PSA/Request
I think I have mentioned this before, but it probably bears repeating given the erosions of time.
I should really be very, very grateful if people would not explicitly associate my erinacine identity with my passport name.
I thought the fact that I don't, anywhere, explicitly associate my passport name with this journal was sufficient hint.
I see this space as being like a pub table or corner of a coffee-shop or salon which is poised in a liminal position between the public and the private.
I don't want to do the locked posts/friends-only thing, but I do want this to be an informal space where I can whinge, vent, rant, snark, be silly and whimsical, talk in lolspeak, and generally feel myself relaxed in slippers and tracksuit.
Feeling that (certain) people I know in formal work and academic settings might find this space and feel free to drop by makes my flesh creep.
(Fortunately my passport name, as I have heretofore remarked, is fairly common and there are at least 2 other academics in related fields who bear it, but even so, it is rather less usual than Jane Smith.)
