It's a big day at the Post45 Data Collective. It's a data journal I co-founded with @lbmcgrath.bsky.social in 2021, though we began planning in 2019. So I've worked on it for six years. Today I step off as co-editor and @manshel.bsky.social & @jdporter.bsky.social step on. data.post45.org

thanks @publicbooks.bsky.social for publishing this short piece I wrote about autofiction, class, real estate, creative careers, social media, and "immediacy" 💘
Autofiction Writers of the World, Unite! - Public Books
Immediacy, here, is an aesthetics of ambivalent aspiration, within a hierarchically ordered and immobilizing class- and race-based cultural system.

First post! Officially Dr. Grubnic! 👯 My advisor made me drink from the “goblet of knowledge.” 😅 Thank you to my committee for such in-depth engagement with my work. I thought the defence would be an interrogation, but it felt more like a forward-looking discussion. What a wonderful end to the PhD.
