communist, prison abolitionist, criminologist, cool mum 🌱 university lecturer, unless you're one of my students, in which case you didn't see me on here
This weekend I was granted life membership in Auckland Pride, only the third person to be recognised like this. I'm honoured, but I was recognised for being one prominent spokesperson for the radical vision of what Pride could be - not because I'm an individual, but because I'm part of a collective.

When I'm giving a lecture and I can see that people are getting bored or checking out, I just start telling jokes or swearing so they get pulled back in. I've been really dragging on this part of my book so I've started just doing the same thing and writing down how I actually think about this stuff

USA TODAY BEST-SELLER BLACK FLAME, debuting higher on the list than CUCKOO ever made it
God, I'm so grateful to all of you. Thank you for making it possible for me to have this career I've been dreaming about since I was fourteen.

the hardest part of being a precarious academic worker is that you need to have research outputs to get a big girl job, but in order to get a big girl job, you must write job applications instead of working on research outputs

As our press spokesperson @cannibality.bsky.social explained on this Marae panel, the FBI Wellington office must close, because it will further subordinate us to American capitalist imperialism through it advising New Zealand Police to more effectively repress Māori, Pasifika, workers and the left.

The American spy base opening in Wellington is a backdoor to American imperialism controlling our country. We must reject our comprador government's attempts to tie us into the American empire. Join us tomorrow at 1pm outside the US consulate and show we want these spies out!

I can't remember if I read in Stone or Serano the framing that doctors wrote books about how to distinguish the few worthy trans people from the unworthy crowd and then had a profession-wide meltdown when they discovered that trans people can read books
Sandy Stone's 'Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto' talks about this, and the sheer resentment, bitterness, and petty vitriol sexologists and medical professionals direct at trans women for "gaming" their shitty, worthless, fucked-up system.
It's been going on forever.

Yes but, and this might sound insane to cis people but it literally just is, they will still say that

my partner is like a cat when she gets sick (disappears, does not want to be perceived, will refuse care) and our daughter and I are both like dogs (whining, flopping around the house, chewing the furniture)
