Are you going to the NWSA conference in San Juan, PR this year? We recorded a little podcast for the NEWBIES! #NWSA2025 @theenwsa.bsky.social youtu.be/F3nbX15uNac

I am so honored to announce that I've been elected President of the National Women's Studies Association. My term begins at the end of our November conference in Puerto Rico. I think I'll be the first Puerto Rican President, and I'll assume that role in Puerto Rico. This fact makes my heart sing.

I just keep thinking (a la Douglass): What, to the professor of race, gender, sexuality, disability, is academic freedom? www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

you should probably go ahead and pre-order our anthology before it is banned for anti-a m e r i kkk a n sentiment. also, you can't beat $23.20 for a 375 page anthology. bookshop.org/p/books/porq...

oh NBD, just sharing a page in the @feministpress.bsky.social catalogue with Michelle Tea.🤩

David Huerta, the local president of SEIU United Service Workers West, was injured and arrested by federal agents in the midst of a fascist and chaotic ICE Gestapo raid on Friday in Los Angeles.

Dear National Guard, You too can resist. #losangeles

Have ya'll read this yet? #PuertoRico www.publicbooks.org/its-about-ti...

Find me a diasporican who visited homeland and *didn’t* record the coqui’s song on their phone to listen to as needed. I’ll wait.

Thrilled to share that the anthology we all need is now available for pre-order. It's been a dream of mine to publish with The Feminist Press, and HERE WE ARE. #wepa! #feminism #PuertoRican #liberation #decolonial

if you truly cared about mothers, you wouldn’t blow them up and starve their babies.

I miss Bitch Magazine. still. always. forever.

Did you know that @theenwsa.bsky.social will be in #PuertoRico this year? And did you know that there is a Puerto Rican feminisms pre-conference? And did you know that it is being organized by the Puerto Rican Feminisms Interest Group? Now you know! www.nwsa.org/annual-confe...

they definitely killed Giuffre. cause that's what happens to too many survivors who claim their voice. i hate it here.

I demand that Alvarez Diaz and Villalon drop out of the Esencia project immediately! This private city will only further destroy Puerto Rican land and displace more of our people. We deserve a Puerto Rico for Puerto Ricans! #NoAEsencia @advfirm

not to make light of things but I'd love to opt out of this Handmaid's Tale/Hunger Games/Parable of the Sower mashup

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

When you leave #academia, the institution and those who protect it will not grieve. But the students will continue to stand beside you. 😭🥰 www.instagram.com/p/DIwNUgDsDW...

Total dominance.

wakes up. sees a decapitated Palestinian toddler. reads about 3rd graders disappeared by the frozen people. cries in rage. wishes more folks who are turning away would watch. would hold. would witness. would FIGHT. WE'VE ALWAYS KNOWN YOUR "PRO-LIFE" STANCE WAS GENOCIDAL BULLSHIT.

A colleague and I wrote a little something about #DEI in a "blue state" as fellows of SUNY's DEISJ program. Check it out. #SocialJustice #FreePalestine medium.com/@justjessp/b...

Serious question: so you’ve packed your go bag, WHERE are you going? If the go bag is suddenly needed, will airports be working? Will trains be running? Will highways be open?

this is the energy. call out the fuck up energy.

Lesson from the neoliberal #university: When the top priority of your institution is the bottom line and that bottom line is threatened…you fold.

did we just drive over an hour (one way!) as Sam’s transplants to explore the world of Costco and buy everything? Yes we did. Why? DEI bitches.

Listen. If Borikén gets free from US empire, I am OUT OF HERE. I'd much rather lend my life to efforts to rebuild the archipelago than stay and fight this bullshit right here. (My preference is of course that the US pay reparations, but we all know that ain't happening.)

SpaceX is actually ACME, isn’t it

Airbnb was a popular choice for many travelers until a recent boycott. How did this popular travel site get put on the do-not-book list? Let’s discuss.

Apparently, I’m once again in a place where I need someone to remind me to take my meds because all the robots I have doing the job of reminding are getting ignored.

Big Tech has lived by, “Move Fast and Break Things.” So they destroyed everything quickly and now we are here. No more. Indigenous practices have always shown us that the way is to Move Slow and Repair Things. Plant, grow, replenish, reparations, regenerate.

so I should limit my scrolling to BlueSky today. fine. hi!

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I still like Threads better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s not that a one-day targeted boycott won’t “do ANYthing.” It won’t affect their pockets or (policies?), but it WILL (can?) bring a whole bunch of people who’ve never met together for a common purpose. And that, in the time of isolation and fear, is something.

@joyannreid.bsky.social was the last good reason to watch cable news. Thank you for all your good work, we know you’ll land somewhere you’re appreciated!!

Empire regards land only as a resource to own and plunder. They view the entirety of Turtle Island and beyond (e.g. Greenland) as an opportunity to exploit. Empire is death.

I resigned today. Then I wrote an email: “In 2014 I became the first Puerto Rican woman to be hired in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department. I was told I was hired to “diversify” the department & remained 1 of a handful of WOC to teach in the dept. since its founding in 1974. 1/

Sharing this great interview with Marsha and Sylvia conducted the year after the Stonewall uprising. They discuss their understanding of themselves as transvestites, transsexuals, and women, but the part of their identity most commonly erased is that of radical revolutionaries

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I want everyone to be happy and experience joy. But what if we decided to collectively NOT buy expensive ass concert tickets and instead donate that money to the ACLU. Or better yet, to feed hungry kids. just sayin’
