Dolly taught me a lot about Appalachia, the region I spent all of my 20s in. This is my favorite clip of her. youtu.be/6wsToL30-RE

What is an index, and why is it important? An index is a map; it makes the information in books accessible to readers. It gives a sense of the coverage of the book, and whether it contains the information you need. And you can go back after reading to find what you want #IndexDay buff.ly/LMIHOqs

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

I had the pleasure of working with Clare on both of these books. They are each stunning in their own way. Anyone interested in arts criticism, feminism, and writing should pick up copies of both!

in an effort to finally leave The Other Platform, working to connect with more folks here 👋 i'm a professional academic editor and indexer with a background in performance studies. currently in belgrade, serbia. best thing i did in 2024 was finally get a dog. she has improved my life immeasurably.

a small brown, black, and white long-haired dog sits on a sidewalk. she has an orange leash and fuzzy ears.
