It feels weird to start a blog with all the shit going down. Writing feels particularly useless right now. Like–maybe I should have studied Spanish or been a lawyer. Something concrete. Instead, I’m sitting in Nevada, writing in a cabin, and collecting rejection letters. Yep, lot of good I’m doing right now.
This blog will probably contain a lot of seeds. Bits of ideas I want to turn into future papers, teaching struggles, themes I’m working out in fiction, things I fangirl over. I often don’t know what I truly think about a subject until I write about it. So here’s a little space for that which doesn’t feel quite as empty as scribbling in my notebook because I’m building a platform and a social media presence (lul).
Some upcoming topics of discussion:
- Logan, queerness, and ecology
- My next syllabus
- Masculinity in Battlestar Galactica
- FEELINGS about Battlestar Galactica (there’s going to be a lot about BSG)
- Why Nevada loves Johnny Cash
- Books and more books
Stay tuned, y’all.
