Not sure I'm ready for another platform but let's see.
Theme park play research these days (yup, Disney).
tltaylor.com (links to most of my work, inc books, that are OA) & instagram.com/ybikapix (for the fun stuff!)
Back in Orlando for Halcy-Con. Have I mentioned how fun fieldwork has been for this project on play in theme parks? 🤩 Assuming my role of intergalactic ethnographer means I’ll be dressing up again.❤️ the fantastic toy thermal print camera I’ve added to my gear (with some Aurebesh customization 😉)

Fellow internet studies friends: fascinating right now to listen in/watch on the platform itself as the SC debates the TikTok ban. Looking forward to reading future work on this!

Amazing peaceful day at the MIT encampment full of songs and conversations. Students, staff, and faculty alike ❤️

Figured I'd add Disney's D23 to my fieldwork sites this year. Forgot how competitive attending some fan events are (who is writing on this? We are in such a "fan boom" period!). 🤞

Didion in 1979 (The White Album). I feel this often in our strange world 🫥
