Tonight on the BBC is #TrumpandtheTechTitans. Next week I'll be delivering a talk about the closeness between Trump and Silicon Valley's patriarchs at York University for the SATSU: "The tech bro imagination: How transhumanism is taking over the technological future and how we can get it back"

For October's issue of Future Relics (my monthly journal of what I've been reading, seeing and thinking about) includes @andrealongchu.bsky.social latest book, a noteworthy @npr.org podcast series about sex testing and reflections on the great Northern outdoors.

Are universities for education, or for profit?

April next year will be running #TheLondonMarathon for Prostate Cancer Research. This charity means a great deal to me. You can read about my motivation at www.justgiving.com/page/emilyrunsthemarathon - this is also the place to donate (thank you!). Wish me luck! @justgiving.bsky.social

Fortunate to have attended the #JennySaville exhibition at the #NationalPortraitGallery. Her work is kinetic, and in dialogue with the passive nudes of the classical painters. For me, it also emphasised the importance of Gender Studies in a time when Gender Studies courses are being stripped back.

This from the creator Alex Light emphasizes how this new "facial shapewear" from Skims has disturbing historical roots and connotations.

Skims profits off controversy, and I agree with the commentary this so-called "facial shapewear" contributes to the Ozempic culture of slenderness and control of the feminine body. But also it made me think of the book Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings.

Sunday and finishing a book 🫶🏻☕

I'm glad Wimbledon gives women's tennis primetime slots as it is just as accelerating as the men's and there is variety in who reaches the final rounds. And like the teenage boy who sat behind me at Wimbledon said "there are a lot more rallies, it is fun to watch the women's." #WTA

I'm a big tennis fan and I was lucky enough to get tickets to #Wimbledon this year through the ballot. I also attend Eastbourne through the #LTA 🎾

Grateful I was able to attend the Aesop Queer Library. Through Pride their Soho store giveaway books by LGBTQ+ authors for free. I picked Stag Dance by Torrey Peters. I've been a lover of her work since first reading her little Novella 'Infect your friends and loved ones'. #AesopQueerLibrary

In light of Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos's wedding I'm sharing my first Substack post, Imagining Rocket Man. Read it here: open.substack.com/pub/emilyeho... (short read: 5-8 minutes) #Bezos

"but I'll be around for 40+ years." I argue we should pay close attention to how imaginings of transhumanism re-produce in and through powerful social relations among privileged men. You can read it here: eprints.lancs.ac.uk/id/eprint/22...
