  Thanks for your comments, Linde! These are thoughtful points. Considering both of your last questions, I think that intersections of size and gender identity could be productive on the show, particularly in relationship to fat and trans identities. Someth ...

  Thanks for your post, Linde! I especially appreciate your mention of these inclusions as a kind of queer pedagogy, though the lessons are obviously ambivalent and often problematic. All Stars 1 also seems remarkable for how consistently and explicitly thi ...

  Thanks for your post, Andy! I really appreciate your notation of how Bianca negotiates her relationship to the show. Curious for your take on what she could do (if anything) to further disentangle her brand from the show, if it's desirable or possibl ...

  Thanks so much for this, Alyx! Glad to finally know the source of the AAA Girls. I also appreciate your notation of how the show commodifies queer culture. I'm astounded at the marshaling of satire here, but how slim it really winds up being consider ...

  Thanks for sharing this. I've been using Tumblr for archiving for years, for research as well as teaching. I find it a fairly simple way to manage multiple sites with multiple interests in multiple ways. I've used it for teaching for several yea ...

  Thanks so much for your take here on GIRLS' and Dunham's highly convergent multimedia presence. I'm really taken with your idea in the last paragraph that GIRLS is branding its own contradictions: we often think of brands as something unify ...

  Thanks, Nedda, and thanks also to you and Jing for putting these weeks together! I do think that the recap experience does help to enhance the experience of watching the show, whether a viewer is a fan or not. In terms of these recaps specifically, I star ...

  Good point! Just like there was hate-watching of GIRLS, it seems like there was also hate-reading of these recaps. As a critic, Cook definitely functions as a privileged paratexter, to use Jonathan Gray's words from SHOW SOLD SEPARATELY, whose work r ...
