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.

And I haven’t forgotten about you, critics who are doing your “they’re reading it wrong” pieces.

Would love to. It was frankly illuminating to see how basic journalistic understanding of fan culture regressed several decades just because we were discussing a prestige drama.

My annoyance is more directed at the fact that these are STILL the fandom takes in THIS THE YEAR 2026 across the board. The premise of all these Pitt think pieces (and thus the line of questioning) was absolutely confounding.

And no real shade to this Variety reporter who actually did seek out fan scholars to interview and listened to me even when I sent a somewhat salty email reply about these trend pieces before agreeing to this interview.

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.

Y’all when I have properly calmed down I will tell the harrowing tale of my various Pitt interviews last week in a proper thread. I somehow managed not to scream at anyone even when being asked things like “is fans being critical a new thing?”

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!

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!

Conversely, just this week, a friend who does not like Shrek noted that they purchased a nail polish from a licensed tie in line (likely #colourpop, who makes a ton of these) because they loved the color.

Cut to San Diego Comic-con 2016, where there was a full MAC activation/pop up shop to show off their new Star Trek line. I remember wishing I liked the color of the “Khaaaaaaaan!” nail polish better.
