I know we are all feeling a particular way about the government removing photos of non-white, non-male leaders from their buildings. Here are images from my rural queer joy exhibitions; we put up big photos of the gays™️ in Wyoming. My book under review is about the value of art for communication 1/🧵

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

As someone with pretty extensive knowledge of the breadth of the OCR investigations (being at a university with an investigation), I was actually very curious how they were going to process this massive series of anti-DEI investigations after firing everyone.

See ~I~ realized these people were unreasonable and unreachable back in 2018 when the new MAGA contingent was arguing, during a townhall at a HIGHSCHOOL, that the death penalty is good because Jesus got the death penalty.

Hi what did you guys do today, I bet it didnt involve bothering ASA to change language on their webpage because lawyers at your university didn't believe you (that all the communities and sections are open to any ASA member) and you have spent all day in the most unhinged meetings of your career.

I vividly remember a few scholars arguing trans women were a risk to cis women in prisons & this is why y'all were TERFs. Even though prison staff are the biggest threat to incarcerated women. Can't imagine having such strong opinions & yet contributed positively to the lives of literally no one.
