Holding close to small bits of happiness during this time. I'm very excited about the cover design of my book coming out from @UMinnPress this Fall. The book has been years in the making and thanks especially to @fiveoclockbot for all his support. Can't wait to see this in print!

New review! Many thanks, @anistudies and Andrew Connor for this generous review!
In his review of Pulses of Abstraction by @a_johnston, Andrew Connor explores Johnston’s insights into the philosophies, aesthetics, and technical challenges of mid-century abstract animation. Read it at https://t.co/tj4hA7OAgc.

I've been fortunate to have good reviews of Pulses of Abstraction, but this one from Eric Herhuth in Animation is special not only because of the venue but because of how much I admire (and assign) Eric's own work. Thanks, Eric!

I was looking forward to my first academic conference in 3 years at SLSA at Purdue on Thursday. But I got my first positive Covid test today instead (with the rest of the family too). I’ll miss seeing everyone and hearing about all your work!

Would have loved talking over dinner or drinks instead of Zoom but it was a lovely exchange with brilliant people. Thanks to each of them.

This #SCMS21 panel, with @ranjodhd, @AlexCampolo, @kaiy1ng, and @AndroidLinguist was wonderful, as was the conversation that kept going with participants and panelists afterwards and after the recording ended, long after the time allotted since it was the end of the day.

Trump asking about Biden about oil is exemplary of this. Trump doesn’t have policy answers and leans on these rhetorical pivots.

Trump is positioning himself as the moderator by asking questions to Biden. It’s a strategy that reorients power in the conversation and positions Biden on the defensive. Biden isn’t calling this out enough.
