Copy of the book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body. The book is laying against a tree trunk with little flowers around it. The book cover is lavender with the top half of a naked character wih breasts and the bottom half of a naked character with a penis.

Screenshot reading: Featuring critical essays, erotica, and stitched-up memories, Gender/Fucking explores sexual arousal as a site of knowledge about the self and world.Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a bit too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminine activist, academic, and slut to interrogate what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult yet occasionally loving world. With personal essays about the fetishization of trans bodies, recovering from surgery, and losing hope, Florence’s collection celebrates the queer messiness of sex and identity.Through the embrace of its raw and lyrical prose, Gender/Fucking invites the reader into the intimate world of academic smut to ask what it means to be horny on main in a sex-negative world-and what power it might hold.

Picture of the first page of the book reading “Preface” and with the following sentences highlighted: “Academic smut should be a recognized genre. It merges two of the things that make me horny – theory, and sex. In that order.”

🚨📚 Today is release day for my new book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body!
 
Asking what we can learn from sexual arousal, the book takes an incredibly raw and thought-provoking look at community, queerness, fetishization, trauma, and hope.

The best time to restart masking is at the onset of this COVID wave, the second best time is today (whatever day you are reading this).

It’s worth reading the whole letter. Then it’s worth thinking in depth about its implications across the board. It should not be easy reading for anyone.

U.N. human rights lawyer resigns, criticizes the agency and calls the Israeli strikes in Gaza ‘gen...

The director of the New York office of the UN’s human rights agency has resigned. “We are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the Organization that we serve appears powerless to stop it,” he wrote in a letter.

People do not seem to think that understanding history deeply helps with understanding present problems, and it’s fascinating to see how the erosion of the humanities has contributed to this.

Screenshot of the antisemitic, Islamophobic Hawley Resolution which passed unanimously in the Senate, which falsely frames all protests in solidarity with Palestinians and against the genocidal bombing of Gaza as "Pro-Hamas" instead.

This Senate resolution is fully fascistic AND extremely antisemitic AND Islamophobic. I am outraged.

It falsely frames all student protests in solidarity with Palestinians and against the genocidal bombing of Gaza as "Pro-Hamas" instead.

Not in my fucking name.

The sheep's back was exposed and rotted away, leaving the spine and a portion of its ribcage visible. However, the portion of the sheep below the surface of the frigid water has been preserved intact.

The #DisabledInSTEM feed is at 21 users! I think I’ve heard when we hit 100 it becomes eligible to show up in the feed search?

Would appreciate boosts 🧪 so we can reconnect and establish community over here.

Lol, definitely easier to manage when they can take care of their own basic functions. Little kids are real cute from a distance, but actually taking care of them is definitely a lot

A woman (me) with blue hair, red glasses, a sleeveless top with a bandaid on one shoulder, holding a piece of paper with the COVID vaccine info.

Couldn't come too soon either, while work is telling people who are positive to come right on in 🙃

In a race between gains and fixation, I think the fixation will probably win
