There are no words for what seeing Wicked last night meant to me. I was fully weeping during Defying Gravity. My existence was queer theory going into the theater and queer praxis coming out of it.

I had an amazing time tonight celebrating my grantee and hero Jody Lewen and the accomplishments of the students, staff, alumni of Mount Tamalpais College. Jody has been the North Star for the higher education in prison field and I’m in awe of what she’s done to transform the lives of her students.

Such a treat to be at The New School tonight to mark the launch of Sara Ahmed’s latest book “The Feminist Killjoy Handbook” as part of The New School’s Mellon Initiative for Inclusive Faculty Excellence. Speaking of excellence, I also finally got to meet the wonderful @devawo.bsky.social in person!

I’ve been to Javits and Four Freedoms Park within the last month so I can say I’ve visited two places in NYC where I feel the trauma of Hillary Clinton’s election loss.

You’re reading way too much and badly interpreting Joy DeGruy and not enough basic materialism. And that’s how you get “if black people inherit trauma from slavery, what do white people inherit” rather than an understanding of psychosocial translations/inheritances and ongoing material violences.

I’ve learned so much from working on our prison education grants at the Mellon Foundation in my year plus in this job. If I’ve learned nothing else, it’s that offering higher education inside is not worth it if we’re just replicating all the things that are bad about higher ed on the outside.
