Sara MarcusOK, here's an introduction: I'm an English professor at Notre Dame, teaching and writing about US literature, popular music, sound in general, feminist/queer theory, and cultural history. My new book, POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT, will be published by Belknap/Harvard UP next May. My previous book, GIRLS TO THE FRONT, was and still is a history of the punk feminist movement Riot Grrrl. I find the relative quiet of this new site oddly comforting.
Cavar@saramarcus welcome! Those books sound so awesome.
trotsky_vygotsky@saramarcus It's one thing I really enjoy about Mastodon. I don't find myself doomscrolling and I actually get bored at times which I feel is good for me.
Viktor@saramarcus Oh wow, you wrote Girls to the Front?? One of my older sisters gave that book to me as a Christmas gift when I was 15 or 16 and I absolutely loved it. Thank you for one of the best reading experiences of my teenage (+ mohawked!) years 😊

something about the title Political Disappointment in all caps is very funny
especially cause with your work on riot grrrl movement it's just in Kathleen Hanna's voice

Maia KB Chowdhury@saramarcus fun writing in a serious context, sounds like. :-) Nice to meet you.
TobiasCarroll@saramarcus Mightily excited to read the new book!
@TobiasCarroll Thank you!
Modern Soul Records + Books@saramarcus Hi Sara! So nice to see you on here--I was saying that to my partner as well. I have met new folks on here and it feels more like journaling, which is a nice/kind exercise compared to tweeting/being in the previous space. I still need to find Kathy Valentine's space.
