Sure thing. Even I participate when I visit! 😉

This is a funny one… like: never have I encountered the “tab” as normalised practice in bars apart from when I’ve been to the US. Unless I’m sat at a table and there’s table service, tabs aren’t really a thing this side of the pond.

(*his latest for Harper’s)

To close one’s eyes to a genocide fuelled by a country one was once VP: feminism (like Germans c.1940). To call that out: misogyny. Pankaj Mishra truly was right in her latest for Harper’s: US intellectual institutions these days seem to do little more than “Speaking Reassurance to Power”. Shame.

Like, for realz, whoever decided that we should stop being fags and just become gay boys has a lot to answer for.

As I sit in the library of the Schwules Museum about to have gone through the full run of the gay magazine Du & Ich (1969–2000), I confirm that the demise of gay culture and sexual politics is inversely proportional to the growth of “health” and “fitness” discourse, and ads for tacky underwear.

I dunno about you but I wan the @badgayspod.bsky.social Gagony Guncles segment to become a regular section in some highbrow literary magazine. 🤣

Flames! Flames on the side of my face!

You can do it! I believe in you! 😉

Hey Vienna, go to this on Saturday!

Gaza and the End of History - Boston Review The apocalyptic scale of death and destruction lays bare the contradictions at the heart of the liberal international order.

Gaza has become a symbol both of Western hypocrisy and of its victims’ recourse to human rights and international law as a final forum of appeal for collective deliverance—the deliverance of the “wretched of the earth,” as Fanon famously called colonized subjects, whoever and wherever they may be.

Coming soon to wherever you get your journal articles from.

This is fucking wild. The first hit when you google Francesca Albanese is a sponsored Israeli gov link.

Review by mxrmax - Crossings: Creative Ecologies of Cruising

Unapologetically raw
Unabashedly brilliant
Fearless queerness pumped directly into the vein

@noisybits.bsky.social and @lizrosenfeld.bsky.social are the most human humans I’ve ever read

They are the self-proclaimed faggots to both emulate and fear

Awww thank you! 🥰

screenshot from X of corrupt sex pest andrew cuomo announcing he's gonna run for NYC mayor third-party, and zohran mamdani (who the democratic party should get behind but they seem to love losing, so) in the replies with a link to his own small-dollar fundraising site

cuomo announced he's running third-party and mamdani responded by dropping a link to his own fundraising site in the replies lol

The @liberation.fr dug into the far-right ethnonationalist neo-paganist scouting movement Europe Jeunesse (a training camp for French far-right adults) just as I revised my article (for the Journal of Homosexuality) on Gaie France magazine, which shares many actors in the Libération investigation.

Great to see the NYT publishing this. Not great that calling genocide by its name still falls under “opinion”, while the “news” continue to call it “war”.

Canadian universities too should be in Francesca Albanese’s report Canadian university administrators should remember that they too can be held accountable for genocide complicity.

Francesca Albanese's most recent report has profound implications for higher ed.

None is more serious than this: administrators are *personally accountable* under international law for complicity in genocide for institutional entanglements w/ Israel and military-industrial companies.
