Despite my post-SDCC excitement over the Jonsson casting news, the rest of the MCU strategy seems to be forever reheating nachos and assuming nerds will slop up whatever they’re given. (Yeah, I’m livid about the Wonder Man season 2 cancellation after the pickup.)

Watching series final of Taskmaster. Furious at the disrespect shown to Patatas the Cat.

First post in a month and it’s to say that every time I see Kenzie on #loveislandusa all I can see is Cath from Deadloch. You’re welcome, max 3 people who will understand this post.

This whole thread and not just because it’s kind to me! I will at some point actually write up some thoughts on being interviewed for this click bait cycle by various outlets. It was…not great.

I am officially writing an article about Alamo Drafthouse (anti-)fandom and their buyout and anti-labor policies in the broader context of media consolidation. If you are a fan of the drafthouse, current or present employee, etc and you would be interested in speaking about this, please reach out!

Once America's most promising movie theater chain, the Alamo Drafthouse has become a QR-coded symbol of corporate enshittification.

Has a line made me laugh harder than Abdul-Mateen II saying “but he’s his only frieeend” this year? No. #wonderman

This is the take.

I’m just going to say it: Halloween stores have officially gotten too scary to safely walk through.

Oh look, another “All fans of (insert franchise) are dudes” clickbait article has dropped, which means it’s time to give away a couple of copies of my book “Fake Geek Girls: Fandom, Gender, and the Convergence Culture Industry.” Comment below if you would like to be entered into this raffle!

Not me getting misty at 10:22pm on a Wednesday at the amount of times the word "joy" is coming up in my fan studies research these days. Really needed right now, sending some your way.

In 2013 I vividly remember seeing this ad as part of the Cover Girl “capitol collection” tied to Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Something distinctly/appropriately dystopian about giving the coal mining district a smoky eye.

Lloyd Kaufman of Troma just name checked Stan Brakhage. I may have been the only person in a room full of 6k people to woo at this. Also, fully going to see this Toxic Avenger reboot it seems like a damn delight.

Having just written a page and a half trying to explain the Tiff/Tilly symbiosis across the franchise, I appreciate this.

SW fans take carry a quote with them and mine with henceforth be “the only special thing about me is luck and I’ve overplayed my hand already”

Yup. Exactly my experience with a recent publisher, which I will never be working with again based on my experience. More disheartening than these cost cutting moves is the absolutely lack of understanding or action from the press/editors.

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..

I am going to become the Joker.

Blumhouse, the horror studio, teamed with Meta to experiment with a technology called Movie Mate. It’s a chatbot that encourages people to use their phones as they watch films in movie theaters.

Please take this online survey to help me understand how media fans feel about the use of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc), both in general and for works like #fanfiction and #fanart. #fanstudies Share with anyone who might be interested! ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Dear @fanstudies.bsky.social @scmsfaas.bsky.social community: myself, @bookdal.bsky.social, and Jessica Hautsch are working on a taxonomy of fandoms, and we'd like to get as much feedback as possible on it. We are thinking of hosting a virtual workshop on this topic. Would anyone be interested?
