I can hold the dialectic that Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was horrific and dangerous, and I also don’t want to live in a country where speakers at universities get shot in the neck.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

I am once again arguing that if you are an academic still on X to "promote your work" or "network" your ethics are fundamentally compromised and you should be ashamed of yourself.

“Archives that document human experience begin at home, & rely on people whose love for their lives, their friends, & their scenes inspire them to save posters, photographs, & other receipts–online & offline–that document their experiences.”

Beautiful writing on making queer & trans archives.

History isn’t just what survives—it’s what we choose to remember. Too often, queer & trans stories have been erased, forgotten, or hidden away. But archives help reclaim that history, ensuring that future generations can find themselves in the past. blog.archive.org/2025/04/02/v...

Käykää mahd moni vastaamassa, etteivät kyselyyn vastaa vain hallituksen politiikan kannattajat. Tietyt kysymykset olivat hallituksen ideologian mukaisesti HYVIN johdattelevia esim. siinä, että selkeästi haluttiin tuoda esiin ihmisen ”oma vastuu” avuntarpeestaan. Asiat eivät ole niin yksinkertaisia.

It's sort of wild to me that I get to study complex queer theories and do my own research on very niche topics & at the same time elsewhere basic-level information and research about trans and queer people is actively being destroyed and censored.

One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology.

Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over.

Just for context, you know.

Tieteen vapautta uhkaa tutkijoihin ja asiantuntijoihin kohdistuva häirintä, jolla yritetään vaientaa julkisuudessa aktiivisesti toimivia tieteentekijöitä. Se kaventaa tieteen vapautta silloin, kun tutkija päättää uhkailun takia vaihtaa tutkimusaihetta.

Vieraskynä | Tieteen vapaudesta ei pidä tinkiä maailmalla eikä Suomessa
Tieteen vapaus on uhattuna jopa johtavissa tiedemaissa. Autoritaariset johtajat kaventavat tietopohjaista päätöksentekoa.

"It's basic biology" they chant as they destroy all slightly more advanced research that proves them wrong
turns out when transphobes said we need to “follow the science” what they meant is delete it and hide all traces of it

Harvardin julkaisu antaa tutkijoille käytännön ohjeita, miten pelastaa tutkimusdata Trumpin hallinnon hyökkäykseltä tutkimusta vastaan. USA:n tiedeyhteisölle on annettava äänekäs tuki myös Euroopasta.

Ja oltava hereillä, ettei jouduta samalle polulle.

Tämä kertoo mulle lähinnä sen, että hallituksessa ei ihan oikeasti kuunnella mitään, mitä tutkijat, työntekijät ja asiantuntijat yrittävät kertoa. Oon aina ihmetellyt, miksi hallituksen päätökset ei tunnu perustuvaan tietoon vaan pelkkään mutuiluun, mutta ilmeisesti näin se nimenomaan menee.

They decided this already in 2020 with immunocompromised and other disabled and elderly people. Damned us with the ‘innocent’ phrase ‘underlying condition’ as those initial deaths were reported. Thin end of the Nazi wedge starts with us disabled ‘Useless eaters’.
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
