Currently in Hong Kong and learned that the Chinese translation of my live streaming book has come out 😊 Have not seen it firsthand (yet?) but learned it's available through the usual online sellers fwiw.

Back in Orlando for Halcy-Con. Have I mentioned how fun fieldwork has been for this project on play in theme parks? 🤩 Assuming my role of intergalactic ethnographer means I’ll be dressing up again.❤️ the fantastic toy thermal print camera I’ve added to my gear (with some Aurebesh customization 😉)

Fellow internet studies friends: fascinating right now to listen in/watch on the platform itself as the SC debates the TikTok ban. Looking forward to reading future work on this!

Amazing peaceful day at the MIT encampment full of songs and conversations. Students, staff, and faculty alike ❤️

closest yet! (yesterday sold out pre-sales so back in line today)

Figured I'd add Disney's D23 to my fieldwork sites this year. Forgot how competitive attending some fan events are (who is writing on this? We are in such a "fan boom" period!). 🤞

Didion in 1979 (The White Album). I feel this often in our strange world 🫥

some attendance #s for the big parks globally in 2022 fwiw

at the airport heading home after quite a week at IAAPA and the parks. how do I sum it up? it was def a lot more fun than GDC! 😆 (more pics over at my Insta: instagram.com/ybikapix

first time at IAAPA. ethnographer hat on 😉 (ofc this session is full so i’m standing outside hoping for a space. even that is data lol)
