If anyone's at #SCMS you can come to the Optical Play panel tomorrow at 11am to play with my version of Shigeko Kubota's video chess (and see many other cool optical toys from Amanda Shubert and Meredith Bak)

I feel like my buddy Sarah’s DIY collage buttons would sell out at the #SCMS book expo

lmao remembering the old days when #scms did like a room raffle to get upgraded to a suite and @melisser3.bsky.social had a suite party but then security showed up (we too noisy) and we had to all go to the ballroom downstairs (???). #osgoode

Which is why it feels a little surreal to be in the middle of what might be my most productive stretch of writing yet. I am presenting research at both #MLA and #SCMS in the next six months, and I am finishing up three edited collections right now (one of them with two incredible co-editors).

Second time’s the charm for my Ripley paper! Sadly I will not be accompanied by all of the wonderful panelists I applied with last year, but I am glad to finally get to share my ideas on this. #scms #scms26

Thursday I came across a skeet(?) of some table of contents to someone’s collection or monograph that featured a chapter on P-Valley!

If you know what I’m talking about please share! My colleague and I are doing some writing on sexual labor and want to include this!!!

#SCMS #media #sexuality

so thrilled to have been able to present on fan cons as affective space in @butnocigar.bsky.social 's DePaul C2E2 class just before #SCMS- thanks so much for having little ol' me amongst an all star guest roster! The opportunity the DePaul students have to do on-site research @ #C2E2 is unparalleled

it was about time to create an academic social media- especially after meeting so many awesome academics at #scms! can't wait to subject more and more people to my incessant need to talk about fan conventions ↕️🙂

Great time in #Chicago presenting research from our forthcoming book on Collaborative Creativity in Film & TV for Routledge. @scmstudies.bsky.social #scms #scms2025

On my way home from #SCMS, and as I was walking toward the terminal, Andy Garcia tossed me a revolver, and I shot the first guy I saw wearing a fedora.

A huge thank you to @scmstudies.bsky.social for providing the resources necessary for this new mom to be able to attend and present some research. Gratitude all around. #scms #scms2025 #scms25
