YouTube video by Helsinki Collegium

Digital Traces of the Grief of the Dying
I was invited to write a post for the blog of the research group Digital Death: Transforming History, Rituals and Afterlife. Here is the post. I write about grief and illness narratives in the contemporary multi-platformed online moment.

Since my attempt to disentangle from M began, I have found myself here, Mastodon, Signal (😜) and now Substack peeking in, not sure what to do and where… meanwhile spending far less time on any socials and taking less photos. I feel like I did when I stopped smoking 14 years ago. (Pic Brussels 2010)

Everyday and today is a good day for reading research on breast cancer and pink ribbon culture. I had my three-weekly Herceptin injection today. Feeling rubbish. Still curious though.

Yliopisto-opettajan aamiainen ja työpisteen koristelu. Luennoin monikanavaisesta omaelämäkerrallisesta ilmaisusta, toivon ja paranemisen vetovoimasta alustoituneessa kerronnassa. Sopivaa siis, että raportoin täällä 😆. Heti muistin miksi Leena-Maija Rossi sanoo ”opiskelijat ovat ihania”.

Jotenkin tämä Viimeinen kirjani sivu 272 ennakoi suoraan että seuraavana luvassa oli Noitarakastaja-romaanin kirjoittaminen.
Viime viikolla ja tänään olen kuullut että tätä kirjaani käytetään yliopisto-opetuksessa. Hieno juttu!

Art Monsters - Lauren Elkin
A must-read for someone like me. Perfect for my obsessions.
Weirdly, a great companion to my novel Noitarakastaja.
