Need a break from today's political news? Have you tried thinking about cancer? This isn't the most fun post--mostly me documenting all the self-experimentation I'm doing just trying to improve breathing, sleep, and swallowing. superbon.net/2025/01/20/2...

As promised, the story of 2024. It begins in December 2023, when, after an ice storm, the trees of Montreal are covered a beautiful sheen of ice. That morning, I sign off as a committee member on a thesis proposal critiquing environmentalists' overemphasis on trees. (1/)

hello friends. People have been kind enough to include me in starter packs, so I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Jonathan. I love cats! I'm disabled. My day job is professor at McGill University where I study the things listed in my profile. I also play music and make sound art. 1/

Did my starter packs today. Disabled writers but no disabled artists and/or musicians? And media studies is bewildering (I am maybe being picky) and there is no Science and Technology Studies starter pack yet. C'est la vie. At least there's a sound studies starter pack.

So this is going to be a thing now for academics? I'll give it another try.

I just got an email with the subject heading “MRF LOI Advanced to Stage 2” and I couldn’t tell if someone was writing me about their cancer or a grant application. (It was the latter.)

In "The Bars Are Ours," Lucas Hilderbrand offers a panoramic history of gay bars, showing how they served as the medium for queer communities, politics, and cultures. Read the introduction for free on our website now. ow.ly/PGgV50PL6V7

Cover of The Bars Are Ours: Histories and Cultures of Gay Bars in America,1960 and After by Lucas Hilderbrand. Cover is a painting of nine men crowded together in the red and blue lights of a club or bar. Each man is shown from the torso up, all are muscular, with smiles but indistinct eyes. Some sport earings, cowboy hats, and styled moustaches, and one wears a mohawk.

Shocking news of the day: 25% of students surveyed in my Zoom class said they were nostalgic for Zoom classes. I am amazed that it was that high. I am not nostalgic and expect to resume in person on Tuesday now that my Covid seems be abating.

TFW when you're sitting in the pharmacy waiting to talk to the pharmacist, silently cursing the place, and composing a promotion letter full of superlatives in your head for someone, all at the same time.
