This was a surreal full-circle for me, to be surrounded by an organisation and a community that had (literally) violently rejected me and the critique I was helping to raise, and be embraced and acknowledged. Pride is different today, in part because of the work we did.

It's been long enough now since it happened that people often don't know, but along with Ti Lamusse and Justine Sachs, I was part of a protest against Pride in 2015 to criticise cops and prison guards leading the parade.

I did like 8,000 words of straightforward political economic history, so I get to start opening paragraphs like this now:

so like this section is a history of the world economy from 1929-todayish, and it's obviously dry. instead of just struggling through I've just been giving my own Mystery Science Theatre-style running commentary on what I'm talking about. I hope this is a good idea lol

we're good! Kendra's PhD is coming along, and my book is just about ready for me to send it to the publisher 😭😭😭 This student and I were talking about managers and professionals in the class structure and they were only really familiar with much weaker analyses than yours - they seemed excited!

🫡🫡🫡 hope you're doing well! I was actually just talking about your book with a student, I'll let you know what they thought of it 😋

when I was in London last year I thought I was being transphobically gangstalked by people carrying harry potter merch before I realised my hotel was just next to a random unbranded harry potter merch store.
