In these terrible times it is comforting to know that my grand puppy thinks that she’s a book.

As a reader, I’ve surpassed the point of being like “Sarah Schulman’s new book is one of her best yet” to wanting to buy a box of copies and start mailing it to people. And I deeply, deeply hate having to put things in the mail. This book is about why solidarity is so difficult and so necessary.

Jeju citizens awaiting execution during the Jeju uprising, 3 April 1948. Defiant faces.

Calling all killjoys in Boston, NYC, Philly and DC. Come along and say no loudly and together to the abusers and the harassers and the fascists and the systems they create that create them 🔥🔥

Federal protections against detention and deportation for sexual abuse survivors have deteriorated under Trump.

A pleasurable evening following Prof, @drsamischalk.bsky.social’s brilliant and inspiring Mandel lecture on “Pleasures of Process and Product in Collaborative Artwork.” I especially enjoyed her sumptuous Bridgerton-themed queer photoshoot images!!😍🥰❤️

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

I can’t move past the horrific bombing of the Iranian girls’ school and the immense suffering of their families. My heart aches for them.

Step up for Désirée. Send her cash. Think on her and read her stuff, it's worth your time. 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #MutualAidBoost #BIPOCMA

Due to our recent blizzard, flights have been cancelled. I’ll post an update about Prof. Patricia Hill’s lecture as soon as we reschedule it.

May American lawmakers and courts heed South Korea’s example of dealing with insurrectionists.

Prof. Patricia Hill Collins will deliver the annual WGS Eleanor Roosevelt Lecture, "Black Women's Intellectual Activism, Social Justice, and Radical Hope." This was the last event that I organized with Faith Smith before I stepped down as Chair so it feels extra special. I cannot believe it!!😍

This is a travesty. African and African Diaspora Studies at UT Austin has been one of the best programs in the country. And for historical context, this is explicitly about reversing the gains of student movements in the 60s and 70s. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

Give Bad Bunny the Nobel Peace Prize already!❤️

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

i wrote a collection with my bestie and it’s gonna be out in the world soooooon. like, actually.

This is so real but also the “we” doesn’t include Black and brown faculty teaching in ethnic and feminist studies… Because we been knowing this. The university been doing this to us 4 a while. Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

Rest in peace my sweet little friend. You grew up with my kids and brought so much joy to our lives. I can’t stop crying. I can’t believe you are gone forever.

Two books we used to talk through Frankenstein are Capitalism: A Horror Story by @thelitcritguy.bsky.social (from @horrorvanguard.bsky.social) and Skin Shows by Jack Halberstam, both excellent reference books for your horror theory library!

After the killing of Alex Pretti by CBP agents, Chuck Schumer announced "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." Now we must ensure Democrats hold the line to block more funding for ICE and CBP. You know what to do. 👇

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

We are all drowning in a pool of systemic propaganda so I understand why the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti feel esp shocking and I think it is important to do the internal work of asking yourself, if this applies to you, why the deaths of immigrants/Black folks don't shock in the same way
