This is a library that is also a theater. I want to go to there.

Sent off my methodology chapter today. It only needed a little revision, mostly moving stuff from it to findings. Started working on findings & it’s the big one for sure.
Renee Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler) sings the theme song for the new Muppet Babies. This makes me very happy.
I’m actually enjoying messing around on the Internet for a while and some water started leaking out of my eyes. Are these tears of joy?
Hello! I’m Kimberly Hirsh and I just sent a theory chapter off to my advisor. You should be proud of me. I am.
If you love beautiful writing with a wistful vibe, you should be reading Jess Zimmerman’s Dead Channel. The latest issue talks about the erosion of physical third places during the pandemic.
🔖 Y’all, Sir Ian McKellen has been blogging about his work since he started working on “X-Men” in 1999 & I love his writing.
🔖 Go read what Tim Carmody has to say about two songs from “The Muppet Movie”. I’m hoping to be able to write a detailed response but for now I’ll just say it’s beautiful and it resonates with me deeply.
“Wellness” day #1: Wrote ~1700 words for my dissertation, outlined the methods section for an article. Maybe time to get a breath of fresh air and do something fun. (Limiting anxiety attacks from undone work counts as a wellness, activity okay?)
Here are some things I’m not interested in:

🔖 The spellbinding history of cheese and witchcraft is the witchy content I didn’t know I needed. 🧙♀️🧀
I’m so psyched to read all the articles fan studies scholars are going to write about #DeanCasWedding.
Doing more lurking/replying than posting rn. I’ve blocked Twitter on my phone. It redirects me to Austin Kleon’s How to Read More post. I do enjoy book & Trek & ac/alt-ac talk tho so I will still visit on my laptop a bit & will link to my long blog posts.

I added >1000 words to the theory chapter of my dissertation today. I’ve still a ways to go, but it’s nice to see such progress.
One option the New York Times didn’t mention in their piece about keeping a digital commonplace book: doing it on your own website.
It was kind of fun to see one of my drama professors from undergrad in M. L. Rio’s acknowledgements for If We Were Villains. Plus two actors I helped every night in a production of Art.
Finished reading: If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio 📚
This deep-dive into fans reverse-engineering knitwear like Bernie’s mittens & the fourth Doctor’s scarf sits at the center of a Venn diagram of two of my interests, fandom & textiles. I love it.
Jess Zimmerman’s latest Dead Channel compares the old Internet to Faerie & tackles what it means to know someone’s handle. It resonated especially with me bc when I recently said “I’m Kiba” to someone I know outside of fandom, she said, “YOU’RE Kiba?”
Got about 500 words written today. Hoping to go faster moving forward. I slept poorly last night and woke up about every 2 hours. I had a pretty good day for such an underslept person.
I’ve been low-key reading all the tie-in comics for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order. Most are skippable, but Zombies Assemble is fun. I’m using MCU Reading Order & Marvel Unlimited to help me track them down. 🗯
