This January I signed a book contract to work w. Courtney Berger at Duke University Press to publish my book manuscript, Unmediating: A Trans Media History, w. the ASTERISK trans studies book series. I’m posting now to say, exhaustedly, delightedly, that I have finished & submitted my book revisions

Hey it’s me! Join me during the @romchip.bsky.social Twitch Fundraider on February 21st from 1-2pm EST! I’ll be playing through selections from the Trans Games Zine Project and maybe you’ll even see a build of my own game, LUNGS, that will be released on transgameszine.org later this year 👀

In this thread: I’ll be playing through selections from the Trans Games Zine Project (transgameszine.org) on Saturday, February 21 from 1-2pm for the @romchip.bsky.social Twitch Fundraiser! Come join me (and maybe even see a build of my game, LUNGS, that’ll be up on the TGZ website later this year)!

Boosting this signal!! I have a Bally Astrocade from the late 70s / early 80s and the ROMchip team is trying to figure out how to hook it up to tech for so that I can stream live glitch art for the @romchip.bsky.social fundraiser! Thanks to @lainenooney.bsky.social and team for troubleshooting!

Huge congratulations to @haimson.bsky.social and his new book Trans Technologies!! So glad we could make it to his book launch event with Briar Baron at Bluestockings this past weekend — Oliver, I’m so looking forward to reading and teaching from your book now and for many years to come. 🥳 🎉 💜

I am very much a min-maxing person when it comes to my own labor and I find that it’s hard for me to stop & rest after I get into the writing process — as if I need to be working to complete exhaustion each day. Working on being kind to myself and setting a firm stopping point after so many hours 🪴

One thing I have learned while writing this book is that the act of writing is transformative and the book ends up being often more ambitious than the book proposal (a good thing!). I learned a similar thing in my PhD and how my dissertation opened up so much from the dissertation proposal

T-minus less than 2 months (give or take!) to completing and submitting my book manuscript. Aiming to submit things in February — just working on putting in the hours each day. Today I’m working on finishing up my chapter on the connected histories of computational and biological determinism

I was invited to serve as a Critic in Residence at the International Studio & Curatorial Program this winter — it’s been lovely speaking with the artists in residence about their art practice and the ideas they’re thinking through in their work. Many thanks to Melinda Lang and ISCP for inviting me.
