Look at this claim from the intro: “White men fell from 39 percent of tenure-track positions in the humanities at Harvard in 2014 to 18 percent in 2023.”

Things look very different if you go by numbers: they went from 11 tenure-track positions filled by white men in 2014 to 10 in 2024. A loss of 1.

This is part of why people think being lgbt+ is some new, weird trend. “Where are the queer elders?” They’re fucking dead and Reagan had a direct hand in killing them. He was more than content to sit back and let a disease that they said targeted gay men and queers take us out

It’s really sad that basically the only way you’re going to learn any queer history now is from other queer people. That’s why it’s so important to me! And personally I don’t think any of my school textbooks touched the AIDS crisis at all

I do not know how CEOs cannot see that they are basically pushing people's faces into cake and then saying "haha but they love it"

That's this whole administration, I think, they were all very obviously deeply wounded by their upbringings in ways that just broke them as human beings.

They are irreparably hurt people channeling their rage at their own spiritual wounds into violence at an incompressible scale.

In my case, this painstaking labor in the process through which the science gets done. Science isn't measuring stuff in a lab. It's thinking deeply, extracting the heart of idea from the soup of thoughts running through my mind, molding it, and finding a way to communicate that idea to others.
