Call me biased, but this was the coolest panel at the Hollywood Conference yesterday! 😜 I had the immense pleasure of getting to connect with fellow media studies scholars looking at contemporary superhero media, all in brilliant ways.

Not at #SCMS25 this year, unfortunately, but wishing all of my media studies friends and colleagues a wonderful time of scholarship and community in Chicago this week! Hope to see you all at #SCMS26.
(And for those heading to the Hollywood Conference in LA this summer, I'll see you in July!)

I haven't really posted about my music tastes on here just yet, but if you don't know me, I'm a huge fan of kpop girl groups.

Please meet Artemis, the black lab puppy my partner and I adopted after he was abandoned and ran straight into our lives FIVE WEEKS BEFORE MY DISS DEFENSE.
(Yes, he definitely added stress to my already stressful life. Yes, he was absolutely worth adopting—100%.) I mean, LOOK AT HIM.
