If Ashley were white, Grodner wouldn't have undersold her in the edit 🤷 #bb27 The most satisfying outcome to truly one of the most chaotic seasons ever.

I fucking love it here

stress is so bad that i now need PT and dry needling weekly for my jaw and neck 🫠 welcome to year 3 on the tenure track!!!

Me, as Reviewer 2: "The manuscript would be strengthened by adding a description of how the study was conducted beyond 'we did 2 interviews'." Authors, in response:

Love to receive an AERA proposal to review that wholly and completely plagiarizes my intellectual labor and contributions to the field! 🫠

"Ron baby, pleassssse let me come work at your university...DEI? I don't even know her!...ok yes I went out with her a few times but that's over now, I swear! I'll call the cops on students so fast if you just let me come be president!"

is accidentally no-showing therapy because you forgot about it the first sign that your new antidepressant is working?

Who (some of) this actually might apply to: kids who die in school shootings; trans kids killed in hate crimes or who take their own lives; Black kids lost to police brutality; missing & murdered Indigenous girls; the kids lost in Palestine's colonization. You don't actually care about kids, RFK.

Celebrating joy and aliveness where I can - @serxiogonzalez.bsky.social and my article from the inaugural issue of @jqtsie.bsky.social won an award! Thank you to @kamdenstrunk.bsky.social, @sashelton.bsky.social, and @drantonioduran.bsky.social for nominating us. library.vcu.edu/about/news/2...

few things give me more serotonin than watching the same man beat Kyrgios and Djokovic back to back… Botic Van de Zandschulp conquering the assholes of the ATP one by one!

well that was 3.75 hours of my life that i’m not getting back - so here, enjoy a picture of me with the love of my life

the caucasity of adrian brody to say “i’ve won before i know how this works turn off the music i can keep talking”, and then them DOING IT??? i bet halle berry and every other woman of color who has had their speeches cut short just rolled their eyes so hard

the fact that anyone expected any of the people from emilia perez to say anything about trans rights during their acceptance speeches is so comical to me i’m sorry - the film was made by cis white french people capitalizing on transness for clout, not with the intent of being a vehicle of commentary

can someone please tell me the name of the piece of music that played during the in memoriam i am losing my mind trying to place it

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

never have i been more confident in my life that i was just “reviewer 2” ™️ 😭

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art posted this today and it’s still cracking me up

when the world is in flames, buy yourself a suit that Elle Woods would have worn in Legally Blonde.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

This has never been about "protecting women." Cis women have long been used as bargaining tools in death-dealing games. Today, that game eradicating trans people. Not long ago, that game was eradicating accessing reproductive health. This is about CONTROLLING women for patriarchal political gain.

louder for… well, everyone, not just the people in the back this time.

Keeping tabs on clinics and health care systems in Michigan right now. Trans Michiganders and allies, please share this wide and far. We need to know ASAP if orgs are caving to an illegal executive order and potentially violating our state’s civil rights laws.

Late to this, but sending solidarity to my Macquarie colleague Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. An extraordinary attack on the academic freedom of one of this continent’s leading anti-racist scholars

If you're at a Southern university/institution that is closing your LGBTQ or DEI/DEIA offices please reach out to us. We are helping people preserve their department's archival history and will work with you to help ensure folks remain anonymous.

this has been the most emotionally and mentally exhausting week of my professional life, and this is only the start. your trans colleagues can barely keep their eyes open, either because they can’t sleep, they’re swollen from tears, or both. cis ppl - start thinking about how you can share the load.

post your trans timeline to bring some trans joy to yourself

Since higher education, neoliberalism, trans oppression, and the purpose of education are fresh on the collective consciousness, consider reading this new article I co-authored with Dr. Robert Marx at San Jose State University, published in Critical Education: ices.library.ubc.ca/index.php/cr...

Giving a talk next week and I, naturally, had to assemble the most girlypop slide deck imaginable:

the bread was toasted and paired with a divine plate of oven braised chicken thighs in a spicy blueberry mustard sauce. i still have not turned on, and will not turn on, the news.

made a loaf of bread to cope with the temperature, atmospherically (5 degrees) and politically, today 🙂‍↕️

Has anyone ever been recommended an article on Google Scholar that made them want to quit the academy on sight before? Just me?

I went on a Williams-Sonoma shopping spree over the holidays (funded by them - long story, but the short version: NEVER order furniture from west elm!!), and got a bunch of Staub cookware, including my first dutch oven! Send me recipes!! (yes; it’s all purple and pink)

Algorithms of oppression in live AI

doing absolutely positively no work for the past 2 weeks has been so wonderful but now i don’t know how im supposed to go back to… doing work

forcibly watching the gays on CNN, and just had to have a much longer conversation than i ever thought possible to convince my mother that diplo is white…

Love when cishets are so uncomfortable with me having pink hair that they stare at me in public and say “so gross” in front of their elementary school aged children as I walk by! 🥰 Hope neither of those kids have to grow up queer in that household!

Planning your writing calendar for 2025? Consider including us in your plans! @ftmathteacher.bsky.social and I are co-editing a special issue, “Critical Approaches to Queering STEM Education”, through @jqtsie.bsky.social. The quoted thread has all the info you need! Abstracts due 5/30/25.
