starting somewhere

Hi.

You probably know me from somewhere.

I am trying this out for thoughts that are longer than microblogging and less serious than my academic blog.

I need to learn to write freely again.

So here is the place where my energy might be lower and my thoughts a little more organised than other platforms, but I won't be hiding behind my intellectual persona.

Judith Butler says that the way they cope with fame is to have a separate life from the person called 'Judith Butler' who's known by everybody. I've tried to do the same. Today I've signed up to talk about myself to people at work in an event called TheirStories. This may have been a profound mistake. I do not like talking about myself. I do not like myself much. But here's for it, anyway. I am going to do so despite my discomfort.

It's an uncomfortable world.
