Is this bus stop on the Whithworth Road the worst bus stop in Dublin?

This is a great essay by @jdgtranen on a term I talked about with @strongthomas all summer: erotophobia. Understanding this is key to the understanding sex exceptionalism in public health responses, carcerality and policy, especially IRT HIV & MPX

[Eric Reinhart @_Eric_Reinhart]

Many are fearful of acknowledging truth in our patients’ words. I often find it useful to, rather than oppose this personal nihilism, instead lean into it. It’s more honest. Many who have made many attempts and seen countless psychiatrists immediately see through canned lines. 2/

The anthropologist, my friend and frequent interlocutor @strongthomas, asked the question that became the headline of this essay: Is Sex worth the risk? Is it worth any risk to any viral exposure? Bc we are told constantly that the economy is worth the risk to our lives.

THREAD: In a good problem to have, The Viral Underclass got a lot of press this week. But I also wrote an original @guardian essay the day after the book dropped that got a little overlooked, and I want to share about it again bc I think it's important. https://t.co/YyDgyIyGtU

Witchcraft and queerness have long been intertwined in histories of otherness and violence. This glass flask reputed to contain a witch is an excellent starting point to tell some of that story. Visit the Pitt Rivers Museum site: https://t.co/a12kgmJbD6

Sarah Schulman on conflict and communication today: 'I have only made it all worse by now being in the arena of... “too much” when in reality it is frankly & literally not enough. 5 texts are culturally stigmatized as excessive, but they only cover a minute or 2 of conversation.'

Day 15 of MonkeyPox. Thought I would share a video so you all could see how they look now. I’m also calling for viewers to show compassion and kindness to people going through this… it could be you. People can feel alone in this. Reach out and be a friend if you know someone!

T-7 to the Viral Underclass

“Thomas” by @mollycrabapple

“we are all already polluted by each other, our bodies connected and permeable, energised and endangered by the life (vitality, livingness, decay, dehiscence) that that connection engenders.”

I am sometimes dumbfounded by my extraordinary good luck in PhD students. I am the one learning.
