Staying away from social media has been good self-care for me. By all means, if it makes you happy, stay on. But don't feel you have to linger in order to network, learn, or find friends. There are so many healthier ways to do that. Putting a pause on this. Email is fine.

First review - and the nicest one possible!

Haven’t posted in a while, so I’m wondering who’s all still here? This happened over the last three days, and I had the urge to share. Do let me know if it catches your eye!

Delighted that this is finally out! Thanks to all our wonderful contributors (tagged below) and my absolute star of a co-editor Nana Osei-Opare. And to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding our first workshop & UK Research and Innovation & Rice University for making it Open Access!

Evidently, the leader of the free world now is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Bro, did you write this? We all saw you. You tried to shrink in your chair. You looked at Trump like he was some crazy ass pops who was embarrassing you on your first date. Don’t bullshit us. Grow a pair.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
