@nerdosyndical @melnickjeffrey1 that was the dawn of the trucker hat / hipster racism / williamsburg hellscape era, no? all i know is that there were definitely abhorrent white people at that party smoking crack and calling it ironic

the NS crew were rocking dresses made of aluminum foil and cardboard.

Resources brutally extracted from the New World did not bring capitalism to Spain or Portugal, while England had a rapidly growing capitalist economy well before it had an empire.

Why, then, does the “colonialism-created-capitalism” argument persist? https://t.co/jOGYSJgGhe

@nerdosyndical the slightly spicier kerr quote from ‘58: “I find that the three major administrative problems on a campus are sex for the students, athletics for the alumni and parking for the faculty.”

@_danielle_carr really incredible episode. i learned a ton and your breakdown of concepts was so valuable. thank you so much.

i don’t know what it’d mean to mourn but that’s a question for another day. for now, moving on.

[FKA lowendtheory @touchfaith]

was attached to the work i did here over more than a decade. it was hard to lose the community on tumblr. it has been a different kind of difficult to lose what was here, which was never for me a community as much as a place for living and enlivening ideas within enabling limits.

[FKA lowendtheory @touchfaith]

it’s time to leave that now. the loss has been less by assault than by attrition. slow deaths don’t open so easily onto mourning. the internet liberated us from face to face relations but it keeps promising different collectivities that turn out to have been wildly ephemeral.

my only commentary about the #luthervandross documentary is this:

the closet is a prison. the closet is not a natural orientation in the world, it is not something that occurs in nature of necessity, it is not a disposition that exists without context, no.

@DrRupaMarya i learned only after ending therapy that my bay area therapist, whom i hadn’t known was a zionist israeli, had posted some quite vile anti-palestinian and islamophobic stuff online. i will absolutely be vetting any and all future therapists for their stance on palestine.

[FKA lowendtheory @touchfaith]

@schanmalik 😂 you and my therapists

in many universities, there's a full-on assault on (trans)gender, race, ethnic
& sexuality studies. in many cases, austerity is being leveraged to discipline these fields out of existence.

the department i have been affiliated with for the last two decades is not one of them 1/x

[FKA lowendtheory @touchfaith]

also: DMs open

[FKA lowendtheory @touchfaith]

for now, i want at least to leave the above as a placeholder.

we are going to have to fight for our existence in the university in coming years. i just want to discourage others from using our case to exemplify the attack on the university.

it isn't. it's toxic. but not that.
