I had an amazing time talking with @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social and my partner in crime @claerwen.bsky.social about queer theory and international law
#CalledToTheBar is out! Celebrating the launch of two (!) books @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social talks with @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social and @claerwen.bsky.social about queer theory as a tool for rethinking how law understands power, normativity, and difference.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it
By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind
Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Seems like a good first post. In just over a week, Matt Warren and I will be reconvening Untermorast for the first time in 12 months and this one is going to be extra special with @pipst.bsky.social joining us on stage for a trio set. Really looking forward to this one! Details in the image.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

Such a special event - and my first time being in a room full of queer and femmo international law nerds IRL. Total joy. (and not dissimilar to hanging out with radio art nerds). Congrats @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social and @claerwen.bsky.social (+ authors!) on your quiblings!!

MIT has a set of books labelled "Open Access" but it's a little clunky to find them on the MIT Press site, and so I've gone ahead and mirrored 400+ of them here:
