I’m about to log off for the night but I want to talk about #StarTrekProdigy so tell me about your favorite bits and I’ll reply tomorrow! (Replies may contain spoilers.) 🖖🏻📺💻

Want to read: They Drown Our Daughters by Katrina Monroe 📚

I have a cool idea. What if, in addition to having a mental health summit, the university committed time and money to improving mental health services - not just crisis services, but all of them?

M and I decorated some sugar cookies this evening.

If you’re a person who would be interested in a virtual co-working space for parents, could you kindly let me know? Thanks! (I’m thinking Discord or Gather for the platform.)

I should add: the space would be free unless the membership got so big an upgrade to the hosting would be required, in which case it would be run at cost.

Thanks to Jennifer Polk’s co-working session, I made big progress on a paper revision today. 📝

🔖 Lee Skallerup Bessette’s You Can Ask for Mental-Health Help, but Can You Find Any? is crucial reading. It hits extra hard in the wake of a clear mental health crisis at the school I graduated from (4 times). 🧠

M: Can we keep playing Breath of the Wild [pretend, not the video game]?

Me: Wait, we’re playing Breath of the Wild? Oops! I was playing Ocarina of Time.

Hello I am 40 will a local community theater please cast me as Mama Rose now kthx

This is a reminder that Brent Spiner’s book Fan Fiction, which I reviewed back in September, came out a few weeks ago & you can purchase it now! 📚🖖‍‍

I’ve got to remember to search parenting groups, not scroll. I just about had an anxiety attack reading about something that happened to somebody else’s kid. (The kid is fine but still.)

Also making a note to myself to write a full blog post about going to see my first community theater production in ages & how it made me feel.

Making a note to myself here to write a full blog post about Star Trek: The Next Generation 3x21, “Hollow Pursuits,” and the connection to the paper I’m currently revising about TRPGs & identity development. 🖖🏻

Next #FSNNA21 live-tweet: “Fans, Players and/or Users? Bridging Fan and Media Studies” Will post log to kimberlyhirsh.com.

I’ll be live-tweeting the #FSNNA21 panel “Digital Methods and Digital Fan Practices” in a few minutes and share the log at kimberlyhirsh.com after the session.

I set foot in a bookstore for the first time since the start of the pandemic today. I stood there, looking at everything, almost having a panic attack from giddiness, wanting to buy it all. W said he could smell the store on me when I got back in the car. 📚

Introducing my five-year-old to Sweeney Todd (original cast), as you do. 🎭🎵

I’m watching the season 1 finale of Star Trek Discovery and having L’Rell do the previously in Klingon is a nice touch. 🖖🏻

Extemely chuffed to announce that my first blog post written for @QuirkosSoftware, “A priori coding is A-OK!”, has gone live!

I don’t like how clear it is that we are living in the mirror universe and the primary Star Trek universe is not ours. At least, this is what Discovery has led me to believe. 🖖🏻

I may have been excessively affectively engaged in the conversation about Buffy fic writers’ responses to “Seeing Red.” I really don’t know how to not be “in my feels” when it comes to Buffy, esp. fan response.

Help I Read a Lower Decks Fanfic and Now I Resent All Other Activities: The Kimberly Hirsh Story 🖖🏻

Taking a break from livetweeting to just listen to the Participatory Culture Wars session at #FSNNA21.

Planning to use Noter Live to livetweet “The Money Question” at #FSNNA21. Will post all tweets to kimberlyhirsh.com after the session.

Well mirror universe stuff is very upsetting. 🖖🏻
