Notice how the idiot telling us to "move on" from the Epstein files released six days ago never shuts up about an election that happened SIX YEARS AGO?

Sexuality doesn’t exist outside of culture, which is why I’m thrilled to be joining the Editorial Board of Sexuality & Culture!

Also one of my earliest publication homes. Full circle moment.

Let’s keep pushing the field forward!

Wild how happy I am to have graded a whole set of not amazing papers. Why? They were all written by humans, not AI.
(Begged students to just write badly* bx they don't know how to write literature reviews yet. It worked!)
*They weren't actually bad. Saying they would be took the pressure off of.

It's been a rough go of it lately but a sweet intro student told me that I have "Rapunzel hair" and then several came up after class to tell me how much they like the course. So, there's that.

How was your Thursday?

10 years ago today, I was offered a permanent job at MO State. (I started working here as a Visiting Professor, which is a temporary job.) So, this is my 11th year here. Longest I've ever lived/worked in the same place, so pretty wild for me. :)

Since I'm never going to get to be a real Mimi, anyone want to adopt me as a spare grandparent? 😥

The police abducting the police. Plot twists this season
He yells, “I’m a corrections officer”, but ICE didn’t give a sh*t.

MAINE: 7 ICE agents against one “squeaky clean” corrections recruit.

The sheriff said, “They all took off leaving his car with the windows down, the lights on, unsecured and unoccupied. Folks, that’s bush league policing.”

I don’t know, ICE taking babies off the street and imprisoning them seems like a kitchen table issue.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.
