Uh oh I agreed to too many writing things

Shoutout to Baltimore's Chesapeake Shakespeare Theater I thought my tickets were for Saturday, they were for the Friday before, but they found me and my partner free seats and we were able to see a Christmas Carol opening night! Much love to Charm City

Les maris ne savent pas nager gives similar vibes to Piranesi (well so far unless it ends up being like Les mauvaises anges)

Les mauvaises anges was not a love story turns out But if you do want to stay up all night horrorrified - perfect

I saw St. Thérèse relics today and St. Francis relics will be in Maryland during Advent? Is this time just relic season?

@zanemcneill.bsky.social and I will be speaking December 4th, 6pm at @redemmas.org with Trans Maryland Spoiler alert - I am not optimistic in liberal legal strategies as a way to ensure human dignity

I only have meetings in Blade Runner lighting (It helps me not have head aches and trigger seizures)

If Books Could Kill is justifying my hatred of Sapiens

Thank you Alice Wong

Well my credit card may have gotten stolen last night, but I also got an acceptance of my abstract to a book on vulnerability So that's a strange mixture of emotions

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

ICE being on Linkedin was unexpected

I would like to say I am immune to bullying but then @zanemcneill.bsky.social convinces me to work on a new book project smdh

I have never had a dream worthy of a citation and I'm disappointed in myself

I have a feeling liberals who want to uphold the system are more likely to hate my book than the fascists who hate me for existing

Reviewer two has entered the room

Come see me talk about my new book, The Coercive Power of the Law, that delves into why the law will not save us from fascism: Richmond, December 6 Small Town Friends Baltimore, January 10 Bird in Hand Atlanta, (virtual!) January 23 Charis Lafayette, February 28 Cavalier Books

Sure the Reagan thing was great but remember Dick Cheney being booed while doing a baseball toss thing? Let's bring back booing elected officials

We need to bring back booing I miss Dick Cheney getting booed at a baseball event Can we have more booing?

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

It is a weird experience watching fascism spread and know I still have to go to work and pay my rent

C'est bizarre à regarder des personnes adopter l'IA sans critique, mais tous les techniciens (que je les connais) l'usent pas. Oh well. J'sus vraiment un Luddite

@zanemcneill.bsky.social talk at Firestorm helped alleviate some of my anxiety and reminded me of organizing at Occupy and the long lasting coalitions created from Occupy

Everytime SCOTUS hears a case I like to take a few moments to boo

Being anti-war right now feels a lot like being anti-war during the Iraq War except now I'm an adult and war crimes aren't on the news but are on social media

Nothing like a 'your VNS has 8% battery left so you need to make time' to force me to make time to talk to the surgeon Gross

I highly recommend this book, not sure when or if it will be translated into English though... www.iris-france.org/gerard-hadda...

God I love Zoologist perfumes

Anyway, Les Revenanta (le serie) m'a fait trop effrayant à dormir 😭😭

Vous autres fasse une tite sieste, comme un cadeau pour toi-même

This talk situates these developments within the FBI’s long history of surveilling leftist movements, LGBTQ organizations, and liberation activists, and explores how current policy priorities continue that legacy. firestorm.coop/events/3478-...

New favorite activity is booing every time a pundit revises a bigoted person post-mortem and tries to frame them as a normal and fine voice Normalizing right wing authoritarianism is no good

Just confirmed I'm one of the author victims of the blood sucking company Anthropic that stole my book to train it's LLM. I filed a claim and it felt really good. If you're an author who may have been victimized, you can find out here: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/?_gl=...

Weird how the free speech people keep labeling work that criticizes the State as terrorism and needing to be suppressed

My students asked me if I have any beef with other political theorists / writers, and really it's only @zanemcneill.bsky.social

I will do most things if I can be convinced that 1) it'll be a good time 2) if it isn't a good time, it'll be a great story so far moving to Baltimore has been a bit of both

Need to boost my seizure thresh hold after staring into a glowing orb for hours

20 years ago I had my first seizure I just received my third epilepsy disorder diagnosis (there are many different types of epilepsy) Thinking about writing about disability and diagnosis, diagnoses can change the way I understand myself and the world, and it no doubt shapes how the world sees me

The problmlem with watching Reno911 after a glass of wine, is going to the Reno subreddit and then reading months of posts about Burners being horrible and learning about Mexican Japanese fusion restaurants I need to go to Reno

The most rad and timely book ever is coming out in a few months 🤯🫣❤️😎 link.springer.com/book/9783032... @rileyval.bsky.social

Keep an eye out for these fliers going up around Seton Hill in the near future, and maybe even come join us on the tour! fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#s...

Learning about what fascists don't want you to know is antifascist

Wild that trans people are violent terrorists now, when I have spent my entire life involved in nonviolent movement work But Food Not Bombs was a terrorist group so I guess it makes sense
