Media studies prof in Rochester NY, studying digital culture and popular music and emotion🏳️‍🌈
Pinned
Hi, I’m Jenn. I’m a media studies prof and I teach and research social media and digital culture and ALSO popular music and emotion because my ADHD extends to my research agenda. Anti-racist. Queer. Believe in liberation for all. Mom to the worst-behaved reactive dog in the world.
Today is World IVF Day, and I want to share with you our daughter’s first ever photo💜

This was our one and only embryo, and we are going to meet her in September. This process is heartbreaking and impossibly beautiful and hopeful.

I want everyone to have the access and choices that we did.

The other day I was teaching about music as torture and showed images from Abu Ghraib. My students-too young or not born at the time-were shocked that this happened.

A reminder that one day we will all have to answer for the atrocities of our fellow Americans who were “just following orders.”

I really think he saw "The Atlantic" and thought he was the guy in change of the ocean and so should be involved

For all of us who teach digital culture/media and tech and have to stand in front of a classroom of undergrads and refer to an important political player as “Big Balls,” we pray.

Has anyone written a think piece yet about how the war secrets text chain was really just a cry for help in the male loneliness epidemic

I have a theory that “The Giver” was automatically downloaded directly into the head of every queer lady, much like the U2 album and our iPhones, because why can I not stop singing it for the love of god

You complained last Monday that the time change was kicking your ass, I’m here complaining a whole week later that the time change is STILL kicking my ass. We are not the same (unless we are in which case can we cry together about this?)
