Hello to new followers who have joined in the last day or so! 👋 It's not usually this full of drama, though it has obviously has been recently. I usually post on premodern Japanese history, digital humanities, academic life, and cats with good faces. I try to keep it balanced. 
I believe it's important to maintain a positive though grounded perspective on academics & life more generally, and to foster a supportive community. I therefore make open access resources a lot, like my guide to Twitter for academics (and everyone else): prcurtis.com/docs/twittergu…
If you're here because you teach or research East Asia (or want to learn more about it!) I maintain a database of English-language digital resources to help folks diversify their work/learning to include non-European stuff: prcurtis.com/DH/resources/
For those more specifically in academic East Asian Studies, I also do long-term tracking of job data (sorry my tables are still down... coding is being worked on after Google's API update!). I post new jobs weekly, then compile reports on them. prcurtis.com/projects/jobda…
I try to be as transparent as possible about this kind of research and labor, so you'll also find links on my site to public writing about job search sites and whatnot, both within and outside of academia: prcurtis.com/projects/writi…
Some of y'all might also have found my blog on career options in Japanese Studies, where I also compile information/tools for using your Japanese! @shinpaideshou isn't as active lately because of my move, but if you ever want to write for it, hit me up! shinpaideshou.com
I maintain a Patreon because I spend hours & hours a week producing digital content to support my field & those adjacent to it. So if you ever want to be one of those cool people who pays it forward, patrons start @ $2/mo & get weekly job data sneak peeks. patreon.com/prcurtis
What else? I collaborated with colleagues to make a bunch of logical fallacy graphics you can drop on trolls in your mentions. Available in English, Japanese, and even German!

That's all I guess? If you're interested in learning more about metal casters and forgery in medieval Japan, there's more info in my online portfolio. Sometimes I'll tweet cool stuff about #medievalbells. 😎🔔 Nerd stuff, cats, & real talk. That's my feed. Welcome!
Also if you ever want one of these graphics in another language that you're willing to translate, I'm happy to put together the images for you. 👍
