Happy #TDOV! Are you Trans in Dayton, Ohio? Here's a zine I made with resources for you (health, food, housing, worship, community, etc.). They could take it all away and I'd still be trans.

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

LISTEN! The number of students of color I informally advise on publishing, fellowship applications, dissertations, job applications, fly outs, etc. could fill an auditorium. And the vast majority do not attend the institution that provides me with a W-2.
This is part of the uncompensated labor that faculty of color are constantly engaged in. & then folks ask us why we're not publishing more. But I've been advising YOUR student behind your back because you've offered them nothing useful besides line edits. And she doesn't even go here!

Statue of Black teen who fought segregation replaces Robert E. Lee at U.S. Capitol
Barbara Rose Johns was only 16 when she led a walkout in 1951 to protest horrendous conditions at her segregated high school for Black students in rural Farmville, Virginia.

People should take a page out of New School faculty's book and start doing forensic accounting for their own institutions using public documents
There is an absolute fucking scandal going down at The New School, wherein at appears that the university is funnelling to a MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL’S BOARD while purging faculty and staff.
This should be headline news.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
