Finally going to teach the Feminist Theory course next semester

Didn’t become a big pop culture deal until Man Who Would Be Queen and Jorgensen still wouldn’t have been around for it

The public always wants its Silence of the Lambs, now with extra anachronism (Jorgensen passed in 1989, autogynephilia didn’t become pop culture theory until 2003)

Record: Mahler is Heavy, featuring Mahler’s 7th and 4th. Has a cool psychedelic owl for some reason

Pulled out this record to celebrate finally watching Tár

Gradually ship of Theseus-ing my discontinued 2017 Panasonic vacuum

Making the government think I’m spreading gender ideology when I’m actually spreading affect theory

There was a larger push to defund the arts over Tongues Untied (it aired on PBS)!

I was trying to find the one with parts of Tongues Untied in it!

If the Bush senior administration was running today I bet it would be “read my lips… no new transsexuals” !

You’d think the life of an LGBTQ studies professor is glamorous but I just watched every single 1992 campaign ad and interview for Pat Buchanan

Saw a squirrel kill and eat a mouse today

No not yet!

Oof really didn’t like The Substance

Beautiful autumn day in upstate New York picking up strawberry rhubarb pie at the historic cider mill getting my order of winter tires and making arrangements for the cat just in case the government labels trans critics as terrorists

Buffalo! I'll be in town Oct. 26–27 for a screening of I Saw the TV Glow at Hallwalls and a trans studies symposium at UB. Both are free and open to the public. I'm hosting the film with @amymarvin.bsky.social and we'll be doing a joint talk about it at the symposium.

Excited to be part of this *incredible* trans studies lineup in Buffalo next month!

Really surreal reading this as our government tries its hardest to make being trans as miserable an experience as possible

Things sure would be wild for someone writing a book on unhealthy public obsessions with trans people right now

here are the first four pages of the zine I've been working on, sort of an experimental photocomic based on a poem using a process inspired by filmmaker Artavazd Peleshian's theory of distance montage

I have a few remaining copies of my 2020 poetry collection, Taphonomy, for sale on my bandcamp page. The publisher doesn't exist anymore, so these are the last print copies there will ever be.

Picked up NY license plates and a campus parking pass so the new job is feeling very official now!

How we Make Each Other or, How is this Book Philosophy? For years now, I have grappled with how to do philosophy as a trans person and how to do philosophy from the social position of trans. While the former simply negotiates my standing as gender-marginal...

How might we do philosophy *with* and *for* trans people, & *in* the places where trans people are? How might work with interviews, archives, & community phenomenologies be philosophical? Could trans philosophy open the way for a revolution in philosophical method? blog.apaonline.org/2025/08/06/h...

Just found out seven years into the relationship that my girlfriend is a Phish phan
