Okay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:

A more challenging question can be asked: If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership? It’s the old chicken-and-egg dilemma. The audience won’t emerge because the product isn’t there, and the product isn’t there because the audience is elsewhere. Men, obviously, can read and enjoy books by women, but there is the sticky biological reality that, on balance, women will probably prefer reading women, and men may prefer reading men. Boys, especially, seem to long for male teachers and role models in the classroom. As they age, and if they want to read, they might be drawn to the fiction of writers like Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and McMurtry. They might want literature that, at the bare minimum, seems masculine.

Join the Cinema Worms for our short review of VERITY 🩸👩‍🦽📚 a film in which a comatose Anne Hathaway outacts a non-comatose Dakota Johnson in every single scene, even ones she's not in. I saw this the night before my PhD viva because apparently I wasn't already suffering enough.

Now that I have a 'Sheila Ferguson' (three degrees—and yes, my dad made that joke yesterday) I feel mostly-qualified to say that if you're interested in developing your craft as a writer, or even a reader curious about the behind-the-scenes process of creating a story, my craft anthology is great!

Ooooo! I am entranced by this one. It makes me think about how if you take apart almost any sentence you'll find that almost EVERYTHING in it is abstract. Language is endlessly fascinating.

I learned another new word this week! Polysemy is a single word capable of meaning multiple distinct but related things (a human foot, the foot of a mountain, etc). This is different from a homonym, where two words sound identical but refer to different things (eg, a vampire bat, a baseball bat).

You can buy this at other bookstores, but if you purchase directly from the publisher @stanchion.bsky.social at the link above, they're doing a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal right now! It's a genuinely delightful collection of stories, each penned collaboratively with a different author.

Deeply excited to have a full day off today, post-viva (and post-several other projects I handed in last week! busy times). My plans include cat, couch, more cat, and Expedition 33 before dinner and a film with my wife ❤️ It feels like Christmas, lol. I should probably take more days off now.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

About half an hour ago, I passed my viva and became Dr Lindz McLeod. I don't post a lot of selfies but this is the slightly teary face of someone who busted their butt for three years (while working! while writing multiple other books!) to earn this degree.

A white person with blonde hair and round glasses smiles at the camera with teary eyes. They are wearing a brown satin shirt. The wall behind them is a peaceful sage green.
