Just found out about Hank Thigpen and their queer core work in Tally. Trying so so so hard not to get distracted right now.

Zine-search but it’s obvious who was writing the zines back in the 90s really did NOT like those who are astrologically aquarian

Studied at the IASL library here at Illinois for the first time ever! Also started actually collecting data instead of spending time being stressed about how I need to collect data. Progress is progress is progress?

The nice thing about second hand books is weirdly feeling like I’m in conversation with the previous owner. I keep getting annoyed on why they underlined certain parts but not other ones. Foucault is one of the best to ever do it so maybe I would only be happy if everything were underlined…

<<narrows eyes intensely>> Why did I request this book from ILL?

Currently having a moment where reading boring books all day sounded a lot more doable over break when I had 16 hours of free time everyday . Unrelated: just picked up a hold

spent 4 hours on a fellowship application but 3 of those were somehow troubleshooting issues with Microsoft Word. Trying to figure out if this will just be the rest of my life in academia.

Made quick mini zine about my feelings about the development about my work. Had to cut out most of my thoughts which means a fancier folio version is coming in the future.

day ???1 // doing a serious reading of the Kienle Ray Johnson book for the first time. Feel like I’m getting further and further away from my actual research topic as evidenced by me putting a hold on the Derrida Postcards book 5 minutes ago.
