Kimberly Hirsh Presents: Things of Bronze - Witch
I’m experimenting with podcasting about whatever I want. Here’s episode 2 of my Buffy podcast, Things of Bronze. This is episode 2, “Witch.” Or is it episode 3? IS IT TWO OR THREE? I know what Wikipedia says, but what do you think?
M & I have been watching Netflix’s Bookmarks today. Grace Byers’s I AM ENOUGH is so beautiful and joyful. He asked to watch Lupita Nyong’o’s SULWE again immediately. He loves the part about the sisters Day and Night.
If #FSNNA20 were a meatspace conference and I was there, I would not be berating myself for not dissertating right now. But here we are…
Just added a note to include as a limitation in my dissertation that my methods don’t capture things like fans learning which fan spaces are safe, which cosplay suppliers are harmful, thanks to Liz Laurie’s talk in the Embodied Fandom salon at #FSNNA20.
Dreamed this morning I was at my co-working space w/Glen Weldon (@ghweldon) & he would not stop talking about Batman. I was like “This is fascinating but I have GOT to get some work done.” Woke up & remembered I’d fallen asleep listening to the audiobook of The Caped Crusade.
Portrait of an awesome life partnership: you get the kid down to sleep and then chat in the #FSNNA20 Discord while your partner watches Annotated Castlevania Symphony of the Night YouTube videos. Lots is wrong in the world but this family of mine is just right.
Pleased as can be to be hanging out @ #FSNNA20 this week. You can find me in Discord primarily hanging out in #15-hirsh where you’ll find my poster, “Where’d You Get Those Nightcrawler Hands? The Information Literacy Practices of Cosplayers.” But also elsewhere! Say hi!
Is anybody out there managing to be even mediocre at both parenting & working right now? Because I seem to have to choose to be okay at one and bad at the other, or bad at both, but not okay at both. (When I manage good at one it knocks me out for twice as long as I was good )
