@nkalamb Thanks and thanks for your tweets.

@nkalamb The dean and VPA basically said “don’t worry about it”

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]

@nkalamb When I talked to various levels of admin at UNB about transphobic death threats I received, the only concrete offer of support was a reminder about this shitty free therapy.

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]

@nkalamb This is classic @UNB! Bland absolute minimum rhetoric, reminder of EFAP therapy. Pretend there’s zero reason why trans profs hustle outta there.

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]

Remember when I got death threats @UNB and was told not to worry because it was all surely fake? Remember when they suggested I use the blue security telephone if ever in danger? (When, meanwhile, security had ID’d me in my own office like five times?)

Police just determined the stabbings in the Waterloo Gender Studies class were targeted. The attack came directly after calls for an assault on Gender Studies from the likes of Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh. This is exactly what they want.

My favourite part!

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]

@suzypasquzy Hmmm infinite?! Though I imagine we won’t publish more than one or two from any one author – – depending on how many we receive total. If you have an idea for a very particular suite of poems, however, please drop me a line 😀🖤

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]

Poets! Scholars! Weirdos! Wannabes!

Write a poem that transforms a classic or new text of queer theory into a single-syllable work of art.

Have fun, get paid, be gay, do crime.

Aug 1 last deadline. Start now?

[Lucas Crawford @Lucas__Crawford]
