I can talk about Percy Jackson in graduate-level seminar discussions in the coming days. To my classmates: brace yourselves. Also, you should have seen this coming.

It was fantastic to see you, John. Talked with a friend over mapo tofu afterward, and the word community came up a lot. Invigorating and encouraging sounds about right.
Flying to my eighth city in seven days. I thought I'd be exhausted, but being in community right now is so invigorating and encouraging (despite the circumstances) that I feel pretty good. See you tonight, Iowa City!
