Ingrid Burrington @ingrid@everything.happens.horse

This brought to you by me having to explain crown copyright in the dissertation

"The King owns all the swans": weird, gross, who does that

"The Queen owns all the swans": bold, assume they obey her commands, what a weird accident of history

fuck the royals, but also it was so much more funnier to get to talk about The Queen doing stuff than The King, RIP Liz u truly had a better vernacular vibe

Got a spam email that began like this:

Honorable. Ingrid Burrington,

Have a productive day!!

I am honestly kind of into it

I appreciate that an ex of mine didn't rescind his endorsement of my skills in "Microsoft Office" on LinkedIn, really thoughtful of him

a "getting the team ready" hacker montage but it's set to the Goldberg Variations

@mhedney@historians.social Aliens is also great but a fundamentally different vibe, specifically I think this person will be really taken by the art direction and pacing of original recipe Alien

@colinmford a long walk

@abetterjulie oh i didn't see it until my early 30s and now i own a replica of the uniform baseball cap

how annoying am I allowed to be about telling someone who hasn't seen Alien that they really should watch Alien

1012 / big refactoring of chapter underway, I think it's the right approach but it's pretty tedious ugh

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-143/ this week in sentences: little more than, ceaselessly bathed, quill-scrawled, propertarian, extortion angle, healthy disregard, used to be, garbage, apocalypse, forceps, august brands, emboldened, hyphenated names

Man that cultural hegemony do be enforcing itself with violence in the wake of increasingly splintered media publics huh

2003 / but it was a blog post to think through some stuff for the dissertation, not the dissertation (but the stuff on planet scale and capitalist realism I think I might run with)

1329 / more of a "writing lit annotations so I can work them into this chapter revision" than additive but still useful I think?

The Summer I Turned Marxist-Leninist

@mjd I think some of it comes from the fact that she is out of her depth with my particular field of research and she's trying to make herself feel relevant?

I know I am being a baby but it is annoying to get feedback encouraging me to add contextual and analytical obvious stuff for a hypothetical undergrad reader in my dissertation when said dissertation will in fact only be read in its entirety by this committee, possibly not even all of them
