no borders, no police, no prisons. no occupation of palestine. transsexual, aspiring inanimate object. also a theorist of trans and queer mobilities and social reproduction. gaza will be free.
I missed this a few weeks ago but grateful to revisit it today. We do have an opening to encourage opposition to deportation and borders per se, I think. While the kidnappings, detentions, and deportations are spectacles rather than hidden away in administrative bureaucracy.

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau shows deep subprime loans at levels as high as in late 2007, right before the 2008 crash. They’ve been like this since shooting up when people lost jobs during 2020. www.consumerfinance.gov/data-researc...

I’m more optimistic that the death cult haven’t calculated how much serious unrest will mess up their plans. But this interpretation is spot-on.

Columbia appears to be negotiating to comply with the absurd demands made by the federal government. In particular, Columbia admin agreeing to put the MESAAS department under receivership, but under a "more agreeable" name so they can present it in a positive light.

“Don’t find too many descendants on this reparations project that is literally all about locating descendants of people enslaved by Harvard!”
“But we found quite a few.”
“Oops, we fired you and your whole team. No reason. Bye!”

Devastated to learn from my colleague Don Romesburg that the Sonoma State University Women’s and Gender Studies Department is being eliminated, and all its tenured faculty are being fired, as part of “budget reductions”. wgs.sonoma.edu

It’s my little kid’s first birthday today! We somehow made it through this year. Today I also found out I tore off most of my hamstring in a climbing fall in December, and need surgery to reattach it ASAP. Then hip surgery once I’m fully recovered. Gonna have to get very fast on my crutches.

Institutional playbook: 1. Under-resource interdisciplinary departments, forcing them to cover curriculum and admin with external faculty 2. Claim that’s evidence of mishandled resources 3. Cut the department entirely when legislators make threats. Solidarity with colleagues at UI, this is absurd.

In an effort to create my own better vibes, I climbed today, harvested the last vegetables from the garden, and made flank steak, chard in red curry sauce, and roasted cauliflower for dinner. Here are two cats begging subtly for flank steak scraps

Listen to this, or read the transcript. It might give you some permission to name the messy feelings we're all experiencing rn. It took days to find time to listen to this precisely bc I'm swinging back and forth between trying to be professional and falling apart. So grateful for this work.

I remember back in May 2023 when I was wondering whether I wanted a code, hanging back, not asking any mutuals on the hell site. Being a reluctant late early adopter like usual. Still got in the first 10% though!

My kid and I looked through her third grade journals this week and I found pages of notes about Palestine. They did major projects on Asia at the end of term; hers was on India. “Oh yeah,” she said, “I wanted to do mine on Palestine at first but for some reason I changed to India.”
