I joined Bluesky over a year ago, but let my account languish bc few people in my field were active here. Are we really doing it this time, writing studies people? In case we are: I study the literacies and identities of marginalized groups. I’m an associate prof and WPA at Miami (OH).

Multiple things can be true at once: 1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes 2. The war on Gaza is a horror 3. Antisemitism is rising 4. Islamophobia is rising Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse
