The chatgptification of academia… Write something incomprehensible! Write something that only sounds good orally! Write something that is bold and would get edited out and then fight peer reviewers about it!

I’ve been guilty of it too circa 2024 but I’m committed to fighting the famine of beauty in academic publishing from now on

It was really great! There were talks about emo video games and nostalgia, trans DBZ villains, and kawaii vs work culture memes. It's stimulating to hear academics talk very seriously about "silly" topics.

Dr. Aurélie Petit 👩🏻‍💻✨ @aurelievpetit.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We have talks about Nintendo and queer masculinities; queer and trans coded villains in DBZ; and anti work cute memes!!!!
