we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.

she’s here, and she’s theorising some of the most pressing topics in the humanities!!
![Excerpt from the book’s introduction:
Beyond star, songs, and fans, the chapters in this collection also link thematically along other lines, centering Swift as a lens for theorizing some of the most pressing topics in the humanities. One such theme is media, with analyses of material culture in Swift's album artifacts and assets (Watkinson [that’s me!], Carroll)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gecvigh7j7vrxaezxu5jr7x/bafkreibsipc37zmxsj3pz6jxj25xsgnj2gykclt2trwa4i2gfa6zonuqze@jpeg)

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

old star wars used to reference kurosawa but new star wars references star wars, and you can pretty much apply that to most things now
Not to be a bitch but the thing that people are missing in discussions in how children’s media doesn’t have help kids have curiosity abt art anymore is that like at least 80% of the young animators I have met don’t read and only watch entertainment for children

Historians thought this trans woman was murdered by the Nazis, but she escaped and lived to be 74
We've always been here, and even in the darkest times - we will survive through them. We'll always be here

It is so important that we continue to speak out about British complicity in genocide, but every time that is the main call to action I want to scream that for many people there are material, tangible actions that we can take that go far beyond speaking up.

The reason I can never quit Taylor Swift, no matter how over-exposed she becomes, is because she has a particular, "I MUST RECORD 17 ALBUMS TOMORROW IN CASE I DIE WEDNESDAY" energy that I find intensely relatable. I haven't written a novel yet this year, and that makes me a FAILURE.

editing my 1920s-set book and talking about it/reading bits aloud constantly means that krish and i are now wandering around the house saying things like "darling, that's too horrid" when we're e.g. out of lime juice
