...is way more fun than blogging, which is more fun than writing articles, which is way more fun than finishing short stories. It really is like one of those evolution cartoons that runs in reverse! Sad, actually.

Below you can find my recent tweets, as well as those labeled with some of my favorite hastags.

Here some tweets I found of my postopolis talk. I think it went okay!

@nicolatwilley "Surviving genocidal pressures only to be undone by the real estate market." That, and the 1995 census of vampires. Gary Dauphin @postoplis!

@jordanclaire Thinking of Seinfeld scene, on Staten Island ferry: "What's that, daddy?" "That's Brooklyn, son. That's where Spike Lee lives!" #postopolis

@jordanclaire 'monocultural multiculturalism' in Fort Greene Bklyn gentrification #postopolis

@postopolis: RT @nicolatwilley: Gary compares gentrification to the neutron bomb: change the demographics but keep the buildings. Value of new metaphors

@postopolis: Gary points out that there are very few "vampire architects" in contemporary vampire writing (where "vampire" is a political metaphor)

@postopolis: The talk now shifts to the political implications of vampires in pop culture today - full-bloodedness vs. mixed-race vampires

@postopolis: Throughout Gary's presentation, lots of images of white vampires appear on the screen... followed by Blackula. Blade. White hipsters

@postopolis: The increasingly non-African American character of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has led to something Gary calls Fort Greene Nostalgia

@postopolis: Gary asks: Do Ebony and Jet, in a collapsing magazine market, need to be saved as examples of black history? Media preservation

@postopolis: Gary is showing a randomly changing loop of images, and the effect is so great, actually. Wesley Snipes as Blade suddenly appears

@postopolis: The city as a geography of "ethnic pride" and "ethnic nostalgia." He mentions Ebony and Jet as a media of ethnic urban communication

@postopolis: Gary refers to himself as "a working journalist," not a theorist, not an architect, not an artist. Used to work for Black Planet.

@postopolis: And now Gary Dauphin begins. Laughing, he says that he will start his talk about LA... with a map of Brooklyn. And indeed he does.

@jordanclaire: Gary Dauphin – mapping fuzzier defns of identity-based communities, was just having convo about my interest in same w/ @subtopes #postopolis

@postopolis The increasingly non-African American character of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has led to something Gary calls Fort Greene Nostalgia.

... or at least Twitterton.

My current work schedule means real, actual blog posting will continue to be infrequent into at least June, but if you tweet I would love it if you followed me. (You can find my tweets here.) I have to confess to initially being a twitter-resistor, but the 140-word format starts to make a bit more sense when you're on the clock and stealing time from THE MAN. (As opposed to yourself.) I was also won over by having re-connected with some random people I know on there, as well as by connecting with a few souls I have known at byline or nod-across-party level but never really talked to.

Anyway, don't go and unsubscribe to this feed or anything. The kids at Ebogjonson Labs are trying to figure out how to bring you the more.
