Marzia D'Amico

(not so) Fun Fact: I still misgender myself quite often – that’s how deeply ingrained language binarism is. This also teaches me to be more forgiving when faced with an honest mistake. That said, I can almost always tell when it’s a matter of laziness (=privilege). So please, stay aware and mindful.

Carissima ⥀ Un dialogo con Giulia Niccolai – ARGO Marzia D'Amico, studiosa di poesia sperimentale verbivocovisiva, dialoga con la poetessa Giulia Niccolai in una poesia inedita.

Oggi mi manca moltissimo Giulia Niccolai. Qui avevo immaginato un dialogo poetico, fatto di ricordi e serendipità:

So apparently this image had me censored on this platform for being sexually hinting at what? Suggesting what? To read a book? (It is literally a segment of Bosch on a book cover)

The curse of being perceived and socialized as a woman is that colleagues – men above all – expect little of you. The gift, paradoxically, is to embrace this infamy in hard times and find breath in not having to always overexert.

I just want to reassure everyone who may be wondering about it: postal service customer care in Portugal is just as bad as in Italy.

Grazie a chi scrive e a chi legge.

This is moving, since both in PT and IT I conform to ela/lei most of the times – but I invited students to please be caring and not afraid of making mistakes, to know that I will be appreciative despite the risk of misgendering me by mistake. And they were very receptive and respectful in many ways.

Gender euphoria is a non-English native speaker student cc'ing me and referring to me perfectly with they/them pronouns. #AcademicLife

La ghinea di febbraio Blasted di Sarah Kane

Anche questo mese come ogni mese un (con)tributo alla sorellanza chiamato Ghinea Newsletter.

Yea but what about kids are sooooo alright I had to rewrite my introductory lessons because they could deal right away with Xenofeminism? I feel tired and blessed #Academia #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

It's been many years since I first taught a class, and I still can barely breathe the day before a new course. Will I be good? Will I be interesting? Am I truly prepared for the role? Is it impostor syndrome, or simply genuine care for my role as an educator? #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter #Academia

..and—above all—about how we should open a spritz bar and call it SPRITZATURA.
Thank you, Martin. In a world that often fosters alienation, you always reminded us that humanity is the only path for those who choose to work within the Humanities.

One of my earliest memories at the University of Oxford is (surprisingly, I know, and therefore so precious) a conversation about the importance of making higher education accessible, about local and global anti-classist movements, about squats and occupazioni as forms of owed social restitution..

We lost Martin McLaughlin, Emeritus Agnelli-Serena Professor of Italian Studies at University of Oxford, and with him gone, the world is lacking some genuine generosity, among many other qualities as he had and always shared as a person, a tutor, a scholar. You will be missed.

Hi Constantine,

"The event will be introduced by Professor Gary Francione."

Gary uses his online platform to spread transphobic terms like "trans ideology" and "TRA", puts trans guy in inverted commas, and is generally an anti-trans activist, so why he is introducing your pro-trans talk here?

Don't get me wrong, I personally love going to conferences and meet colleagues and exchange ideas while having a coffee, but as someone with reduced mobility the fact we gave up on hybrid sessions so quickly post-Covid is killing me. Literally killing me. #AcademicChatter #Academia

The excerpt from William and the Werewolf showing singular they spelled with a Thorn

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”

When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

Considering to actually give a chance to this platform given latest events but I am an old soul with difficult understanding of new designs and techs.
Good ppl in here pls do suggest me who to follow to make it good.

Si sta bene anche solə.
