Had such a fun chat and happy to see it turned out to be a great piece 🥳🫶
For my data journalism class, I collected data and wrote a feature about engagement w/ music from Greater China on Spotify. Read the piece via @HybridZine.👇 If you enjoy the read, please share💕(1/2) open.substack.com/pub/hybrid…

Today’s exhibition hopping. I wonder if Ai knows that “teapot sprouts” is also an internet slang meaning the opposite of BDE, used mostly by feminists to call out annoying men online and ounter mansplaining. If so, even more respect for the man
The Korean Wave at VA was also amazing. Not just about K-Pop but also covering history, economic changes, development of tech and K-dramas too. Gangnam Style was distracting me from reading notes and captions but oh well he had to be there
Mentioned way too many fandoms in this fun episode and I now fear they might come for me so here’s a disclaimer: don’t come for me. I love and respect everybody. I mean no harm and I bear no arms ✋🏻🤚🏻
And we're live! @FaultsActive and the BL Canon!
We discuss #BL dramas, Xiao Zhan and Zhang Zehan's PR fiascos, #EstherYi's incredible "Y/N" and whether #Taemin is the inspiration behind Moon, the most compelling idol in the world, and so much more!

Hugely indebted to Yi-Ling and the crew at @restofworld for tying my all-over-the-place mumblings together to form a pretty and informative piece. ❤️
These five Chinese "translator-influencers" on Weibo curate, edit and translate clips from banned foreign social media websites – providing internet users a window to the outside world

The amount of times I was interrupted by shit going down in my fandom while writing about this exact fandom 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, new one's out! Have fun! Come see my rambling on Substack's Notes page: substack.com/profile/8493312…
.@FaultsActive and @emwritingnow on the "teeth-grinding and ambivalent dynamic between Chinese K-Pop fans, other non-Chinese fans and Korean celebrities," and the one weird metric that functions like the GDP of idol fandom: activefaults.substack.com/p/…
Went from considering trekking 300 miles to borrow a physical copy at Groningen (closest copy to me according to WorldCat) to having two (2) electronic versions in different formats in less than 12 hrs. Love my resourceful frenz on here.
Finished it 10 mins ago and I’m still sitting here in shock. Might start a new segment over on @FaultsActive where I review books/articles just so to talk about this in details. 🤯
Was gonna start writing the next issue today, but read “Crying in H Mart” instead and now might need 3-5 business days to recover.
my google tv just turned itself on and started playing star wars. i’m now gonna go live in the rainforest away from all electrical appliances.

Completly agree that fan studies are sidelined as an academic discipline - particularly because of the whole "fangirl" media associations with - screamers since the 1950s. So, it's time to overcome the "misrepresentation of #fanquan as a space of neurosis and irrationality".
@ChaoyangTrap - my main provider of Sinospheric news, analysis & fandom survole has closed.
Yet here's Em's Women’s History Month #fanquan analysis with a specific look at female celebrity fans in #China. Highly #recommended!
