@smaran I would have loved to see it, but I’m a #theatrenerd in LA. The cast album is brilliant!

Now that I'm happily settled into a server I see myself staying on long-term (Humanities Commons), I thought I would finally write an #introduction.
I'm Smaran Dayal, currently an Assistant Prof. of #Literature at #Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.
I recently got my #PhD in #ComparativeLiterature from #NYU. My PhD dissertation, which I'm now working into a book was a study of literary #Afrofuturism, in particular the novels of #SamuelDelany and #OctaviaButler.
Along with Ulrich Baer, during the first year of the pandemic, I co-edited an anthology of American literature titled Fictions of America: The Book of Firsts.
My primary research interests are #GlobalAnglophone and #AfricanAmerican literature, #postcolonial literary studies, #queertheory and #queerliterature, and, centrally, #sciencefiction studies.
Lovely to (re)connect with you all here!

sistemanza dei joycojoni per giocare senza troppo sclerare (fix/riparazione Joycon drift con la carta)
“Dunque”… parola che in questo caso significa “odio Nintendo“… Questa settimana mi starei divertendo a tenere la specie di nuovo diario di gioco degli Animali Crostini, ma, nonostante mesi e mesi di inutilizzo, i joycon dello Swiss non si comportano affatto bene (o meglio, nello specifico il sinistro, perché il destro mi va a posto… anche se è comunque rotto in altre parti, che disastro!): lo stick drifta, e oggettivamente persino più di tutti quei tizi che negli anni 80 in Giappone facevano le corse clandestine con le auto. 🏎️
Questo è… non un enorme problema per giocare ad ACNH, visto che comunque il drift non è pesantissimo, e il massimo che succede è che il personaggio se ne vola lentamente verso nord (“oh mia bela madunina” aah tipo di merda), e nei menu sembra raramente rompere le scatole… ma comunque, il drift è costante, e di conseguenza il fatto che il coso non stia fermo è bello fastidioso per fare movimenti precisi (gaming) o mettersi in posa per fare foto. 😭
Visto che stasera, per fare 1 o 2 schermate (che alla fine nemmeno ho incluso nel post, lasciamo stare) stavo per perdere la pazienza, dopo aver chiuso la sessione di giocaggio ho subito aperto il joycon merdoso, per poterlo riparare con un metodo che fa, ma guarda un po’, molto me-core… ma, a differenza del solito, questo sembra davvero funzionare. Insomma, stick nuovi non li compro, perché tanto col tempo prenderanno a driftare tali e quali ai vecchi e sarò sempre punto e a capo (e poi sono tirchia, è bene non dimenticarlo), ma… uno spessorino di carta precisamente architettato, nel controller ce lo ficco. 😈
…E, si, la riparazione è tutta qui. So che sembra stramboide, ma in realtà su YouTube gira da tanti anni, e il video più famoso che la spiega ha (ad ora) 1,7 milioni di visualizzazioni e 99mila like, quindi è d’uopo fidarsi: “How To Fix Your Joycon Drift Permanently!” di VK’s Channel, il famigerato. Io stessa, dopo averla finita e visto il risultato, fatico a credere di non star sognando, ma, se non ho perso completamente la capacità di distinguere il reale dall’immaginato, allora questo fatto è proprio reale!!! 😍
Come carta, da mettere precisamente sopra al retro di metallo dello stick, io ho tagliato dei pezzetti rettangolari grandi circa quanto il fondo dello stick in un lato e il doppio nell’altro, di modo da piegarli in un quadratino al punto tale da creare circa (a occhio) 0.5mm di spessore, per poi fissarli con dello scotch andando giù (che aggiunge un altro po’ di spessore, ma ideale, non troppo), e il risultato mi è venuto talmente preciso da (quasi, ci sarà 0.1mm di differenza visibile solo di profilo; possiamo dire che è niente) non deformare nemmeno il controller quando riassemblato! 👍
Non metto un mio video, perché sarebbe la solita noia di vedere una manina che con il ditino muove lo stickino, ma le foto parlano già abbastanza da sole. Non solo la differenza tra il prima e il dopo la sistemazione è sbalorditiva, ma attenzione alla forma dello stick rotto… il retro è piegato verso l’esterno, come se (e beh, è proprio questo il caso; il video di sopra lo spiega molto bene, facendo riferimento a stick smontati e ai design dei brevetti) questo fosse stato tenuto tipo sospeso nel vuoto, quindi tendente a sprofondare su sé stesso con l’usura, dunque a non stare più in posizione centrale da fermo, e dunque a smaranarsi. 🙏
Vabbè, speriamo che questo fix octoso duri… non dico per sempre, come il video secondo me inutilmente fa sperare, ma quantomeno qualche annetto… anche perché smontare e poi rimontare un joycon non è divertentissimo. A tal proposito… aprendo il controller ho perso il bottoncino di plastica per l’espulsione, quello che sta dietro… e ho cercato sul pavimento (l’ho sentito cadere e rimbalzare chissà dove), ma non l’ho trovato. Sicuramente uscirà domani mattina, ma io non avrò voglia di riaprire il controller per metterlo… e questo in realtà non è un problema, perché il fermino di plastica nel mio joycon è così consumato che questo si estrae semplicemente tirando, senza dover premere… che è tipo l’unica volta al mondo in cui lo spacc torna utile. 😴

A Day of Two Teach-Ins: Stevens and NYU #FreedomToLearn gatherings as part of the National Day of Action against the censorship of AP African American Studies, school curricula, and the banning of books across the US (we learned today that there have been some failed initiatives in parts of New Jersey too). @litstudies

Petition against the #tiktok ban. I will say, I actively use TikTok in the college classroom. It’s an important pedagogical tool and as a profession we should oppose this ban. Regulate *all* #socialmedia companies, instead of targeting a single app that has been a vehicle of progressive political education and organizing—and especially because a lot of the rhetoric around the ban stems from American #Sinophobia.

Hey friends. Please read this open letter that I signed onto. It's a collective statement by college and university faculty from across the US who teach African American Studies in defense of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course that was blocked/censored in Florida.

Just a heads up for #LitStudies and #scifi studies people who, like me, end up missing #CfP deadlines.
#ASA 2023 (Montreal) submissions are open all of January.
#MELUS 2023 (Indianapolis) is taking abstracts until January 10th.
#MLA 2024 (Philadelphia): call for papers for seminars can be posted from now through February. And paper abstracts are submitted in March (I believe).
The Utopian Studies Society (#USS) call usually runs through mid-May. Also keeping my eyes open for the NYC #CityTech Science Fiction conference (which I've sadly missed so far) and #ICFA.
I'm taking a time-out from #ACLA. A reproductive rights seminar the year that Roe is repealed is apparently not CompLit enough? Let me hold my peace before I re-litigate long-standing disciplinary gripes.

Is anyone going to #MELUS 2023 in Indianapolis? They'll be marking half a century since the organization's founding. Thinking of sending in an abstract before the Jan 10th deadline. (I'm usually terrified of the Midwestern cold, but the Internet tells me it usually averages around 17C/62F in April.) #LitStudies #Academia #conferences #cfp @litstudies
