I know therapy works because is over 100 today and my body hasn’t reverted back to desiring to die like everyday of the 5 years I spent in Phoenix.

Here's our list of 250 books on why America's 250th birthday is nothing to celebrate: bookshop.org/lists/250-bo...

Today we are all Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 And if for some reason you needed more rationale to root for them, this masterpiece released right before the world cup is 🤌

Trans women are women, trans women will always be women, end of story

Once again screaming for the dc metro to connect to Baltimore city 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Apparently I have lost all my ability to flirt with femmes and I feel very strongly that I gotta get it back.

just logged in today and a bunch of bots followed me???

Queer New Yorkers are fighting for Riis Beach as a developer with Israeli government ties plans a private beach club.

10. To the ones we loved in Orlando and to the ones still dancing.

Good morning. Your periodic reminder that this city is queer af and it’s free to read all about it.

🐷🙅‍♀️🤝🫂

MD’s public pension system divested ~85% of the Israeli sovereign bonds it held last year. That's >$62 MILLION divested from Israeli bonds. But the work is not over. Join our rally on 6/13 at McKeldin Plaza to demand FULL divestment and read the full press release here: www.cair.com/press_releas...

America 250 events have officially kicked off in DC. We’ve put together a guide on what it is, how it will impact folks in DC — especially our unhoused neighbors — & what you can do to help them! 🧵1/9

Anyway, free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

A tattoo artist whose books I've tried to get on for a decade (???) responded positively to my latest submission. And Pokemon go has released new showcases in my neighborhood. Best Tuesday ever!?!

My cat thinks she can just annoy me and then later I won’t annoy her right back. She looks at me like wtf bro and I’m like you started this shit.

3 days left to submit!! We already have some incredible abstracts but we desire even more ways to get dirty with yall.

CFP!! Society for the Study of Affect's MAKE conference in Vancouver: October 23-25, 2026. Consider submitting your proposals to any one of 26 streams. But I am particularly partial to number 8...we are looking for some very dirty submissions! Send it to us by May 29! Links to follow:

Spending time in the bay again and already feeling a bit healed by the energy that is so unique and palpable to this place ✨🖤

See his great joy at this.

Final keyword presentations in my intro to cultural studies class included "imperialism" (whole project is about Gaza) "aesthetic" (big focus on mar a lago face & white nationalism) and "theorist" (hierarchies of knowledge, who gets to be deemed a theorist). I think it was a successful term.

One thing I want work on is bumping into students at shows. It's awkward and its only because I make it awkward 🫠

Hack student loans next

See for instance: the collapse of the gender studies program and the forced hiatus of the cultural studies major (though, not the program) at my uni in a 'very blue' state.

Radical bookstores don’t just sell books. In Chicago, Baltimore, and beyond, they host book clubs, training sessions, meetings, jail support work, and organizing that can shape entire movements. New from @leftiecowboy.bsky.social

chatbots seem built for dudes who think the stripper actually likes them

Everyday revolution grows closer.

People are asking ChatGPT things I would normally just ask a friend, parent, mentor, therapist or medical professional for or about. It takes work to build and maintain those relationships, and figure out who is the right person to ask, but the alternative is a digital tool known for lying to users.

This is a devastating loss. Now more than ever, if you are at any institution, we must continue to fight for critical pedagogies and approaches to humanist inquiry. And never, ever comply in advance.

P sure Ellie (7F, blue tortie), who runs this house, is for sure a homophobe who only puts up with 2 homosexuals because we feed her.

Nice that there's still space and desire for wonder in the world.

"It took Israel only 10 minutes to carry out one of the worst mass-killings in Lebanon since the end of the country’s civil war in 1990." “..what I’m most sad about is that my pretty Lebanon, our beautiful Lebanon, soon it will all be brought down to the ground.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

But here’s the thing: killing begets killing & genocide more genocide. Israel & US (under Democrats) partnered to wipe out Palestinians using these same “radical” justifications, so why are we shocked they’re doing the same to Iran under this monster?

You laugh but LSU still, STILL, keeps a tiger in captivity. www.mikethetiger.com

What a joy it was to review @e-bumps.bsky.social's latest for QJS. Highly recommend Minor Troubles: Racial Figurations of Youth Sexuality and Childhood Queerness to any human who has ever felt the deep, deeeep cuts of being a queer and/or trans child. Free copies of the review here:

Occupation is strongest when it is normalized. They are not trying to terrorize you (unless you’re a target) at the airport because the point is to normalize their presence and occupation.

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

Not that anyone #onhere cares about my feelings about NCA, but the fact that the org is requiring membership to review conference submissions is laughable! More critically, NCA for YEARS has shown a pattern of attempting to DISCIPLINE the field. Stop engaging with it. It’s a garbage organization.

Mmmmummmmmhmmmmm.

"We are at war, and thousands of people are dead. We are at war, and we are complaining about high gas prices and long lines at the airport. We are at war, and running late for our next appointment." organizingmythoughts.org/the-zombie-d...

Fuck work. Do art

Non-tenure-track contract faculty at NYU went on strike this morning after over a year of bargaining (capped by a 24-hour+ marathon session). Big crowd of @uaw.org members and supporters, incl lots of students. They’re picketing over pay, workload, AI, a voice in faculty governance, & more.

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

Making this skeet the cover photo of my syllabus in the fall.

I think this is a reasonable (as in, not radical) way for elective officials to show up. Literally just do this. This is *baseline* of what they should be before you vote for them. Good for Judge Mustafa Kasubhai. And yay for gender expansive folks in Oregon!
