Where to find me - Social Media
For now…. for now, I’m still on twitter https://twitter.com/MaireBro . I’ve liked Twitter from the start. In fact I knew about it quite early but didn’t allow myself to join until 2011 because I was trying to finish my thesis, and I knew I’d find it a delightful distraction. Perhaps unusually I like to follow people with low numbers of followers (like me!)* as well as some big names and institutions.
It used to be fun and then it became a hellsite and I hung on in there. There’s book stuff and some lovely connections and people who make terrible jokes. I also follow some people who give me a different perspectives, people from marginalised groups or people who have lives so profoundly different to mine that our paths would likely never cross. I’m not sure what’s happening next, so we’ll see.
I still nominally have a facebook account, but I haven’t been on facebook in about a year, and even then when I checked it for the first time in months I found it unusable and unrecognisable.
I’m on Instagram as well https://www.instagram.com/mairebro. That’s mostly pictures of Ted and of me wearing the same dress for 100 days** I have found that their ads have taken an aggressive turn recently and so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stay on IG.
Back in the day I was a blogger - I had one for years… so maybe I’ll blog more, or shout my random thoughts and terrible jokes out the window instead of social media. If you want to be kept in the loop you can sign up to my mailing list https://www.mairebrophy.com/follow. I use it sparingly, but I will announce book releases etc through it. If you want to contact me, you can also do it here https://www.mairebrophy.com/contact … or you can shout your thoughts out your own window!
Book 2 is still coming… I’m actually finishing the last read through of the first edits today - life got in the way for a few months there!
*There’s another twitter account @MaireBrophy, which is also me, but its my work stuff about academia and research
** that should probably be it’s own blogpost
