please, please. not another "magazine about the labor of ..." on Substack ... we're so tired ... the call is coming from inside the rent-stabilized apartment ...

craaaaaaazzzieeee little free library pull

in NYC? when hospitals end trans youth care programs, it’s time to ask mamdani about his platform: “…hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable—hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution.” www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

The bottom line is that NYC Public Libraries need increased and most importantly STABLE funding annually. Mayor Mamdani promised both and this preliminary budget is a BROKEN PROMISE. There’s time for him to rectify this. NYC library patrons expect that he will.

OK, let’s discuss what’s happened with the proposed NYC public libraries budget for FY 27. Mayor Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov released his preliminary budget yesterday. This kicks off the city budget process. [Long thread]

gf has to keep reminding me that the movie we’re seeing tomorrow will not have the Kate Bush song in it

pay attention to what’s happening at art schools right now

My article about Minnie Bruce Pratt and North Carolina’s place in lesbian-feminist history is out! Read it here (limited gift link) www.tandfonline.com/eprint/K9Q4K...

mood ...

Excited to announce our next two books will be through @haymarketbooks.org: first, All Care for All People, on how to end the healthcare crisis and defeat ascendant health fascism; next, Stay Alive Another Week, a @deathpanel.bsky.social reader

The arts are a public good on the same level as education, healthcare, housing, transportation, and public safety. Housing reform, cultural funding equity, and fair wages for artists and cultural workers must all be tackled intersectionally to enable New York City's arts sector to thrive.

general advice from a still recovering from covid person, pace yourselves today, this will all still be happening after you get some rest, and you need it

trans power!!!!

“… I’m trying to remember the absolute truth [that] a life in bed is also a life worth living.”

so I watched the new Hallmark lesbian Christmas movie last night, A CHRISTMAS BABY, and today I am watching a new one called THE CHRISTMAS WRITER on Tello (a sapphic movie streaming app, though I just bought the movie on my Apple TV) some gay thoughts:

apropos of nothing what a great media enterprise to support

All the centers they’re cutting add up to less than $7 million in spending. UNC athletics budget is $185.4 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

great @eddysarah.bsky.social on the work of Durham artist & gay rights activist Allan Troxler: his paper cuts w titles like 'Earth Heart' & ruminations like "Seems to me that one big difference between the revolutionary and the fascist is that one tries to understand his own heart and one doesn’t."

“a city that working people can love and live in again”

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

and I’ve always said that

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is [email protected] and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.

Good evening from Queens. New York is not for sale.

I feel like this is going to have some drastic repercussions on the other three grad programs in the state

There is so much bad news on micro and macro levels lately, I will share a little personal win. Here is a sneak peek at a very early dummy of the interior layout for my book "The House Archives Built, and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibility," upcoming from @wehere.bsky.social press.

on this note I am l👀king for some good critical writing on this year’s Williamstown 👀👀

"In the aftermath of its censorship and dissolution of the next cohort and my job, the Whitney has now set up a working group to discuss the 'future' of the program. The irony, of course, is that the future of the ISP, and even its legacy, is precisely what the museum has so thoroughly compromised."

👁️‍🗨️ 〰️ it's #witmonth, my favorite month 〰️ 👁️‍🗨️ looking for recs for translated series/multi-volume sets. On the Calculation of Volume is on my list; just read Debré's Playboy; what else? I have Ferrante tattoos, so don't worry, I've read literally everything by Miss Diva Elena

most of the time I forget I have Bluesky (is this healing?) but rn I’m here to brag

"A return to the normalcy of 2019 is a death cult, a fever dream—it is not a sustainable option for anyone in this ongoing pandemic. Disabled or not, those who aren’t taking precautions against COVID infection are living on borrowed time." thisisrachel.substack.com/p/a-trip-to-...
