DEI Watch List

Some right wing think tank is making a DEI watchlist of federal employees. There’s a tip line. Tech savvy friends, Gen Zers, furries, & petty folks with some time on your hands, yall know what to do.

Hello #TeamRhetoric, the CCCC Queer Caucus is now on Blue Sky!

It’s official, I received a book contract with University of Pittsburgh Press. I have always dreamed to write a book and now have the opportunity to do so. #rhetoric #crt #lgbtqstudies

Right, and now I am contemplating on going. ATTW announced their first in person conference, but still made opportunities for folks to attend and present at the conference online. C’s can do it!

This is not at all surprising. 🫥

Deadline extended, I encourage folks to apply!

Yay productivity, where have you been? 😅
