all this is just a close reading and political analysis of what he said in the interview. its not my opinion, its an analysis, taking apart his rhetoric to understand what they were doing. im using skills i learned studying poetry and history

not magic

An excellent review of recent work on JAS by @echomikeromeo

“For Symonds, as for the 20th- and 21st-century British state, rights for bourgeois, respectable homosexuals came at the expense of a broader vision of sexual liberation.”

The Journal of the History of Sexuality has been publishing #QueerHistory for 33 years. My dive into our archives for #PrideMonth can only highlight some of the amazing contributions over the years. Have an area of interest? Let me know and I'll find you an article!

A few things not to ask for as a teacher:

* A doctor’s note for a student who spent the night in the ER.
* Proof of a positive COVID test.
* A funeral notice for a student who’s had a death in the family.
* [Insert every other personal thing that we shouldn’t be policing.]

So great to have been a part of this now-published roundtable discussion of "Unspeakable" (by the fabulous @RachelCleves) with the equally awesome @jiddix, @KristineAlexand, @nicholas_syrett.

I am begging nondisabled folks to stop equating "standardization" w/"fairness" (à la "it's only fair if everyone does it the same way"). The dominant culture categorizes ppl as disabled on the basis of our "non-standard" bodyminds; standardization cannot produce fairness for us.

we have an election in two days and evangelical christianity is playing a big part in it — forced birth, denying the humanity and bodily autonomy of queer and trans people, and more

understanding the evangelical values underpinning the threat to our democracy is vital

@AnthonyCantorCA Still working on really getting this part: “this notion of the intentional craft error exists in cultures around the world, and I’ve also grasped the lovely, complex ways superstition, hubris, humility and respect for the gods may all intersect.”

My son is starting grade 10. He didn’t go to school today because his ‘program’ doesn’t start until tomorrow. You see, he’s in a segregated program. He doesn’t have a homeroom class + doesn’t experience high school like his typical peers. 1/10 #bced
