Dr. Nikko Stevens

Thanks, Eric!! I hope all is well up there!

Me too! We’re even closer now!

It is so lovely!

Hi - some good news amidst the bad news: This week I start as an Assistant Professor of Data Science at Smith College.

SAME!

omg today I learned...

all it took for me to become a prison abolitionist was a few years of reading simple factual accounts of what happens in jails and prisons

Tonight: Providence! With @drnikko.bsky.social at Symposium Books.

The complete works of Stephen Sondheim and the relative merits of every cast recording / production / libretto change - thanks teenage obsessiveness.

Support the TJA Together, we can promote more accurate, nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media while also supporting gender-expansive journalists in their workplaces and careers. Join the TJA'...

Making a donation to @transjournalists.org 1) feels much better than doomscrolling and 2) is a measurable way of more helping trans people report on trans issues on a local and federal level in the US: www.transjournalists.org/donate/

<3 Birds of a feather, my friend! <3

I wrote a multi-page rhyming couplet poem about how Santa Claus is a fascist and the reindeer & elves were due for an Attica-style uprising to assert their rights and work for freedom. I gave it to my mother as an xmas present.

My condolences to your family in this time of great loss.

I'm very far from the Bay but very close to a laptop at all times! Will this be streamed?

@drnikko.bsky.social and I have a piece in here on cooperative structures- discount code for 30% off too!!

I was JUST thinking about the Kinect yesterday. It had so much potential 😂

@taylorgenovese.com might know?

It was so lovely!! Truly the nicest group I’ve been around in a long time!

YouTube video by Code4Lib Code4Lib 2025 — Day 3 Morning

Really excited to be the closing keynote at Code4Lib this morning. (I'm on around 9:15EST)

I'm with you. It's also notable that this guy who intervened didn't receive any repercussions himself. Perhaps people can see this and feel a little braver to intervene...

Yay! DM'd!

Legacy media is dying. They have no editorial independence anymore, they are beholden to billionaires who are buying out all the outlets and controlling me message.

Support independent journalists, y'all. We're out here doing the work and breaking the news.

Drop your WAPO sub.

Multiple stacks of hundreds of brightly risograph printed materials for distribution including my zine for supporting and affirming queer and trans students and their teachers and the “what to do when you feel uncertain” pamphlet.

My field’s national org- NAEA- has been predictably radio silent about all these EO’s targeting students and teachers. The conference theme this year is “vibrant” so I’ll be vibrantly launching a flyering campaign. See y’all in Louisville next week.

Ah!! Miriam, I was just thinking of you - I was driving past a port and wondering about supply chains! I'm doing historical work on the relational database and its role in carceral infrastructures rn and I'd LOVE to talk with you about this! (building on prev work about white supremacy + dbs)

My hand holding my copy of the Trouble of Color by Martha S. Jones!

Congratulations @marthasjones.bsky.social for an AMAZING review of the Trouble of Color. It's imperative that we support Black history by Black scholars in this moment, and the Trouble of Color reminds us that the impulse to deny, misname, and erase our history isn't new. Pick it up today!

I would not be at MIT today if not for community colleges. They are the only school so many of us have access to, and are such a precious resource full of vibrant scholarship.

Just noticed that there's a 2.5-year STS postdoc position available at @edinburghuni.bsky.social, to work in the excellent Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society. Closing date very soon: March 7!

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
