So thrilled to be offering this panel at SCMS with @amyherzog.bsky.social, Valeria Sonna, Véronica Kretschel and Amanda Lagerkvist. Who am I gonna see in Chicago?

Really thrilled for this panel discussion on Wednesday with @slothprof.bsky.social. Disability folks and affect folks and really any academic folks should be reading her stunning Dear Elia.

Zizek is, among many other things, a clown- but he may be optimally positioned (biographically and methodologically) to understand and explain the obscenity of this moment.

Much better than 2016’s viral poem, “Good Bones.” I don’t wanna sell my kids on this world.

I think I really thought so

I don’t know why this one hit after so much appalling coverage of Netanyahu’s monstrosity, but whoa. “Mistakes were made”
🤢

Riveting. SO much better than the standard journalistic “commercial meat is murder” narrative. Yes AND this is the norm for how our food is produced. AND labor might shape our lives in a different way to capital. Violence, death, reason run amok — and also intimacy, mystical heuristics, necromancy.

Got a teensy royalty check for this cutie today. Not bad for an academic book published 8 years ago. It’s sorta celebrity death plus autotheory…that yellow dead guy is wearing a white “glove” cos he’s supposed to be MJ.

I’m making garam masala and thinking about how to eat together is to be in a body in an intimate and loving way. It requires safety and care. If nothing else, I can make a little of that for a very few, very dear, very proximate bodies. Masalas against heartbreak.
