My department's grad symposium, "Cross-Pollination: New Modes of Comparison" is accepting submissions until this Friday 1/21! We're looking for papers which problematize comparison as a methodology and/or pull off challenging comparisons! Pls share widely: https://t.co/aDT5VO2cVJ

BREAKING: We have occupied trees in a proposed old growth timber sale on traditional Kalapuya and Molalla land in the so-called Willamette National Forest. We will not compromise in defense of these forests, or the communities that rely on them.

Listening to an embargoed briefing on the upcoming IPCC report and IT’S BAD Y’ALL. Get ready to cry on Monday. Then get ready to turn the fuck up even more.

@farsouthhistory Hey! I’d be interested in reviewing one. Can we get in contact? I’d be interested in reviewing Dunaway’s Defending the Arctic Refuge.

[Joseph Sussi @JosephSussi]

Fuck off. Thanks for affirming the reality that the continual judgment of my body, which is only obese by the determination of an archaic system, is subject to my evaluation as a “friend”. Get the fuck out of my life if my body is a problem - it’s your problem, not mine.

(tw rape, police violence)

for the past 8 months, I've been investigating the rape allegations of a Black sex worker in Eugene, OR. She says she was stalked and raped by a police officer after he came to her house for a domestic violence call. Now she's the one facing charges

[Leah Feiger @LeahFeiger]

After a woman says she was stalked and raped by a police officer in Oregon, she protested in front of the police department. She was arrested for demonstrating; he isn't facing any charges.

@alixbeeston What came to mind is some of the photography I saw at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston some time ago. https://t.co/Ie21rjKrK9
Particularly, the photographs of Jananne Al-Ani, Lalla Essaydi, Shadi Ghadirian and Boushra Almutawakel. Hopefully some help and not too obvious.

“Since each work sets up a perceptual structure, you’re always perceiving your own sight and your own perception relative to the structure, so there is a perceptual relativity which is also very physical and related to the level of the eye.” —Nancy Holt

Check out my colleague’s piece she published this summer on lesbian lands and the Ovulars, a feminist photography collective/workshop. Incredibly proud of her and continuously inspired by her work.

[rae root @raechelroot]

This summer, I wrote about women's/lesbian lands and the Ovular photography workshops for @orhumanities, reflecting on what their practice can offer us in our own moment of reimagining the future. Read the full piece here or in their print magazine (!): https://t.co/tgwhbZRhHC

Shortly after the Hiroshima atomic bombing, the Kodak Company observed spotting & fogging on film that they traced back to contamination of their cardboard containers. J.H. Webb, a Kodak employee, concluded it must have come from a nuclear explosion somewhere in the U.S. (1/4)
