I picked this up at Laurie's Planet of Sound in Chicago. So funky, smart, and nasty! All hail Betty Davis.

Nothing like a picket line to give you political energy and a sense of solidarity! We have been negotiating a contract for a full year. The ISU admin has been dragging its feet. We don't want to strike, but we will if necessary. In solidarity with students and academic workers everywhere

Judge Reyes schools Trump's lawyers on intersex. This makes me happy, not only as an intersex person but as a theorist of gender, sex, and sexuality.

Congratulations to Dr. Edmund Ankomah, who was officially awarded his doctorate today. His dissertation is entitled “Fabulating the Alien: Black Speculative Fiction and a Rereading of the Xenological Archive." Brilliant, ground-breaking work!

Getting ready to deliver this talk at the University of Iowa tomorrow. The election makes me want to double down in doing pro-trans and po-intersex work. We are not going to stop talking about this.

Reading my colleague Touré Reed's book, Toward Freedom: The Case against Race Reductionism. We have both been selected to deliver the College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Lectureship here at ISU (me in the fall and he in the spring).
