"I need to get away from the man. But I need to do it in a way that doesn’t anger him. This is the tricky bit. Men who lack social awareness or empathy often also lack other skills in emotional management."

Hey, look, this advice also works for academic writing! Write for the person who will get excited about the weird detail you're obsessed with, not some mythical normal reader.

Maybe? Perfectly knowable, orderly, and made for someone's convenience is maybe the opposite of "monster"

REFLECTIONS ON
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL WORK
THE HOMOSAURUS,
QUEER VOCABULARIES,
AND IMPOSSIBLE METADATA

B. M. Watson is a Vanier Scholar at University of British Columbia’s iSchool focusing on histories of information and the practice of equitable cataloging in libraries,
archives, museums, and special collections. Watson is the archivist for the Haslam
Collection on Polyamory at the Kinsey Institute and serves on the editorial board of
Homosaurus (homosaurus.org).

screenshot of a journal article:
This essay is occupied with attempts to provide alternative bibliographic infrastructures for marginalized communities and discusses
the possibilities of queer metadata. First, I provide a definitional and
literature review focused on the principles and purposes of the field
of knowledge organization. Next, I introduce the Homosaurus as an
example of a queer alternative to standard cataloging and classification structures. I draw from discussions on imagined records and impossible archival imaginaries in the archival studies field in order to
propose the concepts of “metadatic imaginaries” and “impossible
metadatic imaginaries.” The essay closes with considerations about
the implications for queer bibliography.

Bibliographic data and metadata, alongside their supporting apparatuses, such as data fields, card catalogs, and controlled vocabularies,
are important because of what they tell us and also because of what
they do not. As Sarah Werner points
