Really can’t recommend reading enough. A+ activity.

The new biggest loser doc absolutely sucks. Here are some reasons why.

It offered absolutely no real critique of anti-fatness and bob’s last garbage bit about how “everyone is obsessed with their weight” DEMANDED that critique. By refusing to give it the doc basically signed off bob’s opinion. Awful.

Successfully defended my dissertation, “The Fault of Our Forms: Fatness and Race in 20th and 21st-Century American Literature and Culture” yesterday!

I've been listening to the New Books Network podcasts for a few years now, and now I'm included on the guest list, too. Thanks @kdinniene.bsky.social for spending the time with me!

I think about this 2 minute speech a lot. Ella Baker with no time for applause and agreement, only time to remind everyone about what organizing and solidarity require

Trump’s Reign of Terror on Schools—and How We Fight Back It’s not enough to be afraid of the laws and rules we don’t want to see in schools. We have to clarify our visions of what we are fighting for.

"Sowing the seeds of chaos and accumulated despair is part of the president’s fascist agenda. We are afraid, and the imminent threat of violence forecloses our ability to imagine.

And yet, as soon as we cede the territory of the imagination, we’ve already lost."
