This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

But for real, can writing a paper for grad school change your life??

As an aside, each paper I read gives me 5+ more papers that sound interesting/relevant. I may very well spend my semester break reading those for fun!

I did not anticipate this when I set out with this as my topic, and I am grateful to all the authors and thinkers and contributors who have brought up these incredible (and important!!) points.

Reading articles about (archival) description of LGBTQ+, and esp gender variant people, is expanding my own view of what “transgender” is and means, and the ways that term can reinforce a binary and assert colonialism when applied nonconsensually to people of other eras and non-Western cultures.

Working on my first major paper for grad school, loosely on ethics & concerns of descriptions of trans people in archives. So far I’m hoarding as many article citations as I can find and haven’t cracked into content yet. Overwhelming, but I’m probably overcomplicating thinhs 😖📝

Welp, Insta’s new doxing feature, I mean stalking feature, I mean location sharing feature is terrifying and disgusting, so maybe I’ll finally get off that trash app and start using this one more. Gotta find a diff app to share bug & cat photos, tho.

Screenshot of a tumblr post and response. Thelocalmuffin says: “Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically. If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off. Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works. Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit. I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.” Below this is a response from yeahwrite: “Writers: It's asking to read your Google Docs and be able to 'summarize' things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.”

⚠️ Say no to AI! ⚠️

And if you haven’t read Jesus & John Wayne yet, plz go do so. It traces the incredibly relevant history of the rise of christian nationalism.

For everyone saying it’s gonna be a long 4yrs: Did you know we are still heavily influenced by Reagan’s policies? The more you study origins for so many issues in US life & society, the more his name comes up. Even if Trump’s presidency lasts only 4yrs, we may still feel the shockwaves for decades.

We live in an age of rampant misinformation, so it’s baffling to me that people reshare boycott & protest posters and legal tips on dealing w xyz without citing their source or indicating who is organizing these things. We need to remain critical and strategic in our liberation efforts.

The only thing that was consistently good about Lost was its music.
