So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment?

I can picture it lol. A 4-week intensive with a short essay and reflective portfolio on masculinity in Kaiji & A Little Life. Maybe add some mythopoetics, performativity, publishing and manga studies in there. I should pitch it to my prof

I mean she has a whole lecture on poo, guts and the grotesque so I’m sure she can handle it
