My first set of posts here are going to be about fantastic scholars who've taught me so much about reading, writing and research in the past couple of years. So grateful (and gleeful) to have learnt from them!

Before I taught tonite, I read Jina Kim's brilliant introduction and paused at this beautiful line:
“I examine some of the ways that queer people have
acted as infrastructure for one another through sickness and death, when nothing else in the world will hold us."
“I examine some of the ways that queer people have
acted as infrastructure for one another through sickness and death, when nothing else in the world will hold us."
In "Care at the End of the World," Jina B. Kim develops what she calls crip-of-color critique, bringing a disability lens to bear on feminist- & queer-of-color literature in the aftermath of US welfare reform. Read the intro for free on our website now! #DisabilityStudies

This is what we get when we treat billions as a proxy for brilliance: men who know nothing but think they know everything because their money lets them do whatever they want.
Elon Musk is hosting an X "Space" right now w/ Vivek Ramaswamy, and demonstrating a weaker grasp of our system of government than a freshman political science student.

There's is enough wealth in the US for everyone to have a home, but it's concentrated in the 1% who plan to squeeze everyone else to poverty and death to get wealthier. An 18% increase in homelessness due to unaffordable housing is a feature of the system not a bug.

U.S. homelessness jumps to another record high, amid affordable housing shortage
The annual federal count finds more than 770,000 people living in shelters or outside. It cites rising rents and the recent surge in migrants as key factors behind the increase.
