Could not be more thrilled and proud that the latest lesbian project publication has been accepted for publication in @SignsJournal, hopefully for their special issue on Lesbian Studies, Now! 😭

it's so beautiful when you say "my gender is lesbian" and all the dykes reply "yes exactly"

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

@sgbuggs Eeeee thank youuuu!!!!

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

Just came across a particularly fascinating example of how—as we discuss in this @JournalLesbian article—comphet is often phrased in these diagnostic, almost medicalized terms in the online debates over who can “have” it!

HOT OFF THE PRESS BY @Faxsly @getrael "As geographers interested in ordinary, unnoticed, and often disregarded expressions of resistance, this paper ...strengthen alliances between geographies of resistance, trans, queer, and feminist geographies." https://t.co/e6eyA7i8gF

“While on the surface it may appear that one can be pro-lesbian and anti-trans, the validity of this stance comes into question with the most superficial of interrogation.” 🙌🏻

[The Journal of Lesbian Studies @JournalLesbian]

New research alert! @ClaireThurlowKA writes on the failures of solidarity and its roots in a nostalgia for lost communities, edited @Finn_Mackay and @drnikkihayfield

@CaitlynMCollins That said—and I don’t know if it matters to your institution—I purchased visa gift cards through university procurement rather than giving straight cash, which they DON’T really allow.

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

@CaitlynMCollins BU does not (yet??) require it (thankfully)

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

Should Twitter actually go bust this time, follow The (real) Lesbian Project & sign up to receive news, updates, and calls for participants here: https://t.co/ehjiKwwvgC. TBD on a new social media space, will let you know! (And if not, it’s lesbian business as usual over here 😂)

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

Sociologist scholars, take note!

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

If you, like us, are obsessed with lesbian obsolescence anxieties and how they are expressed/leveraged in the current political moment—this is ESSENTIAL reading. And remarkably accessible to non-academic audiences while deeply interrogating academic ideas! https://t.co/cve8b37uPV

God I still remember seeing this cover wheat pasted all over the Lower East Side more than 20 years ago… 👵🏻!

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

This looks so interesting, looking forward!

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

This is SUCH a satisfying thread on lesbian feminism’s complex relationship to the idea of “woman” and its relationship to lesbianism, high high key recommend! A very useful, easily digestible, really smart primer on the subject.
