the paper itself is a great and quick read, btw www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
This essay analyzes anti-feminist (“Pick-Me”) Black women content
creators on YouTube who exist within the Black manosphere—online
spaces populated by Black men who support Black patriarchal dom
-
inance. These “Pick-Me” content creators use what I term “tactical
patriarchal femininity” to attract the financial provision of an eco
-
nomically stable Black man and to derive income from sympathetic
viewers. Tactical patriarchal femininity is an elaborate, all-consuming
embodied performance that is as much about emotion work as it is
about exuding conventional attractiveness and behavior that is
aligned with traditional femininity. Tactical patriarchal femininity
exists to combat the matrices of oppression created by capitalism,
white supremacy, and institutional patriarchy. Anti-feminist Black
women work in reaction to the misogynoirist material realities that
victimize Black women. Ultimately, the Black manosphere’s explicit
disavowal of Black women’s worth, apart from what they may pro
-
vide for men in their role as a patriarchalized wife, is dangerous to all
Black women—including and especially those Black women who
claim anti-feminism. Anti-feminism does not combat dehumanizing
views that posit Black women as masculine, unmarriageable, and
underserving
 
of
 
care
 
and
 
support.
 
Rather,
 
anti-feminist
 
Black
women work to make themselves exceptions to the rule in a bid for
conditional respect and protection that rarely materializes long-
term.

"Black feminism was a home to me far before I knew anything about autism." I was a guest on Autistic Culture, one of my favorite podcasts!! Check it out and let me know what you think! I was excited to chat about my upcoming book, Distinctly Different (Illinois UP). substack.com/redirect/faf...

Audre lorde still that says I was a mess. I was introverted, hypersensitive, I was too intense,
And all the other words people used for little wild black girls who were determined to live.

New article on the cultural importance of recognizing romance & pleasure in 19th century Black women's fiction! ✨️🩷 Link: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...
Quote post that says: "I read Iola Leroy as illustrating what a world that loves and respects Black women could look like, and in doing so, the novel can be a source of pleasure for those who wish to see that world into fruition."

It’s amazing how quickly Black women have been targeted by these laws and doubly so how little this factors into the analysis around the sexual and gender politics of this movement.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I was recently featured on a podcast called Clinically Awkward, where I discussed race, gender, and autism. I also got to chat about gaming, which is one of my special interests! open.spotify.com/episode/1UxH...

I had an amazing time presenting at #ASALH2025 with LaToya Council! We had a great discussion about the politics of Black femininity in the 21st century. I look forward to continuing conversations!

New short article on the relationship between Black manosphere discourse and real world violence against trans and cis Black women. I cite Megan Thee Stallion as an example.

Accommodations designed for people with #disabilities often benefit everyone. Examples include captioning, visual instructions, and remote work options, according to a professor of disability studies: buff.ly/4iklwuQ Lauren Shallish, Rutgers - Newark #ADA #DEI #workplace #universaldesign

Why including people with disabilities in the workforce and higher education benefits everyone
For one thing, the presence of employees with disabilities improves the culture of the entire organization, making it more collaborative and responsive.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
