@memilies Ugh, your opinions are always so good

[emily @memilies]

it's weird to me when people don't see fictionalized depictions of various historical figures as fascinating, rather than An Insult. this is the second life of that figure, regardless of accuracy. isn't it almost equally important how we have engaged culturally with their memory?

[Dr Helen Victoria Murray @HelenVMurray]

@FernRiddell Hi! I write on Victorian artists as celebrities. In particular, how they used the accelerating medium of photography as a tool to enter the public consciousness & self-promote. My thesis covered 1860-1914, but wider expertise covers long 19c photo theory/ celebrity studies

@memilies @sourcitruslady That comforts me in the strangest way

@memilies @sourcitruslady I hear Let Go and immediately flash back to listening to it on a discman while riding a scooter

“I’m in my ____ era”? I’m so sorry, I don’t readily subscribe to artificial periodization that excises historical events from their broader stream of progression.

@memilies Can I interest you in a 10 hour playlist of metal, hyperpop and baroque classical?
