I got adopted by some cats and now my students know a new way to distract me - ask about the cats

Ever wanted to write about disability and authoritarianism? I'm working on a new anthology about that very topic forms.gle/1GtxJx4sRarj... #CFP #Academicchatter #Disability #Disabiliystudies

I am working on an anthology about disability and authoritarianism. If this seems like something you'd be interested in - check out the CFP! forms.gle/siTMw5DeEGEi... #Disability #Disabilitytheory

Realizing an anthology on disability and anti-authoritarianism might be the way to go Now how to develop an anthology...

Turns out my biggest lesson from getting a PhD was I'm super bad at a lot of stuff

I jokingly asked my fiancé what would he do if I was abducted by aliens, and the fact he did not say 'contact ancient aliens' because it's not ancient was deeply upsetting

It's wild how any time a disabled person says MAID and other euthanasia policies in an ableist society might not be ideal and instead we should prioritize on making a society where disabled people can flourish, the response is that we're being paternalistic

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

Budgets are moral documents. They tell us who matters. #NovaScotia #NSPoli #NSBudget

light reading ✨

You don't watch the news for a few days and all of a sudden it is like Iraq all over again sans the Dick Cheney machinations These machinations seem to be mostly Christian eschatology? Is that why people are mad at the Pope?

Going from academic to trade publishing is a rough time

Why is it snowing again

Friendly reminder, I'm gonna be at Cavalier Books in Lafayette Louisiana Saturday! 5pm-7pm It is free, and we will get to talk about how the law and politicians are not going to save us, but we might could save each other Reserve a space here: bontempstix.com/events/an-ev...

We have read the extract from your story and regret we must agree with your friends, who discourage the idea of your attempting to be a writer.

Being a DM for a game in Louisiana French with no one who has played is great since no one knows I am terrible

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

'Dr Valentine you have ADD?' 'Mes amis it's called joie de vivre'

Thank God I no longer research SOTUs

Getting an r&r is great but I did forget how researching MAID and reading about eugenics was not great for my mental health

I kinda miss George Santos

Goddammit it is time to rewatch some Mr Rogers

Shout gotta be my favorite karaoke song

Giving myself psychic damage reading Project 2025's argument around how protecting people with disabilities means we have to end abortion access and make the Office of Civil Rights no longer investigate discrimination against trans people

SCOTUS is embarrassing

The author of Trump v United States, will not in fact save anyone from authoritarianism The 6-3 decision may be a good one, but never forget their judicial history of supporting authoritarianism, overturning rights, and being generally terrible

Come see me at Cavalier Books in Lafayette Louisiana February 28th 5pm-7pm! cavalierhousebooks.com/event/2026-0...

Incredible time on Gremloe's stream www.twitch.tv/gremloe

Si on parlerait pas français, on est qui? Les cadiens les creoles? On devien simplement Amèricains. L'americainisation était violent et plus important - raciste. Les cadiens ce qu'il boudaient à cause de leur culture perdre, mais ils disaient les trucs plein de haïn de bad bunny. C'est racist.

My laptop doesn't have French accent capabilities. Mais - in honor of Mardi Gras - my favorite Cajun phrase is Faites quelque chose trop amusant/scandaloux/n'importe quoi ce que les prêtres aura jaloux de toi Y'all better earn tes chatiments

What if ICE simple did not exist

Friends don't let friends use AI. justsayno.ao

Being a hater is pretty great in the age of AI

I cannot wait to come to Louisiana and talk about some leftist theory bontempstix.com/events/an-ev...

One week to go! I'm nervous, I'm excited, and I'm desperate need of a sandwich.

Don got arrrested for journalism and not for his gumbo recipe? Now I guess I got to read his coverage

ICE murdering innocent people is not a surprise when xenophobic violent racist rhetoric has become increasingly accepted over the years and right wing extremist narratives have been platformed in 'reputable' news sources

“The court’s patience is at an end”

Next week we'll be doing a mailbag episode, so drop us a reply here or send an email to [email protected] with your questions!

Hey all, if you're like me, you've probably been wondering how you can help people in Minnesota. A reached out to some friends and they recommended giving money to either the Immigrant Law Center or any of the mutual aid orgs listed on Stand With Minnesota. I'll be giving to both. Links below

Being at DC for a queer event was incredible Leaving and seeing armed National Guard members at Union station - not so much

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

The book sold out every copy! Baltimore really is the city that reads

Tonight 6pm come to Bird in Hand to hear about my book! The law is an insufficient tool for liberation, and it will not end fascism or authoritarianism. What will liberate us is our obligations towards one another #Baltimore #Politicaltheory www.theivybookshop.com/event/riley-...

Whomst amongst us is not new boot goofin

I am not shocked about Minneapolis. It is entirely unsurprising that ICE murdered an innocent person. I am shocked that Democrats are acting as though voting for them will 'fix' this.

it simply cannot go on like this. and it cannot be the case that going on like this is a regular feature of electoral cycles either. something has to be done about the violent white nationalist movement.

7 days into the year and so far in the US and we got violations of international law and murdering civilians Not boding well

i cannot bring myself to watch the video of the woman breaking down because she just saw her wife murdered by ICE right in front of her

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
