In my Frederic Jameson discussion group today: “We are trying to theorize together when culture and systems for thinking have become shrapnel from an internet explosion.” Just nerding out in a world none of us can really understand.

I was going to compose something snarky about an ideology that forces women to have babies and then does not care what happens next. I’m too angry for snark. Blessed be the fruit.

I’ll play! Yes, but in my doctoral regalia, wielding a very heavy book of literary critical theory.

I constantly see this in my college students who went to private schools. These concepts were never taught to them. They also don’t know about the Holocaust, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, or internment camps. They are only taught things that reinforce their white supremacist notion of American exceptionalism.

Hassett is using classic disinformation strategy. Yes, biosecurity is one recommendation for protecting flocks. Yes, some flocks have been quarantined, and some culled. He’s missing the entire rest of the federal H5N1 plan. Also, there are 7bn wild birds spreading this thing, and 1 bn farm chickens.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Details on the bizarre disappearance of random documents from OSHA’s web site. Seems as if no one is trying to read words in context before removing documents based solely on ideological keywords. So, if you were holding out hope that there might be an attempt at competence, that’s gone now.

I’d be so glad to call it this, but does anyone recommend a good Náhuatl pronunciation guide for this word? I am not sure where to put the accents.

We are halfway through our second month of CDC cancelling meetings with their grantees. These meetings were for various purposes; support, sharing data, q&a — all routine meetings that are part of their managing our grant.

This was always about making it easier for white cis men to abuse us again. They really only hate trans folks because they resist this particular form of domination (don’t fit in this fantasy of patriarchy).

If this is coming out near you, I recommend it! The direction and design were great, as were the performances. Well worth a visit to your local theater if it’s playing. It’s always a good time to see a tyrant overthrown, after all.

Arundhati Roy famously described the pandemic “a portal” thru which we’d emerge one kind of society or another: one w a broad safety net & an ethic of care & public health, or one that increasingly viewed all life disposable in the name of capital accumulation. She was right.

Not for nothing, but I know many public health grant applications required entire sections explaining how the applicant planned to address health equity concerns. Inevitably this type of language would therefore be in the application. It was required to be.

The US does not have an offensive bioweapons program. Gain of function research did not lead to SARS-CoV-2. The scientific evidence points to a NATURAL zoonosis, ie a jump from infected animals to people. If there is evidence to the contrary it has not been presented.
