i have had lots of practice giving talks that have no real importance to an audience of people i already know and feel relaxed around. here are some other things i could and would do a presentation about in a similarly low-stakes setting!

✶ workshop style

  • instructional design: fic catalog

  • dialect shifts / speaking americanese
  • yuri is bernadetta’s BEST end and here’s why
  • what makes a good hear me out
  • why throwing a punch is hot

  • musical songs i’d fuck
  • rating fe3h dads
  • rating pandemic things i did from least to most deranged (least: started taking SSRIs; most: GOT A DOG)
  • stuff i spent big money on and how worth it they were
  • organization tools i have used
  • extremely subjective modern cartoon opinions
  • fucked-up/transgressive book recs
  • something something tumblr sexymen
  • oof ouch the passage of time: media that activates my chronophobia

✶ games
