Seen in the wild today in Portland, ME! @lalouverouge.bsky.social & @seanobrien.bsky.social’s The Return of the 90s, in which brilliant contributors—incl many of YOU—examine the contemporary fascination w/ a decade in which I personally, weirdly, never stopped living emotionally & psychologically

What’s that line again? “I refuse to join any club that would have a rapist as a member”?

My book Shadow of My Shadow is about harassment ecologies, institutional gaslighting. If you like criticism/theory & want writing that can hold a range of feelings provoked by the whole Platner thing, this might be a book for you. It's not a hot take. www.dukeupress.edu/shadow-of-my...

I feel moved and grateful beyond words by this beautiful, precise, generous, and politically generative review of my book by comrades Flora Arnold and Lauren Hough for @proteanmag.com. proteanmag.com/2026/07/08/s...

Sharing this beautiful review of @anniemcc.bsky.social’s Beneath the Wage for @proteanmag.com , written by Flora Arnold and Lauren Hough. A real honor as F & L were two of my first graduate students, who recently graduated and are already doing such great things 🫶 proteanmag.com/2026/07/08/s...

The late communist poet (and woman smoker) Leijia Hanrahan’s posthumous works have been brought together in this beautiful edited collection by @illwill.bsky.social I was very honored to write the introduction. You can order it now here: store.illwilleditions.com/products/lik...

the most important thing about a woman sharing the worst thing that ever happened to her with the world is that you use it to dunk on all the other women who criticized you

the appearance of solidarity among these lib/left men thru an admiration for this kind of masculinity too is on my mind

for example, I did not have the spidey sense that there would be more Platner allegations 48 hours after posting this, but I didn't need to in order to anticipate it

That Caroline Calloway essay is toxic waste.

“What happens when U.S. capitalism simply needs fewer humans?” @sarahljaffe.bsky.social on automated taxis, AI, ICE raids, data centers and the rebellions taking shape against a system that treats workers, migrants and whole communities as disposable.

I’ve been looking for long-term stable employment in academia for longer than Louis CK was cancelled

My phone just autocorrected “Spinozist” into “apologist.”

as always one must understand that when they say "women's safety" or "children's safety," they mean "protecting cis men's property from contamination or property damage." they mean "asset safety."

Had a great week celebrating the release of The Return of the 90s with my co-editor and comrade @seanobrien.bsky.social 💜💜💜 You can buy the book at your local bookstore or from @plutopress.bsky.social: www.plutobooks.com/product/the-...

When I hear the word “embodiment,” before any academic discourse I’ve been exposed to in the last two decades, I think of a hippie who once tried to hump me at a hot springs.

Very happy to contribute to Madeline Lane-McKinley’s and Sean O’Brien’s The Return of the ‘90s! I wrote about Ice Cube, the “super-predator” discourse criminalizing Black & Brown youth, and its legacy in fueling the Movement for Black Lives and some of the rap music that came out in the 2010s.

Shout out to A24 for building its reputation off of incredibly talented filmmakers, having a great marketing team to convince people that it was A24 that was making the films they were distributing and then absolutely selling those filmmakers out to get in on the worst thing possible for filmmakers.

Me and @seanobrien.bsky.social talked about the 90s with @thisisdavemaher.bsky.social on This is Your Afterlife, including my adolescent obsession with smoking cigarettes (and later cigars) at diners.

Was there a point about ten years ago when a large portion of film and cultural critics secretly convened and made a shared agreement to start mispronouncing the word “biopic”?

Next week in Oakland, we’ll be celebrating the publication of Return of the 90s — a book I edited with @seanobrien.bsky.social, out June 20th from @plutopress.bsky.social! Join us and contributors like @alyaimsorry.bsky.social for a mixer at the Tamarack on Tuesday 6/16 at 9pm.

I wrote about shutting down Delaney Hall (with reference to the forthcoming book HOW TO CLOSE A CAMP)

Let’s start a school where we can abolish higher education but in the good way.

Deus is mocking ya

i really wish people would stop responding to shitty censorious moderation by loudly declaring that children should be banned from social media anyway so that the internet can be an adult-only space. you understand that's literally the exact same policy as age verification, right?

Repression makes you boring

In the last 48 hours, The New School has fired almost two dozen colleagues in humanities and social sciences, many of them tenured faculty of color, and multiple staff members, including in social justice.

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

Abolish adulthood. That includes parental rights. Here’s a book about it: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2610-s...

A young teen organized a march yesterday against two proposed AI data centers in Vancouver, which is facing water restrictions & housing crisis. The first project will be at former Hootsuite headquarters. Hootsuite is also facing opposition for a pilot ICE contract. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dreams do come true. I reviewed Annie McClanahan's Beneath the Wage in Spectre. My thanks to editors @grundrza.bsky.social and Camila Valle.

Abolishing the grading system would be pretty convenient right now.

Please consider donating to Budding Roses—a rad youth liberationist group in Portland. They offer a free summer camp for middle schoolers, including meals, for two weeks every summer. The second week is led by youth. Truly inspired by their work. givebutter.com/buddingroses

Really enjoyed doing this interview about the book with @publicseminar.bsky.social! publicseminar.org/2026/04/inte...

"where are the student encampments?" here you go!

LA — I’ll be doing a book talk on Solidarity with Children next Saturday at 7pm. Would love to see you there. Thanks so much to Public School LA and the LA Tenants Union for hosting me!

Abuse of children is a systemic feature of our world. We have a political responsibility to reckon with this.
