Thank you for all the best birthday wishes. I find it hard to celebrate with the recent passing of a friend, a community leader, and a great scholar of Black queer studies. And on top of that, the tragic and ongoing fire in Hong Kong. May all of those who have left us rest in peace.

I've never gotten over this. Ever. We marked the first year after his murder with a "play-in" event in Chicago. I had the idea for this and I have never forgotten him. You can see some of the photos from the event here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

Publication day! I used social reproduction theory to rethink digital labour: what if social reproductive labor is recorded and vlogged by gay couples in China? What new kinds of dynamics emerge? Please check out my article: “Queering digitally-mediated social reproduction”

I don’t know about you but I sincerely believe that Zohran Mamdani’s BA Major in Africana Studies enabled him to understand our current conjuncture & its demands of justice. Humanities shape minds & in his case for the better.
