I expected this book to be a light summer read. What I got was very different! Virginia Woolf, you will be hearing from my lawyers!

Suing the estate of James Joyce; was led to believe by the cover that there would be a heroic adventure featuring Ulysses rather than some tosser walking around Dublin for the day

"It is difficult to write a conclusion to this chapter, because so much of the sociopolitical situation in the United Kingdom -regarding all aspects of colonial cisnationalism - remains very much in flux," says I. ('Colonial cisnationalism' is @chris-brighton.bsky.social 's coinage, isn't it good?)

Right-wing Israeli politicians use stylish accessories to express support for a bill that would make the death penalty mandatory for Palestinians found guilty of killing Israeli citizens.

This is the post of @chris-brighton.bsky.social 's from which I nicked 'colonial cisnationalism' as the title of my UK chapter, btw. blogs.lse.ac.uk/gender/2024/...

Here, I wrote something. "It is incumbent on the Irish government and the Irish public to fulfil the promise of the nation and to continue to fight any transphobic and neocolonial encroachment on Irish shores." dflw.ie/trans-rights...

"Yes, there are binary things in our biology, but to say that human beings come in two different types is false. And we can prove it."

What forms of inclusion and exclusion does neurodiversity perform as a concept, field, and movement? How may lines of queer, trans, crip, decolonial, posthumanist, or Mad thinking shake up and overspill the conventional boundaries of neurodiversity? Please join us for this important discussion! 🔥

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

"Drawing on a corpus of over 15,000 scholarly articles published between 1800 and 2024, we map the linguistic landscape of eugenics in scholarly discourse to reveal its institutional, scientific, and sociopolitical entrenchment" dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Over two decades ago, a Labour government repealed “Section 28” which aimed to prevent positive discussions about homosexuality and gay lives in schools. Now a Labour government pursues transphobia and erases trans and non-binary lives. Today’s political transphobia is basically recycled homophobia.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

To give an example of just one connection between Trans Studies and deconstruction, here are some thoughts about 🔔Clang🔔, the recent translation of Derrida's Glas by David Wills and Geoffrey Bennington (W&B).

Hello internet, poet Caitie Moore wrote a crystalline elegy following the pulse nightclub shooting that is scrubbed from the internet because the online publication folded. Looking ahead to the ten year anniversary in June it should be republished where a lot of people can read it forever

The trans challenge to common sense is part of an epistemic revolution that has genuinely decolonial potential. Now is not the time to return to positivism, essentialism, and other "little conservatisms"!

This conversation between Rosaura Martínez-Ruiz and @danielloick.bsky.social is really instructive in showing why abjection (and other European concepts of constitutive exclusion) must be carefully rethought for understanding structures of violence in the Global South. #AcademicSky #polphil #polisci

"By paying closer attention to the hatred of surplus populations in contemporary global fascisms, we can see another dimension of authoritarian domination: not just objectification—disposing the other—but also abjection, disposing of the other."
