What's creepier? The guy who pretended to throw up at my sight this morning? Or the one who sent me a DM about wanting to be friends and right away asked about my genitals?

Francis Ray White explains that fatness is perceived socially as failing gender. In other words, fat women are perceived as having failed at womanhood, and fat men are perceived as having failed at manhood. White suggests reclaiming this failure as genderqueer.

My Sherwood Forest angel ain’t so big on wearing pants
Face as cute as kittens, can he please be my mate?
And show me all the downstairs Disney did not animate

I was almost disqualified from something important, because the administrator had never heard of nonbinary pronouns and didn't understand why my application was written in plural. It ended well but I do NOT feel welcome.

I have 4 huge tasks that are as urgent as one another. I made a pretty list breaking them into smaller tasks and everything.
But basically I do a bit of one and return to staring at them, feeling stuck. So now I'm writing this here, I'm going to try to focus for 3 rounds of ten minutes each. #ADHD

Do any fellow academic geeks want to talk about their favorite film or piece of popular culture? Do you have research you'd like to plug? We can talk about that too! I'm scheduling recordings for 2026. Message me or email the podcast at thesociologistsdojo@gmail.com, and we can get the ball rolling.

My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle!
A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up!
Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆

It has been an experience writing/releasing this book given the current state of things, but the entire core of Magica Riot: Full Bloom is empathy and love and mutual aid. It showcases the heart I want the series to have going forward. It feels like the right moment to do it.
PDX queer magical girls are back! As they face two very different villains, Magica Riot must find a new approach to their magic and music, with help from unexpected friends!
“Magica Riot: Full Bloom” is a big, deeply queer magical girl adventure. Ebook pre-orders are up at magicariot.com/fullbloom

really something seeing that “women & non-binary” voice actor thing going around w/ no trans women or AMAB enbies and the original writer’s like “I’ve never met an AMAB enby” and ignores trans women
Like…I’m not even *in* the industry and I know multiple trans women voice actors. Skill issue.
