“To do nothing, to put our heads down and go back to work as if everything is normal, is to capitulate, it is to accept that our universities are forever going to be the playthings of right-wing politicians and the rich”

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief. Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs. What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

I think @cignahealthcare.bsky.social automatically rejects every request my doctors make. Why can’t I get an arm monitor so my doctors can keep track of the secondary diabetes I now have thanks to metastatic breast cancer treatment? We need the data to make life altering decisions about my care.

Thanks to all of you who shared my posts. Cigna decided not to reject my doctor’s third request for a PET scan.

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!

At ASECS and having a blast but also working hard. Last night I performed in a readers theater version of the 1760 play Polly Honeycombe. Today I went to a couple of panels. Had a working lunch in service of the Women’s Studies Caucus. Ran the caucus’s business meeting. And got some rest in. 👍🏼👍🏼

Another most excellent article in the new ECF special issue: Born That Way: Asexuality and Kinship in "The History of Mrs Selvyn," by Abigail Zitin muse.jhu.edu/pub/50/artic... ECF 36.1, U of Toronto Press January 2024, pp. 69-90 #18thCentury #C18th #18thC Thanks for reading ECF at Project MUSE!

Abstract: This article expands the critical account of queer orientations in Sarah Scott's Millenium Hall (1762) to include not only sapphic eroticism but also asexuality. In the inset narrative "The History of Mrs Selvyn," Scott focuses on Mrs Selvyn's mother, Lady Emilia Reynolds, who is all too eager to punish herself for having conceived a child out of wedlock. I generate a threefold close reading of Emilia's story, considering it along a spectrum of exemplarity, at one extreme, and feminist subversion, at the other. In between is a symptomatic reading, in which Scott uses the consequence of Emilia's perverse moral scrupulousness—the fragmentation of her family—to indict the sexual double standard. In framing the narrative as the daughter's story, I argue, Scott celebrates Harriot Selvyn's freedom from sexual desire as the apotheosis of her mother's renunciation of sexuality.

Hello. I’m the ASECS Women’s Caucus co-chair and I’m wondering how many of you would like to see the Caucus create an account here. We are ready to exit Twitter aka X. Also curious if you think societies like ours would get a lot of response on Instagram.

CFP: What is the past, present, and future of feminist and queer archival practice? I am thrilled to be editing "The Archival is Political" for @IRWRutgers -- deadline for submissions is December 15, 2023. Please be in touch with any questions!

CFP The Archival is Political We invite interdisciplinary submissions that address the “archival turn” in feminist and queer studies. Submissions may include essays, commentary, criticism, fiction, poetry, and artwork from any discipline. We particularly welcome work that connects archival practice to activism, whether this be archival collections focused on activist history or archival collection as a political project for historical redress. Other topics may include digital archives, fictional archives, archival silences and violence, archival management, and information sciences. Together these contributions will reflect the contradictions of, and aspirations for, feminist and queer archives.
For manuscript preparation details, please see our website at: https://irw.rutgers.edu/about-rejoinder Please send completed written work (2,000-2,500 words max), jpegs of artwork, and short bios to irw@sas.rutgers.edu with “Rejoinder Submission” in the subject line by December 15, 2023.
