Going Postal would be a way more valuable standard HS text than Gatsby, and I become more convinced of this every day.

Alright #PCA2026: one last preview! I've posted about the talks in the 1:15 panel; at 11:30, we have a roundtable featuring instructor, intern, and student perspectives on a fan fiction class as resistant queer space. You know you want to hear about a class where these were the discussion groups:

This panel comes right after a paired roundtable on a fanfiction class in a red state, which I'll post one last preview for, first thing tomorrow ❤️

Rebecca Quoss-Moore @rmquossmoore.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

This panel is paired with a roundtable, Fan Studies XII, on queer pedagogy, hope, and resistance, just before at 11:30

A slide, with a backdrop of art from Final Fantasy XIV, that reads "Writing a Self-Insert Fic is Still Terrifying"

In the middle, let me also rec LGBTQ Studies V on Friday, with great papers on different angles and issues of rep in queer media.

Rebecca Quoss-Moore @rmquossmoore.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Wrap up your Saturday with two paired sessions—Fan Studies XII and XIII. The first is a roundtable on how and why to teach a fanfiction class; the second will feature queer and trans studies papers. (What if Edelman and Muñoz’s debates on queer futurity were a fic? Come find out!)

Rebecca Quoss-Moore @rmquossmoore.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Heading to #PCA2026 and putting together your schedule? I know where you should start and end! First thing tomorrow, catch Game Studies I for a killer lineup that includes Brandon Westfall’s great arguments on the queer erasures of playersexuality.

An articulation of a thing that bothers me has emerged from my mid-term grading marathon: Some students think that the point of assignments is to show (off) what they KNOW, when what I want is to see what they’ve LEARNED. Only took me 16 years to name, but will be useful going forward!

love when medieval texts use words that aren’t always as tied to gendered/sexed embodiment in ME as they are in modern English. tell me more about the Green Knight’s womb or the male dragon’s womb or maidens marrying maidens, I’m imagining beautiful trans and queer medieval worlds in my mind

The work on “Q” in Masten’s Queer Philologies, but also: it’s broader and more of a popular history, but I really love how Rubenhold’s The Five rethinks the historiography of the women killed by Jack the Ripper.

Acknowledging that, like, by definition all scams are scummy, the near-daily spam texts I am getting about “jobs” feels…just particularly scummy in this moment. Taking advantage of people who are desperate for work while all their options are being actively eroded…gross, gross, gross.

May I share with you the small joy that was my dog’s report card from daycare today? (Bonus content: the name of the last dog on her friends list.)

An image of a doggy daycare report, reading “Pocket was extremely resourceful and hid fully under our play equipment in an attempt to be forgotten before her bath! Unfortunately, the counselor is a hide and seek champion, and Pocket was retrieved for her bath, despite it all!”
A list of other dogs is at the end of the report, with the last one reading “Mistletoe (The Missile.”

More people voted for Kamala in Texas (4.8 million votes) and in Florida (4.7 million) than in New York State (4.6 million). California had nearly the same number of Trump '24 voters (6.08 million) as Florida (6.11 million), and had only 300k less than Texas. Does anyone else see the problem here?

I said, basically, harass your blue state representatives. Push them left. Their work is often our best shot at retaining rights and staying safe. And the person who had first asked kind of went “oh, well, I don’t think I have to worry about them.” And other auditors sort of nodded/agreed.

Rebecca Quoss-Moore @rmquossmoore.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

A couple years ago, I was in a workshop at SAA on using Shakespeare in times of political unrest. And as we moved to including the auditors, someone asked what they could do to support those of us who had done the workshop, almost all of whom worked in red states.
