Today was a big UK book release day for @politybooks.bsky.social's @aoir.bsky.social authors. Congratulations, @halavais.bsky.social!

This book is SO GOOD.

It's publication day! (In the UK.) @politybooks.bsky.social www.wiley.com/en-ae/Gender...

It's launch week in the UK for my book, Gender and Technology: An Introduction. Don't miss out on this stocking stuffer, people on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean from me! www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

Tarantino’s big mistake is that anyone who watches enough movies to have an opinion on Paul Dano loves the kind of movies Paul Dano acts in

shout out to my grandmother’s stuffing recipe for containing such helpful instructions as ‘cook it til it’s done’ and ‘pour broth til it looks right’

It's the post-Ryan Walters era here! "Oklahoma Supreme Court tosses Bible lawsuit after education leader declines to enforce mandate" • Oklahoma Voice share.google/t9ZsZfxiVUrl...

I got the best undergrad education double majoring in poli sci & history while living at home & going to the U of Iowa, and to the U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's pioneering program in media studies for my PhD. Top land grant universities. Such crucial resources.

Post a movie where you are from

seeing how many people show up in jeffery epstein's emails makes me happy i never reply to anyone's email

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Just now at my Tulsa Walmart Neighborhood Market there were people speaking Spanish, and the customer service employee who helped me with a return was a transgender woman with the cutest unicorn tattoo. And everyone seemed totally ok with it. In Oklahoma. It's fine, people!

I miss being with everyone in Brazil at #AoIR2025, but remote participation removes the stress of trying to decide which panel to attend! The answer is always the one set up for remote participation. So far, those panels have been excellent. Great work, @aoir.bsky.social and local committee!

Using this opportunity to shout out the fantastic work of @wsuares.bsky.social at FOX25 in OKC. I'm in Tulsa, and her reporting has been crucial. Also remember outside the largest markets local FOX affiliates AREN'T owned by FOXNews. That includes Tulsa's excellent FOX23. Support local journalism!

If you see headlines claiming NASA's found life on Mars - these are new studies of features in rocks which, if they were on Earth, look like the kind of thing caused by microorganisms. But they could very well - are most probably in fact - be caused by chemistry, not biology.

Aliassime d. Zverev 4-6 7-6 6-4 6-4 Felix is into the Round of 16 at the U.S. Open for the first time since 2021. He was 2-6 against Sascha coming into this match, and hadn't beaten him since 2022. ✅9th Slam R16 ✅20th career top 10 win What a performance 🇨🇦

One of the only things I miss about Twitter is Tennis Twitter, but reading comments this morning after watching last night's match gives me hope for #TennisSky. #USOpen

I just saw the back cover text for my forthcoming book, and I have to say that @nancybaym.bsky.social @kylzjarrett.bsky.social & @alicetiara.bsky.social, you are the absolute best. I love you! I will miss seeing all of you in Rio this fall (if all of you are going to @aoir.bsky.social, that is).

I can't go back to the other place, but I do miss Tennis Twitter. I just tuned in to the Cincinnati Open match between Norrie & Bautista Agut and searched Bluesky to find out what's going on with Norrie. Cramping, I assume? The latest post is from 3 days ago. C'mon, #TennisSky! Help.

Being old means getting to live through so many satanic panics, each one more delightful than the last.

Is it possible that I work in public education (tho the higher kind) in the state in question? Might I kind of, sort of have a bit of a vested interest in this story? I don't post political content, but this is really a personal interest story, right? nondoc.com/2025/07/25/b...

Imagine it's me in this SNL sketch not BÖC and Christopher Walken is a voice in my head as I was writing my book. And instead of saying "More cowbell" that voice was saying "More commas." Then you will understand the experience I'm having reading page proofs and trying to figure out what went wrong.

People keep following me, but I'm really mostly a lurker here. I mean, yesterday I watched the thriller "Berlin Syndrome" and was mildly triggered by an early shot of the U-Bahn, where I lost my coat in 2016 while riding with @miac.bsky.social & @mavery.bsky.social. Is this the content people want?

This is heartbreaking to watch. Sinner being such a good guy.

hollykruse.com is back. There's nothing there yet except for links to my books on publisher webpages: @mitpress.bsky.social, @politybooks.bsky.social (sort of) & Peter Lang. There's nothing about my dogs or horse(s), which is a sure sign that this website is totally a work in progress 🚧.

Oh, and also "key people in relevant interest groups, think tanks, or activist networks."

I'm filling out author promotion form for my Gender & Tech book (ocean.exacteditions.com/issues/12086...) & am stymied by questions in the "(Non-Academic) Media & Publicity" asking for info on my contacts in the media and info on specialist media outlets. Ideas? Help! Tagged people in 1st comment.

Humbly, as one of the few scholars of such tubez, I'm up to talk about this and also never talk to CNN Business about the the hyperloop ever again.

💗

If you're tagged in the comments, you may be contacted with a request to blurb this book, thanks to the monster list I provided, and for that I'm sorry. I think? Remember that "no" is a complete sentence. But you're all so awesome that I had to include you.

💗😥

No Other Land doesn't have a US distributor, but you can see it in Tulsa at the indie cinema.

You can subscribe to Wired for a mere $10 for the first year. Just FYI.

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?

In these times, I thought that it might be a good idea to share a photo of a very good boy, Semper Fi.

"Nearly a thousand students walked out of class on Friday supporting immigration rights and protesting deportation efforts. "In less than two weeks, nearly ten Tulsa schools have held walkouts for the same reason."

I cannot tell you how much an imminent @politybooks.bsky.social book deadline is allowing me to mostly shut out currents events by not being online, except to find out things like how to cite Ban Zhao's circa 80 CE essay "Lessons for Women" in Chicago style. 100% recommend this approach.

I've mostly been off social media for weeks trying to finish my gender & tech book manuscript by the Feb 3 deadline. I cancelled classes yesterday & today to work on it. (That's right. I'm heading to Venus. Do people even listen to the lyrics to this song?)

Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts: “Australia Believes Olya and Brenda! Australia Believes Olya and Brenda!” Broke through the silence. #AusOpen

Tomorrow is my 1st day of real teaching in an undergrad media law class since the late 1990s, and I'm planning on showing a 30-minute-documentary on the Magna Carta and Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm Just a Bill." In other words, I am killing it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8p...

1st day teaching media law since the late 90s & realizing the danger of class turning into me talking about stuff like what to do when someone posts on the listserv you run that all the Irish Setters in the best of breed ring at Westminster were dyed. Because this is how we learn about libel.

Over the last five days, we’ve been witnessing remarkable, even miraculous mutual aid happening all over the city of Los Angeles—but esp. Altadena—, done by ordinary Angelenos, some also fire victims, who care deeply about their city and it’s ppl. We’ve shared those experiences here. Take a look—

Look. I'm just going to keep re-posting (re-skeeting?) this until I finish writing this damn book manuscript, and let me tell you, time is running out.

Still doing this.

Does it get any more real than me, lying here with a headache, reading the results from my blood draw earlier today online, finally watching The Substance? No?

About immigrants. Right now the LA Fires are seven miles from Santa Anita racetrack. The track stables a huge number of Thoroughbred racehorses. Do you know who is staying with the horses, knowing what might happen? Their grooms etc., who are mostly immigrants. God bless and protect them all. 🐎

Still sharing this.

Probably sharing this every day.
