que descanse en paz y poder 🕊️🙏🏾✊🏾 So many lessons learned by my early inspiration, Assata Shakur. I've been meditating on her words especially often lately, as I work her prison writings into a book chapter. Can't explain what she has meant for my organising and thinking...

Very much looking forward to this! Thank you for sharing ✨

Really curious abt how other academics decide how many speaking & service engagements they accept per term. Does anyone have a strategy or do you just follow vibes? 🫣 (I have always followed my heart but I'm so low capacity rn that I know I have to balance inspo events and the need for a cut off)

A Trump order seeks to impose involuntary confinement on homeless and mentally ill Americans. Trans people are already at a higher risk. But a nightmare scenario of mass confinement hangs over the order - the right defines trans people as inherently mentally ill. slate.com/life/2025/08...

If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a gendered space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act we need to hear from you. Let us know at: tinyurl.com/ReportALoo #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #LGBT

“What does it mean for one’s citizenship to depend on the violence of deportation in order to have meaning? Can we imagine forms of citizenship that do not require violence in order to have meaning? What are ways that citizens can ethically participate in realizing this change?”

Who on here will be in Chicago next weekend for #ASA2025? It's been about seven years since I was a regular attendee and I am a bit nervous I've become estranged from the US scene 🫣 (thankful for that in general, but if these meetings are as large as they were pre-COVID...😬)

📘 "This study builds on and critiques theories of doing, redoing, and undoing gender by demonstrating how nonbinary transitioning disrupts dominant models of gender accountability, recognition, and self-determination." @lseblogs.bsky.social @socwomen.bsky.social @asanews.bsky.social #sociology

Last wk in my course Abolitionist & Anticarceral Feminisms, we discussed carceral spatial politics + focused on Gilmore & Walia to assess criminalisation as an instrument of state-sanctioned human trafficking. It was great to think abt this with the "illegalisation" of migration. So many 💡s went off

Join The Mannheim Centre for Criminology next week to hear @smrodriguez.bsky.social @lsegender.bsky.social talk about ‘Arrested Analysis: The Unseen Reach of Sodomy Laws in Uganda’ with Dr Johann Koehler chairing! Find out more here:

It's mother's birthday (Angela Davis) and I'm writing the conclusion of a manuscript that is absolutely in honour of her work to forge a coalitional politic against sexual violence 🥺🙏🏾 we love you, we thank you, we honour you.

What an honour it was to be invited by Zanele Muholi to contribute to the closing discussions for Muholi's exhibition at the Tate. Faces and Phases is such a beautiful and powerful intervention to global understanding of Black queerness. If you haven't seen it yet, you've got til 26/1/25! #Blacksky

TransActual need to hear from you. The Trans Lives Survey 2024/25 is now open and your answers will be used to write a report (it will be anonymised don’t worry) that we can share with all sorts of people to help them understand what life is like for trans people in the UK today. (a thread)

Great opportunity below 👇🏾

Mutual aid, sanctuary spaces, sharing pantries, freedom schools, reading collectives, childcare collectives, shared gardens. Just a few ideas of how we keep us safe. We don’t have to give up. But we need to commune. Peace in the struggle. Joy in the fight.

One of my sweet kiddos gifted me this for Christmas and I spent the day in bliss.

Does anyone else spend December reading every book they can?? Just finished Model Home by Rivers Solomon and I'm absolutely blown away. Black non-binary (and/or intersex) disabled protagonist navigating several hauntings. So resonant and so layered.

CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Issue of @ceemr-journal.bsky.social edited by Bolaji Balogun, Kasia Kubin and myself - please share widely and send us your abstracts: 'Race-Making in the East of Europe: Understanding Imperial and Colonial Histories and their Afterlives': ceemr.uw.edu.pl/news

Absolutely upside down stuff: a Peabody award winning professor who teaches media non-fiction storytelling about *checks notes* police, inequality, and power is “persona non grata” on the campus where he is employed for that expertise? for documenting the thing he is known for covering?

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

New handbook for next term is complete 🙌🏾 and I am SO excited about how many books on abolition have come out since I last taught my undergrad version of the course (in 2020). 📚

to be specific: -share our work -give us money -attend our live streams and talks -don't let your friends get away with casual transphobia -engage positively with our communities -learn about other people who live in the same world as you

The process of mainstreaming far-right politics is a multi-faceted (but fairly obvious) one Starmer & his supporters claim reclaiming far right issues is what won them the election as it addressed "the people's legitimate grievances" Yet this has been tried many times and... 1/

I want my Black fam to know that we get Covid, & we get it bad. Disabled. Old. Young. Healthy. We are dropping dead. In a real ass way. We get long covid too. Bad. (Some call it long lasting covid). Please don’t think Im reachin. It’s really happening. They lied to us & this man will keep lying.

I wrote a book and I still can't believe it! 😭
