regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Really excited to have the opportunity to talk about my research into trans life in the Edwardian folk revival at the home of English folk music this summer. Come along if you like your music festivals to have a history lecture in the middle! (Also, the rest of the lineup looks just incredible!)

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at Le Monde Diplomatique in France. I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.

What is one to conclude from the contrast between the AHA’s position on Ukraine and its position on Gaza other than it believes some people’s histories are worth more than others?

today the House passed a Trans Sports ban, and they will likely forward a federal Trans Bathroom Ban soon. my latest essay is a deep-dive into research studies that debunk such such legislation & chronicle the long history of smearing marginalized groups as "sexual predators": youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY
