Es ist schon seit Trumps executive order am 20. Januar soweit, das Auswärtige Amt hat nur endlich mal reagiert… plus hat sich die Lage gerade gestern (siehe geleaktes Dokument) drastisch verschärft

Do not travel to the US if you’re trans, inter, or non-binary.

1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry. A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Preliminary thoughts on the German election results so far: 1) Chasing the far right vote by demagoguing on migration has brought the CDU/CSU it's second worst performance in history. It's in first place, but it's a weaker result than anything Merkel posted.

@ elections in Germany today

All I want for C̡h̡r̡i̡s̡t̡m̡a̡s̡ my birthday today is for you to vote for human rights and human dignity for each and all - and then move your beautiful buttocks every day towards freeing those who are not free yet, until they are as free as you are as of this moment.

Wer wissen will, wie man mit mindestens 4 Jahren konservativer Stillstandsspolitik mit Sozial- und Kulturabbau, Durchsetzung von Konzerninteressen und dem feigen Kuschen vor Nazis durchstehen soll: Fragt die, die sich in den Achtzigern und Neunzigern durch die Kohl-Ära gequält haben: 1/6

love it when philos-l distributes an email with the modest subject “am I a prophet?”

Who’s going to Social Ontology 2025? My book panel was accepted 🥰

Talia Mae Bettcher’s recent article is a must-read. Where are all the fence-sitting philosophers now that the anti-trans talking heads they both-sides’d for years are revelling in their victory against trans people, while throwing other cis women under the bus? dailynous.com/2025/02/10/w...

“trans philosophers cling for dear life in the profession—shrugging off microaggressions, marginalizations by allies, (…). And now, it turns out, cling for dear life, period—fearing to travel, having no safe place to use restrooms, being on the lookout for violence, and afraid of what is to come.”

Oh hey! My book is already on Amazon, I did not know! Look how pretty! If you are a person who still uses Amazon, will you please consider pre-ordering? It's cheap, and it really helps with the algorithm and with my ability to promote the book. I hate to push my own stuff but I would be so grateful!

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

The Right to Pee Is Everything Trans peoples’ basic right to exist in the world is under assault. Bathrooms are at the heart of that fight. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

canvassing opinion: are academics cancelling planned professional trips to the US?

Zum Abschluss der Legislaturperiode setzte die AfD in einer Bundestagsdebatte noch einmal auf queerfeindliche Hetze

Kein einziger Abgeordneter der FDP und nur eine einzige Abgeordnete aus der CDU/CSU hat gegen die Zusammenarbeit mit der AfD gestimmt. Lets face it: Die sind alle bereit mit Rechtsextremen zusammenzuarbeiten. www.bundestag.de/parlament/pl...

Jules Gill-Peterson called it a few years ago: the era of the "cis state." sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-st...

Yesterday I signed my contract, yay! I'm joining OsnabrĂźck University for the next 3 years. Looking forward to this next academic chapter.

Die Exzellenz-Strategie setzt Fehlanreize in der Forschung, schwächt die Lehre, unterliegt einem intransparenten Begutachtungsverfahren und ihre Kosten werden durch den Nutzen nicht aufgewogen. Eine Stellungnahme vom *Netzwerk nachhaltige Wissenschaft*. netzwerk-nachhaltige-wissenschaft.de?p=449
