Interested in Audre Lorde’s philosophy of education, ecological politics, & why Lorde isn't a proto-TERF?

Please read this open access interview I did with Alexis Pauline Gumbs. I added a bunch of explanatory footnotes, and Alexis is amazing as always.

@nrduford this is such a Northampton-coded hazard

Our name on the other site is https://t.co/64QYtGNMRw and the vibes are way way better there. Trust us.

@cervixpiercer Oh, lol. He literally just cut out the Smith and Kant (and who knows what else) from the beginning of the semester to try to make this anti-woke point. Intellectual dishonesty, I'm shocked!

[vituperativeerb @vituperativeerb]

@jjosephporter The semester starts off with Smith you reprobate

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

@cervixpiercer This site just isn't worth it

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

Came here to share Audre Lorde's wisdom

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

@kalonge93 Oh wow, Roforofo Fight!!

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

I'm going to this for sure, and you should too. Helen is such a treasured voice, and has been a lovely interlocutor in my work on Audre Lorde

[Brian @ProfJRadisson]

I'm breaking my Twitter fast to share this for friends and admirers of Helen De Cruz (formerly @helenreflects on here). She been a shining light in our field for so long. This looks like a wonderful way to celebrate her life.

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

@ProfJRadisson I love this, and look forward to being there! Maybe @Philip_Goff can spread the word to any of her former followers still lingering on here?

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

@nrduford Can we talk about the fact that the LLM is indirectly advocating trepanning here tho? "Consciousness never touches the external world directly" lmao

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

@cervixpiercer my favorite part (derogatory) is where the LLM suggests that the brain would be more directly in touch with the external world if it were to escape the skull and just sit on a literal table with no sense organs

[Caleb Ward @calebdward]

Excited to hear and support this research!! We need more complex, multi-directional analysis of Black feminist left internationalism, anti colonial struggles, and their legacies

[Tereza Hendl @TerezaHendl]

On the way to Hamburg to present our work with @DurdiyevaSelbi, taking a look at Angela Davis’ approach to the USSR from the perspectives of societies affected by russian-soviet imperialism. Our paper calls for epistemic reparations and opens complex debates that we need to have

"Putting yourself on the line is like killing a piece of yourself…”

Excited to present this work at SPEP in October, with Andrea Dionne Warmack. If you don't know Andrea's work, look it up! Her compelling framework of "afro-skepticism" pushes back against afro-pessimism
