Trump has rescinded refugee status of Black and Brown people fleeing violence in their home countries and extended it to...white South Africans, who previously exercised total, brutal, control of that country. My piece on the Trumps and refugees and me. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

Orbital is a beautiful, awe-inspiring book. I read most of it on a plane — as close as I’ll get to orbiting the Earth — hurtling in a metal tube through the sky. I loved the book’s insistence on the global: one earth – one humanity. That planetary view seems more. essential now than ever. #booksky

I think one reason why a lot of women resist feminist insights about the extent and vehemence of men’s misogyny is that they can’t accept how stupid it is.

Love this! Wishing a good morning and really good coffee to my fellow humanities professors (and of all the other empathy-teachers). And maybe a cookie too! ❤️ ☕️ 🍪

Thank you @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social as always. This, this, this: "Until men engage earnestly & honestly with the pervasiveness of sexual assault and the aspects of the culture that celebrate and normalise it, not enough will change." Assault. Abuse. Harassment. Objectification. All of it.

Mona Eltahawy: “I want every revolution to topple not just the statues of the tyrant, but what I call the trifecta of patriarchy – the tyrant who lives in the state, the street and the home. And the hardest revolution of them all is the one at home, because all dictators go home.” 🎯

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

The clock is ticking. Given the pardon of his son, he should now use the powers of the presidency for everyone — and so many people need this relief.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

That describes just about every course I teach. 🤯 “UNT …. administrators demanding an instructor make changes in course content based on the administrative review of a course syllabus or course catalog description, including removal of words such as “race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity”.”

Instead of obsessing, I wrote a long essay on Medium about the election, “Daddy Don,” paternalism, misogyny, and compassion. This is a personal response, but I hope it resonates for some of you as well.

Evergreen, sadly. TLDR; this is an excellent primer on antisemitism that is too long for a post but still shorter than a Seder.
