Hello! Here’s an updated profile post/thread 🧵 about who I am and the work I do.
I’m honestly overwhelmed by the volume of follows. If you know me IRL or we’re mutuals elsewhere, please say hi!
My work is rooted in Black feminism, post-colonialism, the glocal, and the universal in the particular.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

I am going to say this only once but fuck these white racists. Fuck them to hell.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that Muslims are a “threat to our freedom” on Tuesday as he targeted the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S. with a foreign terrorist organization label in an escalation of a movement of anti-Muslim hate in the state.

Why we do NOT “gotta hand it to” MTG et al when they say something we agree with.
they're just opportunists. they truly don't mind serving white supremacist patriarchy. they have simply shifted strategy a bit.
I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.
Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths
As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

CPB long known to be the bottom of the LE barrel, which is already a pretty scummy barrel.
“When the Border Patrol was created in 1924, white supremacists entered the agency, building the culture of xenophobia and impunity that exists to this day … CBP agents are arrested for criminal activity and corruption at a per-capita rate that exceeds any other federal agency.”

Tapping the sign: "Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society."—Alice Wong in the Introduction to Disability Visibility
I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."
Getting accommodations in school, uni and/or work: easy, a breeze, even!
Getting a doctor to write you a certificate supporting your needs: EASY!
Working from home: EASY!

My serious take is that Nuzzi committed a huge ethical breach of standards and should be ashamed, not profiting off a book deal and getting a warm and fuzzy profile in the Times.
There are too many good, hard-working ethical reporters out there for this stuff to be rewarded.

Welcome to journalism in 2025, when ethics are not longer required and the whole thing feels like a high school lunchroom, complete with the elitist “You can’t sit with us!” nepo babies at legacy outlets who all write stories about how great their pals are.

My newsletter for Assigned went out a little over an hour ago. It was a dissection of the position NYT is in currently, with a reputation in flux between its past as the most serious, respectable, elite paper in America and its present as the paper that asked Ms. Rachel if she was paid by Hamas.
