Notes
The world is very dismal and I am heartbroken, but my husband is on a meeting talking to people about how he was in A Midsummer Night’s Dream twice. I really love him very much.
Me “well actually"ing last week’s Fansplaining in the car on the way to pick my kid up: “But Elizabeth the ‘In sleep he sang to me’ part is really low, even lower than you sang it. It gets obnoxiously high later.'” 🎙️🎵🎭👻👩🏻🏫
I have extreme MCU fatigue so I’m only going to watch the stuff clearly and closely inspired by comics I’ve actually read and enjoyed. 🍿📺🗯️
I love a good slice-of-life story but the constant interruptions to Worf’s work once his son Alexander boards the Enterprise in the episode “New Ground” are far too real.🖖🏻📺
Apparently crows can do metacognition.
Symposium’s over, it’s 90F outside. Time for a wardrobe change! [Image description: A white woman with dark hair wears a black tank top with the Sheikah eye from The Legend of Zelda and black shorts with a popsicle 0rint.]

So far my favorite outcome of #FanLIS2022 is another attendee asking me if I’m sure I’m not Caitlin Doughty.

🔖 Read Durham GOP’s “Better Board, Better Schools” candidate slate is soundly defeated.
What a relief.
Week 3 of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds and there are already 189 works on AO3. Looking forward to discovering new favorite creators. 🖖🏻
There are a lot of great things about attending a conference from home. Still, it’s a bit sad not to be able to go hide in a hotel room and let all the new ideas roll around while disconnected from your usual responsibilities.
Definitely just brainstormed the paper title “Screw General Order One: Representing Positionality as an Insider When Doing Fan Studies Research.” #FanLIS2022
Missed a huge chunk of the current #FanLIS2022 paper due to Zoom crash & also lost my NoterLive log because I didn’t think to post it before rebooting.
Gonna be live-posting #FanLIS2022 today & tomorrow. Will transition to LiveNoter in an hour and a half but posting through Micro.blog until I’m done taking my kid to school.
I’m adding things to it slowly, but I’ve created a Connected Learning page curating my notes, memos, and blog posts on this topic. I have so much more to add.

“she said she often distrusts that other people will take care of things. ‘That’s why I tend to step up and do it myself.'”
Next time I take it into my head that words won’t come out of me in written form, I’m going to re-read this 2018 blog post in which I calculated that I wrote 98,000 words in the first 5 semesters of my doctoral program.
Stole a quote from the woodland goth page of Aesthetics wiki for my bio/tagline: “…a hybrid of fey imagery, Glam Rock glitter, and the lighter side of 80s Goth.”
