Reading Puar's "Bodies with New Organs" which was written in 2015, remembering how nice it was to have to worry about whether we were going to develop a transnormativity the way we've developed a homonormativity and now I just kinda want to go back to that question and not "when do I run?"

Honestly, my takeaway from visiting the British Museum today is that every empire that is of this world will crumble and fall, and only the Word of God endures. ⚓️

Me, in a literal exam right now: "And if the academy is bound and determined to use “queer” as a verb, then let it mean this: to queer something is to see its opacity (a la Glissant) and honor it as opaque." This is an exegetical essay. I am so cooked...

If you're against ICE when it's being used as intended from a republican admin but not against ICE when it's being used as intended from a democrat admin, then you're not actually pro-immigration. You're just someone who dislikes Trump and doesn't want to think about the humanity of others too hard

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Apparently "Resolved, that this 115th Convention of the Diocese of Olympia affirm there is to be no use of Large Language Models in the creation of sermons, prayers, liturgies, or in the offering of pastoral care in the Diocese of Olympia; and be it further" was both not clear enough (enforceable?)

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

Is anyone else not really fussed about gafcon leaving the Communion? They’ve always wanted to claim some ownership over what orthodoxy means, and that’s just not a good way to stay in community together. It’s always been so paternalistic, which I guess has always been the point. Ciao, I guess 🤷‍♀️
