Legacies of Eugenics in Science
The rise of eugenics in contemporary US policy has roots in the history of science--a history that we have yet to fully redress.

Taking a moment to honor my feminist predecessors, specifically Amina Mama at @ucdgender.bsky.social for receiving an honorary doctorate from Nelson Mandela University in South Africa for her work in African feminist theory. She was also the founding director of the UCD Feminist Research Institute!

I missed seeing Alexis Pauline Gumbs at #NWSA2024 because I felt under the weather. Sad, but I know I made the right choice. It just motivates me more to find another occasion.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Is anyone working on a feminist STS (science and technology studies) starter pack? Should I work on one?
November 16, 2024 at 4:59 AM
The starter packs are awesome. I just used a bunch to follow feminist, book lovers, and academics. I anticipate trimming down over time. But it’s just really cool to have a place to start.

Incredibly grateful to Alexis Pauline Gumbs for her wisdom on election day, and to Audre Lorde for writing the words that inspired Gumbs. See her Nov 6 livestream on Instagram to know what I'm talking about
