I went to a party last night, and the only evidence that I was there is this photo of me, alone in a room, sitting on the floor, petting a dog.

I feel so fortunate that I didn’t get into my top choice college so that I could experience the heart of my alma mater (Villanova). I feel so grateful to have been a part of the community of VU, and to have experienced the empathy and kindness of the professors at the university. 🩵 💙

Something Something Soup Something
SOMETHING SOMETHING SOUP SOMETHING could be defined as a videogame. However, we prefer to see it as an interactive thought experiment: a piece of technology that discloses situations and presents notions in ways that are interactive and negotiable (and maybe even playful).

One of the most humbling adult experiences is realizing that you have been using a word wrong for over 30 years. Another is learning that you have been pronouncing a word wrong for just as long.

This sets a really troubling precedent. Texas A&M is the university with the largest student body in the US. This will certainly have a chilling effect across the country.

“The policy defines race ideology as, among other things, ‘a concept that attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity.’”
These GOP-led efforts will ruin their states’ public universities. Sad!

Working in a supportive environment where people go out of their way to help you succeed will really rewire your brain and hit reset on your sympathetic nervous system, huh.

Very!! Important!! Study!!
If you’ve spent any time on Grindr, you may have seen the phrase “no fats, no femmes, no [insert other identity/appearance category here].” This study explores the functions and harms of these exclusionary and marginalizing descriptors on users.

Direct Harms of Microaggressions and Discipline Among Grindr Users: An Analysis of the Social Harm of Femmephobia and Sizeism - Sexuality & Culture
Microaggressions are subtle yet pervasive forms of prejudice that reinforce exclusion and marginalisation within social spheres. The theory of microaggressions has been widely applied to concepts of racial discrimination, while a few have applied such theory to other characteristics, like sexual orientation, and even fewer have examined concepts of within-group microaggressions, such as femmephobia or sizeism. This study examines within-group microaggressions among Grindr users, particularly focusing on femmephobia and sizeism as two of the most significant issues in relevant literature, by using a harm-oriented framework informed by theories of oppression and microaggressions. Drawing on survey responses and qualitative narratives (N = 100), three interconnected themes emerged: degradation, exclusion, and monitoring and conformity. Findings indicate that microaggressions on Grindr operate as mechanisms of discipline and punishment, while they can have significant effects on users. By shifting the focus from individual actions to collective harm, this research contributes to a harm-oriented understanding of microaggressions, arguing that they function as tools of control that sustain exclusionary norms and social hierarchies within online dating platforms.

Big day for this first gen!!
Going to college was a big deal. Going to grad school was a big shock. Publishing my first paper was unbelievable. And now, having my work cited over 1000 times feels simply surreal. Thanks to everyone who has read and cited my scholarship :)

Really interesting new study out in SSM: "Precarious Manhood, Precarious Nations: The Contribution of Cultural Beliefs Comprising Masculinity to National Happiness”
More national precarious manhood beliefs = less national happiness, lower national GDP, shorter life expectancy, & less social support
