since i really don't use tumblr much anymore but want an excuse to make funny edits i am going to try to do this every month this year. here are 6 dril tweet edits summarizing my month. i read interview with the vampire for the first time, watched spring awakening (3 different versions oops!) for the first time, continued working on my romeo and juliet bullshit, restarted the l word, wrote and posted fic for the first time in years, and continued to decrease my presence online. i have lots of thoughts on all these things but idk man tumblr isn't the place for them. oh also i'm still not doing academic shit, just vibing. check out my actual blog or cohost if you want real content from me. anyway see you in february!

so i haven't deleted this account (an update)
I have spent the last few months primarily off This Website (and most others actually) thinking about impact, intent, and how using spaces like this impacts my own more personal or selfish goals. and my conclusion is this: i am going to stay on tumblr for some longer period of time until i find a viable alternative.
one of the major changes for me in the last 6 or so months has been the major reflection on my place in academia, the institution i work in and have been prepared to sculpt as an educator. and my resulting thoughts are that i do not want to be a part of it. im done with it and frankly the sooner i stop working in academia the better. my goals and beliefs are rooted in free education and resources for all independent researchers or just curious minds, but i won't wax poetic on the hellscape that is academia.
while i was gone i received a number of asks about how people were disappointed my research would be removed from the site and how it had positively impacted them. that is important, i spent months out of my year last year to argue at an academic conference just how important that exact thing was. and it feels hypocritical to leave and not help produce that valuable research.
the reality is that no company, no social media, and no institution values you over money. i will continue to produce free research, share some of my findings, and also share art or poetry or whatever fun things i can while i am here. i will ALSO continue to be outspoken on the state of this website and encourage everyone to divest from it in whatever ways they can.
i will not be regularly using this website or any other social media (aside from my cohost) but i will be sharing interesting things along the way. if you're still here and still reading this, thanks. this isn't a perfect solution in any way and it will continue to be imperfect but i am literally just one person trying to balance my harm and my good, both of which i am inherently creating by being a human living in a capitalist world. anyway palestine will be free in our lifetimes and i will continue to do everything i can to spread information and help provide resources for those willing to enact change in all of the world.

I have read your research posts for a while now and am really sad to see you deleting your blog. Would you ever consider leaving up the research archive? I understand why you are leaving I just think your research has been a really good resource.
Thank you, I have received some really kind messages about my research since sharing it and this is something I am considering. I feel so conflicted existing on this website but, at the same time, I am pulling out of academia either momentarily or permanently next year.
My view on my research as it fits in or out of academia is that I don't really care about academia's benefit of my work. Far and away the most meaningful responses and conversations I've ever had regarding my research have been with "regular" people just interested in the information and mostly on Tumblr. I have a lot of thoughts on this concept and how to move forward in it but the TLDR as it relates to this blog vs my website is... I haven't decided.
I may be revamping this blog to exist as a sole resource for my research work and just not exist on here as I have or I might still delete everything. I am actively considering this but also still navigating a lot of other factors. I will post an update when I decide though!

On the Future
Tumblr media
I have received sizeable interest in this project ironically as things surrounding it were breaking down. And I feel I owe you all an explanation as to what is happening now.
Firstly, unless something significantly changes I will no longer be pursuing this as my PhD work. I am not pursuing my PhD at all and I am leaving 4-year/university work in academia next year. While I still have a Hamlet adaptation I am writing with my spouse and plan to continue my research on this topic, I do not want to do so within the prison that is academia.
I will continue to publish papers and speak at conferences for now, though with less frequency I believe, while I figure out my best move for working on accessible education. I have concepts and ideas for publishing work through myself with other "academics" who want to break down these systems but that is not for the present moment.
If you want to keep up with any work surrounding that concept or otherwise you can follow my neocities which is here. You can also follow me on Cohost. You will not, however, be able to find me on Tumblr after Jan 1.
After the ever evolving racism, transphobia, and zionism (and by the staff itself) on this website I do not want to contribute to its existence any longer. I am leaving things up for now as I transition to my other website but I will not be here in 2024. If you want to ask me any questions about my future work, plans, or anything else you are welcome to do so until the blog is gone. I won't be online often but I will still check things as I pull things off of this website. I have enjoyed spreading my research, both Hamlet-centered and otherwise, with all of you. I hope to be able to do so in the future as well just... not on tumblr.

Okay it's time, here's my gtfo of Tumblr post
Since Tumblr was previously my most active social media website I figure I will make a proper post to pin about my move off-site. By Jan 1 this blog will be deleted entirely. If you want to find me elsewhere now is the time. Here's the list of places to find me and how often I'll be around them!
My new website! - This is hands down the easiest place to find me. I am creating my website from the ground up so it's a mess but in an endearing way. I've even made my first blog post here. This website will essentially function how my Tumblr previously did. I will post blogs about random things, add updates on projects, create and publish free educational resources, and more! I do not have an RSS (yet?) so the easiest way to follow me is via a neocities account.
Cohost - Of the many twitter alts out there I like cohost the best. I have fun with it, I'm slowly finding my feet there, and I think the vibes are generally good. I do not follow nearly enough folks yet so if you follow me here please let's be mutuals there! I plan to use it much like twitter with lots of one-off thoughts. I am only still on twitter to stay up to date with activism stuff so it's really not worth plugging my twitter now.
Instagram - This is one of the only "big" socials I am active on. It's best to follow me here for activism stuff, cooking, and art as those are basically the only things I post there. If you want to follow me on IG please DM me because I am selective with who I trust to follow me there as I post more IRL things there.
...and that's it! Unless another weird niche semi-old-internet vibe type thing comes out I will only be in those three places from now on. I have been a tumblr user with few breaks since 2008 across a variety of accounts and niches. I don't know that I ever thought I would leave tumblr "for good" but it's way past time. My work in activism will continue offline largely or in ways I'm not talking about here.
Since I won't have time or space to post it in the new year (and like only 2 IRLs follow me here) we are relocating to Oregon next year for probably our last major move ever unless we end up needing (and having the means lol) to leave the country. I am also leaving 4-year institution work which is very exciting for me. Our journey in moving, my journey in finding my place in alternative educational lenses, and more will be covered largely on my blog and in other places I'm sure. So if any of that interests you feel free to follow me off this website. I also have heard something about tumblr dying (again) which lol, lmao even. I truly don't care how true or not that is, please know my intention in leaving has nothing to do with that and has everything to do with being a marketable number for them.
In closing, fuck tumblr, fuck staff, fuck specifically the bitch who runs emporium and tricked all these kids into dumping funds into a website that hates them. Fuck zionists, fuck transphobes, fuck racists, fuck neoliberal apologists, and fuck anyone who is trying to shame you into shutting up about the lives of people who deserve to live. Also organize within your communities and find ways to disengage from the economy and create a better future.
My wish is that every oppressed nation of beautiful people will be free now and forever, that land goes back to who it belongs to, and that some day capitalism will not ruin art, community, and love the way it has on this website and across the world.

i am only taking so long because tumblr was my #1 educational format where i spread a lot of my research work so now i have to find a suitable alternative (probably just my own personal website tbh) so bear with me but while my account remains just know i am doing everything i can to make sure $0 of ad money, capital, etc can be gleaned by this hellsite from me
ETA: don't reblog this??? a couple people have and thats fucking weirdo behavior this is a notice for my account only like???
honestly with the information that the ceo of tumblr is an active zionist i no longer have interest is supporting the capital of this company. i will be deleting all accounts and blogs i have and will post alternate places to find me. i'll stay on for another 2-4 weeks while i archive posts and let people know where i'll be but overall i have no interest in this website
