Any mutuals here connected to The Museum of Transology in the UK? One of my MA students (based in NL) needs to access the collection for their research. Grateful for any personal connection to pass onto them!

Wieder vier ermordete Journalist:innen in Gaza heute Morgen. Wird man bei DJV und DJU erneut damit rechnen müssen, dass sie nachträglich diffamiert und entmenschlicht werden?

Productive when moral anger turns into accidental learning: Without T*RFS would have never spent so much time reading into biology. All of it contradicts their claims. Whoever seeks fixity in biology is misguided (without even addressing why this is ill-suited for normative application).

"And when the world finally turns the page—if it ever does—let it not say that Gaza was silent. Let it not imagine we vanished without speaking. We spoke with mouths filled with dust. We sang, even with broken teeth. We prayed from fractured knees." - Alaa Alqaisi

This idea of 'elite' Uni (adjunct/freelance in Eur) workers needs to go, it's so pervasive outside our little bubble.

Gaza lies in ruins - its people killed, starved, displaced. Yet Germany refuses to engage with the charge of genocide against Israel. My latest essay on why this silence will have lasting political effects open.substack.com/pub/hannohau...

Sign petition: In Defense of Art Research: A Call to Support ACPA, PhDArts, and docARTES. Leiden University announced that it will “phase out” the funding for its Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA)... www.e-flux.com/notes/668777...

"If the gender on an applicant's passport differs from the gender confirmed at birth, U.S. authorities may deny entry". It's a gift NOT to have to travel to the US ATM, realise for many this is not an option. Truly fear for my queer and trans-comrades across the pond.

Can empirically confirm that nearby jackhammering and writing are mortal enemies.

"The language of ‘immutability’ belongs more properly to a natural law tradition in which male and female kinds are established by divine will and so belong to a version of creationism."

A dear feminist science studies mentor passed on March 5. Have a good journey Sandra Harding. ❤️ Harding was UCLA Distinguished Professor Emerita of Education and Gender Studies, former Director of the Center for the Study of Women. Link is an oral history interview with Sandra on her career.

Have always been fascinated by onomatopoeic words from other languages - it's incredible how differently we hear/transliterate noises (and how known language trains hearing).

One accidental, retaliatory punishment for the US Tariffs: Americans getting introduced to, and lectured by Doug Ford.

There are cities structured by the logics of cats in temporality and spatial emergence, and those structured by the logics of dogs. None of which has to do with the actual animal population of either creature, it's simply a different ethos altogether.

Was in Gaza geschehen ist – und von Trump nun in noch extremerer Form angekündigt wird – nennt sich Zwangsvertreibung, auch bekannt als „ethnische Säuberung“. Medien, die das nicht klar benennen, untergraben ihre Glaubwürdigkeit.

Second this, in different words from 2015 in Laboria Cubonik's tone, in a moment that feels like eons ago. (FWIW wouldn't frame it exactly in the same way today...but the gist - yes, always).

How's that 'no cooperation ever' going. Terrifying precedents being set in DE.

"Imagine an ignorance militant, aggressive, not to be intimidated, [one] that is active, dynamic, that refuses to go quietly—[...] propagated at the highest levels of the land, indeed presenting itself unblushingly as knowledge." - Charles Mills, "White Ignorance" Mindful of upcoming DE elections.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.
