I can't tell you how dizzying and depressing it is to go from one of most vibrant WGSS Departments in the country, making hires and taking names, to being rapidly extinguished, all within the last year. Making the Public Sphere White Male Again is happening fast. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

UT cuts all women and gender classes from core curriculum, drops race classes

The provost’s office also eliminated dozens of courses on race from counting toward the core curriculum.

He did not need to go there. He could have stuck to his weak-ass "trans people are not the source of our problems" dodge...that was working just fine without him having to actually support your/our rights (my kids are trans)

A superb short history of the mechanical reproduction/creation of artworks, starting with medieval scribes. This is worth a read, but in sum: artists gonna art. Link in comments so I can put a picture here.

I do love how this starts out with a tribute to early 20th century lesbian icons! Edith Sitwell, Gertrude (Stein) and Alice (Toklas). That's how Tim Curry does the Rock.

We were at Queen’s at the same time. The Queen’s Journal reached out to me this week bc apparently, when I was Entertainment Editor in 1984-85, I assigned the first-ever review of the Tragically Hip!

I'm grateful to my colleagues at the HIGHER ED ADVOCATE for allowing me to share my testimony on how quickly censorship and self-censorship has taken over at UT Austin. It's a free fall, y'all. higheredadvocate.substack.com?utm_source=n...

And the tenure denial of the one tenure-stream hire of all time in that department. It's sad everywhere. Solidarity.

I LOVE THIS. I've been in at least 2 meetings with our "founding fathers fan" Provost when he has complained that students don't read the declaration of independence....I'm all, I TEACH THE DEC OF IND! REGULARLY! Dude, I'm an 18th-centuriest. But somehow he can't quite hear me.

You know what takes the sting out of removing “Dept. Chair, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies” from all my signatures? (My uni closed our department starting tomorrow.) Replacing it with “New Book Available for Pre-Order”! Turn my frown upside down by clicking on the link in comments.

This is great. There was no need for Wilson to be so snarky about the film, especially because Nolan was so gracious about her translation. It's a summer blockbuster movie that is giving me the "hot epic poem summer" I didn't know I needed!

I got lucky and got @rcolesworthy.bsky.social as my editor for my forthcoming crazy creative-critical hybrid volume, HOW LESBIANS SAVED POETRY. The SUNY Press fall catalog just dropped and mine is a Featured Book! Rebecca and I would both love it if you pre-ordered a copy. Link in comments.

Best juxtaposition of title and subtitle ever. I notice that the press lists the subtitle as "The Chaotic Space Where Books Are Made," even though that's not what it says on the cover! What could it mean.

Nope nope nope. I served on the Research Integrity review committee on my campus; unattributed or wrongly attributed quotes happen. Mistakes are made. But whose mistakes are tracked down and become national news? Those whose status as belonging in the professoriate is already contested.

International Portrait Day gives me chance to share this delightfully odd picture, created by a talented friend who wanted to depict Madge and I as “lesbian icons.” This is an AI mashup of a photo of me and a 19thc portrait from the National Gallery in London! #InternationalPortraitDay

Whoops it's actually in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. "The Artist Jeanna Bauck" by her lover, Bertha Wegman. I often sit with legs and arms crossed like this. Uncanny!

Father's Day is not really a thing in our two-mom family, but liberation and social justice certainly are. Boots Riley talks about learning from his father to live a life that mixes art, organizing, and family in this essay, a great Sunday read. lareviewofbooks.org/article/boot...
