"nada hay más monstruoso que los hombres con traje", Jacob Elordi. Al leer al bello Elordi en Venecia, he recordado este sugerente libro en que el autor desmonta 25 objetos vinculados con la masculinidad y nos ofrece vías para escapar de sus máscaras. @giammei.bsky.social

"Le differenze di genere rimarranno sempre ingiuste e oppressive finché penseremo di colmarle allargando progressivamente la capienza dei correnti modelli bacati di successo, potere e libertà, invece di ripensarle su modelli alternativi a quelli del maschio spavaldo, volitivo e irrefrenabile."

LISTEN no one talks about this enough but the weird little monkey part of our brain really needs us to sit around in small groups, with no particular end goal or plan in mind, and just talk Like a fundamental need for us to be healthy

Trends are always opportunities. The *trend* of anticipatory obedience to unconstitutional, anti-intellectual commands from the White House is an *opportunity* for higher education institutions to show their integrity and differentiate themselves in the conflict of ideologies.

Waking up in this place reminds me that beauty may indeed save us, in the end. It's remarkable how scholars of the Renaissance (the good ones at least) were invariably antifascists

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other — quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1. Shakespeare's ghost manifests manuscript in Italian to fascist mediums in 1926 2. Orlando Furioso and Star Wars are the same

Teoria e pratica del femminismo ci offrono tre strumenti per liberare i maschi del patriarcato senza odiare la maschilità in sé: l'autocoscienza, la collettivizzazione, la sorellanza. Ci ho scritto un libro. Esce a marzo ma si preordina adesso. www.einaudi.it/catalogo-lib...

trump is unique in that his depravity creates the very cynicism he feeds on. it is necessary to uphold the idea that we are capable of better even if that belief is counterfactual. which is why we need to tell the bureaucracy that their work is valued and that they are holding the line for us.

This is an excellent time to re-discover Guzzanti's brilliant and prophetic show (and then film) about a bunch of hilariously incompetent fascists colonizing the red planet. Fascists are always bombastic and incompetent. #ItalianStudies

Going back home from holidays in Italy, with two syllabi to finalize for next year. One is about rizz, drip, kitsch and excess. The other one is about philology. Inside me there are two wolves I guess 🐕🐺
