tidsskrift.dk/mediekultur/... New article alert! Working with dope people like @stephorme.bsky.social and our fearless leader Emory (not on Bluesky?). We interviewed streamers to talk about how THEY perceive parasocial relationships. Check it out y'all!

Now the #ica25 decisions have been communicated, it is time to think about pre/post conferences. Consider submitting to our pre-conference "Media, Trust & Technology". All info: mediated-trust-arts.sydney.edu.au/event/ica-20...

Congrats to those accepted at ICA (and regrets to those who weren't...we feel you.) FYI, the 4th CreatorCon, an ICA pre-conference to be held at the University of Boulder dedicated to platform, creator, wanghong, and influencer studies is still taking submissions until 1 Feb. www.ccsn.site/ica

This is important

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

Hey did you know ☝🏼 that leaving your favorite creator or artist a 5-star review, sharing their work, writing kind comments, and/or telling them to their face is an ✨absolutely free✨ way to help them start the New Year off right!

Bro who wants this? Social media is for your friends, right? Wild

The one thing I miss about Twitter is the huge variance I had in my feed. I had LSU football stuff, academic stuff, video game and tabletop stuff…it’ll take time to get back to where I was

Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die. (Cont)

Yoooo my story Florida Man got in the top 16 in the true crime genre of this edition of Writing Battle. I was super proud of this story and am really proud of the outcome too. Best I’ve done in Writing Battle in a while

My goal for my next book: world building. I want that world to feel more lived in!

*sigh* Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part. There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work. Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

If you’ll be shopping for any furniture/decor over the holidays, check out spoken.io - a revenge project that catches brand name retailers like West Elm whitelabeling stuff you can get for much less at budget sites like Wayfair/Amazon (I mostly use it to avoid buying Wayfair-quality junk)

If you'd like to publish your book without enriching four entities that emerged from the bio-jelly of a thousand pulped tech-bros, you could scan this writeup I put together on self publishing Legends & Lattes, which cost less than 5k and involved human artists and editors medium.com/@travisbaldr...

Academic friends: have your department fly me out for a talk! I just want to visit other peoples campuses. I don’t know why, I like visiting campuses like I’m about to go to college for the first time

Man food poisoning is really the worst. The actual poison purge has been over for days but I feel like a brand new baby chicken still. If you saw me at the gym today, it was pure comedy

Some days, I feel more like an academic. Some days, I feel more like a creative. Today, I feel like a creative.

I love that all my academic friends are joining Bluesky but I need everybody to be more funny. More gifs plz
