The pronatalists have done an excellent job of using bad demography to convince the legacy media that low birth rates are a crisis. They are using bad demography to whitewash their sexism, racism, Christian nationalism, classism, & anti-LGBTQ sentiments. It’s why my colleagues & I wrote this:

I had a wonderful time at the ASR this weekend in Chicago! What a treat to have such wonderful scholars read, think, and talk a little bit about my book. Getting to see The Bean *does* come in a close second place for highlight of the weekend. #sociology #academicsky

Here is it! The Season 1 Line up! We are less than one week out from going live and I am *very* excited to get this show on the road. 💅🏼 Follow along for more info on IG @ butisitfeminist #butisitfeminist #feminism #feminist #podcast #academia #academic #sociology

I am doing my first ever Author Meets Critic this weekend as author. To say I am nervous is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Authors, what do you wish you knew going into your first AMC? Any advice? Sincerely, Shaking in My Boots #academicsky #academia #sociology #ASR2025

In Intro to Soc last term students led a discussion on book banning. They brought up The Handmaid's Tale and what messages in it motivate banning it. A young man stated that it *should* be banned because we shouldn't be assigning books about human trafficking and sexual violence. 🫠

But *is it feminist*?! Join me on my journey to find ask! 😂 #academic #academicsky #academia #feminist #feminism

Anyone have any experience troubleshooting the Taylor & Francis submission portal because I feel like I am going to scream, loolll #academicsky #academic #academia

A brilliant friend and colleague sharing her important work on Christian disaffiliation!

lol, we're fucked, bro

Ep 326 of Classical Ideas features a conversation with Dr. Celene Ibrahim about fertility, abortion, reproductive care and its relation to Islam! Listen: linktr.ee/classicalideas @sacredwrites.bsky.social

Listen to me talk about my book! Thanks so much, @gregsoden.bsky.social!!

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

Supreme Court upholds Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

I hope you all had a well-hydrated and safe Saturday! 🥹

Dr. Sohini Sarah Pillai joined me on episode 324 to discuss her project "Epic Bollywood: Religion and Representation in Modern Indian Cinema." Thanks so much to @sohinipillai.bsky.social and @sacredwrites.bsky.social! Listen: linktr.ee/classicalideas

Have we tried blasting “Where Is The Love” by the Black Eyed Peas really - and I mean REALLY - loud?

Received my royalties statement on my book. 45 copies sold from mid-Sept release to Dec 31, 2024. NOT BAD! 😂 #academicsky #socAF

Unfortunately, I can't resist a reading recommendation. Several tabs now open 😅

Wow, why did we all get this? I got told the year before I started grad school (I was a young mom) that I could be a good mom OR a good scholar, but not both. A decade later I have to say, I feel like I’m pretty good at both! 💅🏼

Dr. Noor Abdalla will be spending her first Mother's Day as a mom without her husband Mahmoud Khalil, who is still locked up hundreds of miles away from her in ICE detention. He should be holding his son who he hasn't met yet, but he is instead detained without due process by the U.S. government.

Why advocate for systemic reform that protects families, children, and mothers when you can just go to brunch that a mom planned?! Happy Mother’s Day! 🤪 Also, I will be giving my mother a gift. I don’t have a death wish! #HappyMothersDay

Faculty baddies 💅🏼 I have the best colleagues. #academicsky

Yes, I am! 😤

I’ve had a manuscript somewhere for the entire academic year. I *know* peer-review takes time but I am feeling really discouraged. I can’t get tenure on doing reviews. I know you’re overwhelmed. We all are. But please do some reviews. Please return them on time. #academicsky #academicchatter

I am the star of my own show 😂

Summer plans planned! Coffee hot! Books ordered! I am ready for a low pressure summer of DOING MY BEST that also includes lots of lazy mornings reading poolside and naps. And cheese. 🤭

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

BIG if true

Its swimsuit season, I whisper, eating another swimsuit

Watching a documentary about Irish history and learned about the origins of the phrases “beyond the pale” and “boycott” 🤯

we will never let you edit posts. you must wear each typo as an albatross. you will bear the weight of your hubris

@godpod.bsky.social I thought you were an abolitionist 😫 Our relationship just keeps getting more complicated!

🧵: My research on the ways Christian women think about and engage feminism can help us understand why Whitney thinks making vibrator content is a feminist win for Mormon women. Spoiler: It isn’t. 1/6 #Feminist #Academia #MormonWives #ButIsItFeminist

Counter-argument: You should use Sinners to springboard yourself into some other Black American horror like the following

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives new season cannot be here soon enough. They scratch the specific part of brain obsessed with feminism, white girls, and religion. Looking forward to the mess and *The Discourse.*

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

I don’t say these words lightly, but thank God. Kilmar, his family, and all the men we’ve seen the pictures of have been on my mind and I am so, so thankful he is alive.

Can uh, they just pick me up?

When will we, as a culture, be ready to talk about ✨the ways in which✨ we disrespected JC Chasez?

So much to love about my time at #SSS2025 but I think my highlight was it was my first time traveling as a faculty member with students. Their presentations, questions, reflections, and engagement filled me with pride. 🥲

Whirlwind day 1 of #SSS2025 I learned about liberation, technology, AI, methodology, green space, and SO MUCH MORE! I’m also wildly proud of my talented RA who presented her first conference presentation. She did SO GOOD. 🥹😭
