Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 17/09/2026So I’ve been out in charge (temporarily) of my college’s archives and special Collections. I know a lot of folks use the language of “archive” metaphorically but I find myself in a very literal position! 010

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Looking @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social and realized my book is listed thrice!

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I’m working through Jayna Brown’s idea of utopia without hope right now since it seems the inverse of my dystopia with hope. And her spatializing reading of Ernst Bloch is very interesting to me. I’m going to order hope draped in black right now as I’m working out from Muñoz into something else. 000

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Though I largely eschew meloncholia as an affective lens - though I sometimes think of disgust - it’s interesting to me that my emergent impulse right now is “dystopian hope” - which is eerily close to what you have in your conclusion. 120
Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 28/07/2026More than one scholar stating that something is clearly seen in the manuscripts. I order a photographic copy of the manuscripts in question. Uh… yeah … so easy to see anything … in this minuscule scrawl 030

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I was reading the description of the series and I don’t have anything on that right now but I have an emergent impulse in some of my newest writings that might be relevant if I ponder it more on “dystopian hope” in ways inspired by Muñoz, Tavia Nyong’o, and more and more by Octavia Butler. 000

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I am learning a new language this summer. My supervisor looked at me studying it one day and said that it’s different now (in my forties rather than when I learned most of my ancient languages in my 20s) because less brain plasticity. I retorted: this is how I maintain brain plasticity! 130

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Benediction: on this final day of pride, may you be blessed by being or knowing a queer or trans person, who reflect the image of god not despite being queer or trans but because they are queer and trans. In the name of the Nonbinary Parent, the Transgender Son, and the Genderfluid Spirit. Amen. 031
Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 30/06/2026On this day of all days I will turn in this manuscript for peer review. Biological sex is variable (intersex folks prove this) and mutable (trans folks prove this). It has always been so and always will be. Those who say it binary and immutable ignore evidence in their extreme gender ideology. 0101
Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Ok I was told my max word count is 80,000 for my book manuscript, including notes and bibliography. Current count is: 76,714. Woot! 040
Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Working on final edits of my book manuscript before turning it for peer review - it is due July 1. So far I cite three films in my discussion of ancient texts: Jurassic Park, Bull Durham, and Barbie. Pretty sure I can sneak in Dogma. 020

Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I’m only thinking about it now because Brian Britt in a private communication recently challenged me to rethink my previous work on Moses. And, yeah, Exodus 34 is where I’m starting my rethinking of an encounter that transes boundaries of divine (shiny), animal (horns), and gender (veil). 020
Jaeda the Fabulous @jaedarising.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I also avoided Moses’s transformation and veiling in my book on Moses. So now I’m wondering why I avoided exodus 34 in my previous book (on Moses) and until now in my current book (on posthuman transformations) where the episode is fairly perfect for my approach? 120
