I successfully defended my big gay cruising PhD last week. Once I fix the (many) typos, I'll put up a download link here for anyone that's a nerd for hauntology, sexual politics and queer theory 👀🫂👻

Fuck the Oscars.
tylercoates.bsky.social Tyler Coates @tylercoates.bsky.social · Mar 27
AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.
“Dear Academy members, At the heart of the Academy's mission is a commitment to honoring excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences and connecting the world through the power of cinema. We do this through our work on the Oscars, our exhibitions and programs, our preservation and education efforts, and so much more. We believe deeply in the ability of film to illuminate, to provoke thought, and to bridge divides by offering a window into diverse human experiences.” “We fundamentally believe that film has the power to enlighten global audiences and highlight different perspectives - and we encourage our members to use their art to do so. The Academy condemns harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints. We are living in a time of profound change, marked by conflict and uncertainty - across the globe, in the U.S., and within our own industry. Understandably, we are often asked to speak on behalf of the Academy in response to social, political, and economic events. In these instances, it is important to note that the Academy represents close to 11,000 global members with many unique viewpoints.” “We are, however, united in a shared belief in the importance of storytelling, in the value of empathy, and in the role of film as a catalyst. As an organization, our focus continues to be the celebration of creative voices that make up the global film community - and supporting your freedom to create, to challenge, and to imagine. We remain steadfast in this work, and we are grateful to walk alongside each of you in it. Bill Kramer and Janet Yang”

Israel killed 412 Palestinians in 12 hours. If this isn’t genocide, then genocide as a concept doesn’t exist

Elon Musk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But Ebola programs are still in tatters, along with other livesaving efforts like AIDS treatments for children.

Image from Thomas Roma’s photobook, In the Vale of Cashmere; a cruising ground in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park mainly frequented by Black and Latino men. G. Winston James wrote that for many men, the park was “a final destination” not “a way station to the greater gay world”.

JGP has a great chapter here about the purging of street queens and radicals from the queer movement in the 1970s. While it was certainly a campaign of trans misogyny waged by gay men, it was first and foremost a campaign waged against working class radicals and leftist priorities

Miss Major Griffin-Gacy, one of the Black trans women who was at Stonewall on the night of the first riot - she fought back, got knocked out and spent the rest of the night in the Tombs - is still fighting for trans rights. She spoke with @samtlevin.bsky.social in 2023.

The Stonewall Memorial website has removed mention of trans people

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.” Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”

The latest clarification on how PEPFAR funds may be used, issued today limits PrEP only for pregnant women and breastfeeding women. Women in Africa participated in research studies that allowed us to understand how these medications work many did so with the promise of continued access post study.
