Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

I am ELEVEN YEARS older than this dude???!!!?!?!!!? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I am a literal living miracle as I’ve lived here 19 years, walk all the time, and have never been shot!

94% of sentences that begin “We were on different sides but….” are politically reactionary garbage.

Rethinking Abortion Rights After Dobbs This book offers a novel account of the normative foundations of abortion rights informed by political theory and feminist theory

My new book is out now! Grim subject (abortion rights and reproductive justice after Dobbs) but still fulfilling to explore so carefully. Hopefully also worth a read!

Another nail in the very nailed coffin of the “is Trumpism fascism?” debate

We should view taxing billionaires not as a recurring source of revenue but as a strategy for eliminating them as a class.

Medicaid covers half the nation's children, in case any pronatalists wanted to pretend for 45 seconds not to be raving hypocritical misogynistic tools.

Evidently at least one athlete managed to get a last minute emergency visa. Great for him, but still seems like a completely unacceptable risk for major sporting events in the U.S!

How is that going to work? How can we even ask athletes to risk coming here under this administration? We should lose these events.

I know competitive climbing is a tiny niche sport, but the U.S. is also supposed to host upcoming soccer World Cup and Olympics.

So all South Korean male athletes and coach were just denied visas to enter the U.S. for a climbing World Cup in SLC.

And these are so often the places that need to hear these messages most! It almost (almost) makes this Memphian pine for the Covid days when everything was on Zoom.

I understand there are practical considerations and arrangements that produce this outcome, but it’s depressing to feel like huge swaths of the country are just shut out of this kind of intellectual life.

I find it funny, in an lolcry sort of way, that the list of red flag terms for federal funding includes both “pregnant people” and “women”. 🤡

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

1) short book theorizing a combined privacy/equality rationale for reproductive freedom after Dobbs

2) the politics of climbing, of course! 🧗

Oh also my dog is really cute….

When I’m not working I’m probably climbing or eating or fantasizing about the next time I’ll go climbing or the next thing I’ll eat!
