Babes, I have a theory: the milquetoast democrats imagined that "policy" would save them, while the fascists-in-techno-bro-allegiance knew that "policy" doesn't matter as much as political "feelings".

Page proofs!

Controversial take: the way the youth these days greet people with “hey,” even in emails (!?), is so disconcerting. Each time I cringe and hear my mom: “hey is for horses” or my dad, “were you raised in a barn”? Hey is not a greeting for someone you don’t already know well.

This must be read. By every person who cares about the hijacking of this nation. By every Democrat in Congress. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Thank you @jamellebouie.net. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

What Trump doesn’t understand is that Gaza is alive, a breathing place, a place that grows and survives.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Currently reading @pepepierce.bsky.social's gorgeous opening essay in this collection, and ready to push preorder as soon as this goes live: www.dukeupress.edu/speculative-... "...what futures might be possible if we relate, if we speculate together, dreaming otherwise futures to life"

My loves, it occurs to me that negative affect is the moment. Resentment, rancor, fear, anger. The right projects anger onto objects it actually desires. The right yearns for freedom but it only has envy. And everyone suffers.

"Sometimes we have to speak the colonizer’s language, and in this languaging, still somehow remember ourselves." @pepepierce.bsky.social

Went to see "Queer" the movie this weekend, and like ok fine, whatever, it's visually beautiful in parts, and Daniel Craig is good, but why didn't it actually cohere? The ayahuasca storyline is low-hanging fruit (obviously it's colonial, blah blah). But it didn't gel imho.

did you miss this? it was a truly amazing conversation between Nayrouz Abu Hatoum, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Dana M. Olwan, @pepepierce.bsky.social, and @deescribed.bsky.social about queer as praxis, real solidarity, settler colonialism, and Palestine, Palestine, Palestine 🍉🍉🍉 Catch the video ⤵️

Now that thankstaking is over look ahead to this 🔥 discussion on Thursday about queer solidarity and settler colonialism from Palestine to Turtle Island @pepepierce.bsky.social @deescribed.bsky.social #CLAGS #queerstudies 🌈📚🎓🍉

Currently seeking: synonyms for “paradigm,” which I use too much.

Feelings: excitement about new book copyedits; energized by ASA comrades, dread about all the things. Dog photo for the morning.

FYI now live.

Yes I’m on here but I don’t post very much. Here’s a tiny disco ball.

I’m at the point in the semester where, with all my love, I just want to be left alone, for like ever.

Sometimes I just can’t get warm in my apartment and I miss Texas only for a minute.

This is a good job. If you’re a scholar/artist who works on sound, your app would get a serious look too. Some great people in this department
