@CozyBunny_ and I wrote an article on misogyny in BL works and industry (which interestingly was informed by our pandemic experience of watching and bonding over queer Asian media): https://t.co/ilt27PMU9A

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

Queers in Palestine released one of the strongest statement I have read. https://t.co/c2OTSCk5V0

thoroughly enjoyed the panel on rethinking queerness at #FSNNA 2023; loved the panelists’ ideas on thinking more critically about queerness by looking at racism, transphobia, ableism, nationalism and normativity in Western and Asian fandoms @CozyBunny_ @ElyanStenel

[Divya Garg @divyagarg2019]

It was lovely to be on this panel and to hear about important ways to rethink fandom and fan studies with insights from disability studies, Mad studies, and race theory. Apologies for any rushing and repetition (being half-awake at 5am)😅

Academia loves to decolonize everything besides occupied land. Its silence on Palestine is enough to know how decolonization has become a metaphor signifying everything besides material change and collective resistance.

@annahm that’s fantastic! just a few more chapters left… we’ll get it done 💪

ongoing marriage equality hearing in the supreme court of India 🌈

[Dr Rahul Sinha-Roy🌈🦄 @rsinharoy]

Absolutely loved the argument regarding redrawing the canvas of “same-sex marriage” by changing its name to “marriage between consenting adults” to include within its ambit the whole rainbow spectrum of diverse genders/sexualities #marriageequalityindia #SupremeCourtofIndia
