Started my day w coffee, nerdy sweaters, and an inspiring and energizing conversation on queer and trans memory, liberalism, and academia with @sebboo.bsky.social whose book does such an excellent framing of global queer memory cultures and their transatlantic transfers. I keep on going back to it!

Zwei Fotos, die von einem vertikalen türkisen Streifen getrennt werden. Über den Bildern bewegt sich eine gelbe Linie wellenfÀrmig von links nach rechts. Auf dem linken Foto sitzt Andrea Rottmann in einem blauen Anzug an einem Tisch. Sie blickt in Publikum, dessen Hinterkâpfe zu sehen sind. Hinter ihr wird eine PowerPoint auf einem Bildschrim freigegeben. Auf dem rechten Bild ist ein Bücherstapel des Buches "Queer Lives Across The Wall" von Andrea Rottmann. Das oberste Buch steht aufrecht auf dem Stapel.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.
