Since 9/11, I have found life in feminist anti-authoritarian, anti-military, anti-carceral thought. I write about it in my book, The Future That Was, from Women Living Under Muslim Laws who declared "vengeance is not justice" 10 days after 9/11 to the defiant mourning of June Jordan in November 2001

I also love how suddenly some scholars care about academic freedom to support the free speech of a white supremacist while so many of us are facing all kinds of troubles from disciplinary actions to losing jobs over Palestine. 😒 seriously, fuck them, fuck #cofnas and yes Free Palestine.

Getting all my political talking points from the comments of the pro wrestling subreddit from now on.

There have been more school shootings in the 2026-2027 school year (which started last week) than there are transgender athletes competing. This is a nothing issue pushed by nothing people while the rich continue to rob us blind.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

Three Hundred Fifty-Four Fireworks per Second — Chad M. Topaz

Organizers promise 850,000 fireworks in roughly 40 minutes over the National Mall this Saturday. I did what a mathematician does with a big number: I divided. It did not make the show look better.

also, when you introduce violent language into a discussion about something substantive, you shift the focus away from the substantively important thing we're discussing and toward disavowing your beliefs. this is both tedious and some real wrecker behavior.

This ”debate“ is happening again and I feel there’s another way, different conclusions, that will allow you to recognize the dangers of development ideology, practice, institution —which include how its rapid dismantling and resulting damage/devastation are partly what makes it dangerous

These people don't know me, nor I them, but I really wish liberals and leftists from urban/suburban areas could get a grip about rural areas. Land doesn't vote. But rural residents deserve basic rights and services. Rural poverty looks very different from urban.

The best thing about liberal arts colleges is that they effectively break lineal descendancy and the inherited trauma of PhD programs. Because I don't train "the next generation of scholars," I have no need to inflict my pain on students. I'm just here to educate these kids into the world!

I talked to several professors and scholars about this, and they all said what bothered them most wasn't the ownership rights, but the idea that their work would be misinterpreted by people trying to learn about their subject:

“I don't love the idea of my lectures being taken out of the context of my overall course, and of the readings for that module, and then just presented as saying something,” they told me. “It makes me feel like somebody that's less knowledgeable about me, they're going to be naive about these positions, and they're going to think either that an ‘expert’ said it so therefore it must be true... Or they're gonna think, that's obviously fucking stupid, this ‘expert’ must be dumb. But I could have been presenting a foil!” The clips are so short, it's impossible in some cases to discern context at all.

That lecturer told me the idea of their work being chopped up and used in this way was less a matter of concern for their ownership of the material, and more distressing that someone might come away from these modules with half-baked or wrong conclusions about the topics at hand. “All of the complexity of the topic is being flattened, as though it's really simple,” they said of the snippet Atomic made of their lecture. When they assign this topic to students, it comes with dozens of pages of peer reviewed academic papers, they said. Atomic provides none of that. The module Atomic produced in my test provided zero source links, zero outside readings for further study, no specific citations for where it was getting this information whatsoever, and no mention of who was even in the videos it presented, unless a Zoom name or other name card was visible in the videos.
