"Marx writes ... in The Eighteenth Brumaire that 'the social revolution of the nineteenth century can only draw its poetry from the future, not from the past.' Where will the social revolution of the twenty-first century, if it comes, if it is not already here, draw its poetry?" -Tiana Reid

This is how we doooooooo ittttt

Literally extra extra. Our full conversation available exclusively on @reproutopia.bsky.social’s patreon!

This Friday in Greenwich Village and on the world wide web! Registration link in the comments.

cisness, as the racialized presumption of sexed naturalness, actually affords a great deal of gender expansiveness to white bourgeois people, and in our era this modality of cisness is most visible and significant in the availability of masculine priority to bourgeois white women.

Sophie will have a much longer version of our conversation on patreon soon.

We need to name the way that cis men and cis women conspire to ontologize misogyny and thereby erase its reality. I’m very sorry that you were inclined and allowed to abuse and menace girls as a child Rahm Emanuel. In this sense, I know you and knew you.

Last year, an advisory council for parents of public school kids in Manhattan passed a resolution calling for trans-friendly policies in NYC schools to be reconsidered. Each month, a growing movement packs their meeting to make the council take it back. hellgatenyc.com/fighting-tra...

New online: A conversation between Emma Heaney and Sophie Lewis pinko.online/web/on-the-c...

My favorite part of our conversation was Sophie's summation that: "Lived biology is on our side." That part is included in much longer version that will be out soon on @reproutopia.bsky.social's patreon.

I spoke w Sophie Lewis for 3 hours and that conversation was edited by Tiana Reid, ME O’Brien, Emilio Martínez, and Max Fox. I hope that the result honors the work of the Pinko collective. Whenever SL and I speak we begin mid-sentence and end w 50 more things to say. pinko.online/web/on-the-c...

Feminist comradeship with Emma Heaney @riislover667.bsky.social has been one of the greatest gifts of the past 5 years of my life. @Pinkomagazine.bsky.social asked me to interview her about cisness, sexual difference, care labor. This was the result. It will nourish you: pinko.online/web/on-the-c...

To his scared, ashamed, pathetic little smile she presents a simple reality: "yo tambien fu una nina."

My report from the gestational sensorium is available for pre-order. Capital and war don't come off well. bookshop.org/p/books/this...

On today’s new ep, I’m joined by @reproutopia.bsky.social to discuss their new book Enemy Feminisms out this week from @haymarketbooks.org—a ruthless critique of the ways feminism has been weaponized in service of empire & capital Feminism isn’t inherently liberatory & this book names our enemies.
