On digital hiatus through August 26th. See y’all later!
Is metascholarship a thing? Like, a field of study? Sometimes (often) I find myself more interested in research design and writing processes than in, y’know, research itself.
I can cook all manner of foods, fashion clothing from yarn or fabric and thread, build furniture, and make props, but I can’t for the life of me make anything recognizable using a 3Doodler.
I need a t-shirt that says 50% Jo/50% Meg.
I ran across Dr. Naomi Civins’s dissertation while citation chaining works about connective ethnography, via Google Scholar. I read the title and thought, “Wait, that’s me! I’m a Domain Grrl!” Then I checked the text for a definition to be sure:
“Domain Grrls were girls who created personal homepages during the late 1990s and early 2000s and built meaningful social relationships in the process.”
Yes, that’s me!
Based on some quick research, Dr. Civins’s coined term “Domain Grrl” hasn’t had broad reach, which kind of makes sense because Domain Grrls aren’t really a thing anymore and she didn’t coin it until 2016. But I’m excited to read her dissertation later.
Hormones have got my brain going “Understanding cyberethnographic redefinitions of traditional ethnographic methodological concerns? NOT TODAY, KIMBERLY!” So it’s a citation-chaining kinda day, I guess.
My kid loves to know who’s singing the music we’re listening to so this morning when he asked who sings “Everything Is Awesome!” I told him @teganandsara and @thelonelyisland. He asked, “Is The Lonely Island lonely?” and I said, “I don’t think so, because it’s three friends.” Then he said, “What do they do?” and I tried to explain fake emcees to my toddler.
Kid at library (playing at train table): It’s Utopia! It’s disaster!
Librarian: But utopia is a good thing!
Kid: No it’s not! It’s evil!
Me: is impressed by kid’s perceptiveness
The longer I live, the more I begin to believe that My Actual People are only a very small subset of any apparent group of My People.
