If I had another lifetime's worth of time, I would simply become a radical library activist/archivist. I would spend all of my time asking for more funding for the only place in a city where you can read/learn/borrow art/books/things for free. Or maybe I could still be this person 🤔

Project alert: I've been working at an online/hybrid Reading Group project at @gapsnet.bsky.social for a while so that (ECR) academics can read, work, and collaborate with each other. Feel free to drop in or send the link to a friend who might want to join! Thank you :) g-a-p-s.net/reading-grou...

Does anyone write online anymore? I am trying to find ways of making myself commit to things by writing online. Most of all, I want to read other humanities scholars who are also documenting their work online, in a slow manner. Here's to starting over. www.priyamgoswami.com/an-annual-up...

Happy to report that I survived my Thesis Offence™ with loads of caffeine and good wishes.
