Whenever I watch You've Got Mail, I worry a bit that I'm Frank

But at what cost?

This is absolutely horrifying

I had such an amazing time in Zaragoza, meeting brilliant colleagues from across Europe. Very thankful that Carlos Domper invited me to deliver the keynote at this conference

Mañana toca volver a casa, a Zaragoza, para participar en el seminario de VOICES. Red de Investigación. En mi caso, presentando la conferencia inaugural de Sam C H 🏳️‍🌈 con un título tan sugerente como “Doing Queer History With, Around, and Beyond the State”. Planazo para cerrar la semana 😎

Are you setting up your fall seminar series? Are you obsessed with counterinsurgency or histories of colonial violence? Do you want the hot gossip on which French military theorist is the biggest fraud*? Then you should invite me to talk about my forthcoming book!

JKR is in her Holocaust denial era, so here's a thread of reading/viewing recommendations about trans experiences under Nazism 🧵

Obviously not Kate

Thank you georgia for such an incisive, generous review of A Queer Theory of the State!

We shouldn’t credit Rowling with any shock-value at her latest tirade against trans people. As if this is new. It’s just facile distortions of a discourse she wants to weaponize.
