As some of you guys have probably noticed by now, I haven’t been very active with this web blog these last few months. Since graduating college in May, I’ve more or less been in a constant state of “what the hell am I going to do now?” I’ll be honest; things have been tough. I got hit with some HARD post-grad depression thanks to the stress of searching for employment and still turning up empty. So yeah, things have kinda really sucked these past few months, but thankfully this update isn’t a formal announcement that I’ve finally given up and will be cryogenically freezing myself for the foreseeable future. 

Anyways, 1) I’m not dead or as sad anymore, 2) I do plan on following up with Part 2 of Women in JoJo (it’s currently half-way finished in my drafts), and 3) I’m gonna be doing some really cool stuff for some really great sites!

I’m happy to announce that I will be featured on Ungilded, an up-and-coming feminist web-project, and Anime Feminist, a new site focused on covering anime and manga through a feminist lens! You can expect my debut articles to be published by the end of the month and some time in January respectively.

Ungilded’s got an Instagram you can connect with and they’re also open for reader submissions geared towards politics, internationalism, health, news, etc.    

You can support Anime Feminist on Patreon so more academics like myself can have a space to keep doing what they love (i.e. have feminist discussions about Godzilla). You can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook. 

Lastly, I’m also in the process of editing my manuscript for Actions Girls Are Doing It for Themselves for submission to scholarly journals. I’m hoping to have the academic crowning achievement of my undergraduate career ready for publishing very soon. I know people have been dying to read it.

So yeah, that’s essentially what I’ve got going right now, so be on the lookout for new content after the holidays. 

Peace -

Lu Han smiles warmly and hopes that Minseok can see, in the curve of his lips, all the things that he wants to say but cannot. "Who are you, though, really?" "A boy who belongs to the sky—to the entire world—and just to you." Minseok holds onto his hand like an anchor might the sand of the ocean.
