Allow me to translate: “it’s okay to kill these people because they’re queers”

Framing Turkish American Literature I am so, very happy to finally share this CfP for a special forum of the Journal of Transnational American Studies. It is a project dear to my heart & I would be grateful if you could help circulate it! Full CfP is here: www.uni-muenster.de/Anglistik/Re...

Gender studies really is the quintessential "useless" major that correctly explains basically everything that's going on in the world right now

*meh* for the wasted potential of "The Abandons" (which, admittedly, I might've mostly watched for the cast)–could've been a show about the diverse dramas of the frontier / the violence of westward expansion. Feels like one mostly about moody/horny teenagers and domineering mothers

"Many people invoke a distinction between illicit uses of A.I. (such as the composition of entire drafts) and innocent auxiliary functions — outlining, for instance. But it is these seemingly benign functions that are the most pernicious for developing minds." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

OTD in 1840, the English diarist Anne Lister died. In this piece from the archive, Jill Liddington reflects on her own journey with Lister – from the heady days of initial discovery, to the phenomenal global success of Gentleman Jack.

“Gender studies as a discipline…is defined by a set of debates and problematics.” In this 10-Minute Talk, Judith Butler FBA discusses gender as a field of study and its interdisciplinary contributions to research, social analysis and social movements. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEvH...

Julia Klöckner hat angewiesen, dass zur diesjährigen Pride Parade in Berlin keine Regenbogenflagge auf dem Bundestag weht. Nun wurde auch die Teilnahme der Bundesregierung an der Pride zurückgenommen. Ich sag’s nur, damit am Ende von euch niemand sagen kann, ma hätte ja nichts ahnen können.

CSD-Veranstaltungen werden auch 2025 wieder von Rechtsextremen angegriffen – nicht nur im Osten. Alleine vergangenes Wochenende gab es mindestens drei Angriffe in Westdeutschland. Im Hessischen Wetzlar stören 35 Neonazis die Pride-Parade, skandieren rassistische Parolen. 1/x
