I’m the Director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern and also a gender historian. If I thought for a minute that our administration had cancelled this conference for political reasons I would be complaining, loudly. But this is not an accurate representation of what happened.

Also, the trolls are out in force, alas.

Possibly the only good line of the day, from brilliant comedian Marga Gomez:

I know the world is going to end and so I decided to get a slow cooker.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Looking at the news is like seeing a scan of my untreated ADHD brain, a unpredictable CAT5 storm of destruction and if the blowhards don't take you out, you're going to get brained by bits and pieces of the democracy that wasn't built for this.

Pornhub used to pay $2 dollars a word before it pivoted to video. So few outlets are paying for fiction these days!

The surest sign that Justin Baldoni is an abuser is, sadly, his very public stance as a feminist who calls out abuse. Because cis men don't unless they are using it as a cover for their own mistreatment of women

The details of the Blake Lively complaint are much worse than the stories yesterday suggested. Pages 13 to 20 are a virtual encyclopedia of predatory, abusive behavior on set. Unprofessional doesn't begin to cover it. This should end many careers. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

And a semester long explosion of art making in Ann Arbor ends with Nayland Blake leading a Gender Discard Party, which they describe as part show and tell and part clothing swap, a charming, low fi but poignant subversion of the Gender Reveal party syndrome.

If you're in NYC you have to see the new Carmelita Tropicana/Brandon Jaoobs-Jenkins show, "GET ME CARMELITA TROPICANA" at Soho Rep, which is extended now through Dec 22nd only. It's a joyous, layered and smart voyage through the queer imagination, an intergenerational love poem, not to miss!
