Have my peer review of teaching this term and my reappointment due this AY. We just got our permanent residence too. Everything keeps happening so much…

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

We keep hearing we have to embrace penitent Trump voters, but if you don’t want to, remember this: 77.3M Americans voted for Trump. But 90M didn’t vote at all.

It’s more palatable (and better strategy) to reach the latter than to make room for people who chose bigotry and now want to cry about it.

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall.

And then this coming week

This was today. My heart is so full and im SO exhausted. Back to Van tomorrow, but, as always, leaving a piece of my heart here in NC.

Anti-Transgender Disinformation in the Age of Algorithmic Search Summaries Recently Google introduced a feature in its search engine that algorithmically creates summaries of one's search results. Though it could be viewed as a useful tool, researcher Anna Beers argues this ...

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results.

AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.

Full paper with results forthcoming! Will be sure to update yall.

The hedge is live and available in the protocol paper for folks who might wanna use for anything from an informal lit search to a systematic review 😇

Flyer for an event called beyond binary data, subtitled how misinformation and statistics shape transgender life. Black and white photo of Avery featured in left bottom corner. Shes a white woman with split dye shoulder length hair and some tattoos visible on her neck and arms. University of north carolina at greensboro’s womens gender and sexuality studies program logo is in bottom right corner. There is text describing the talk on the flyer. The flyer has a white back ground with pink and blue gradients in the upper corners.

Visiting my alma mater to give a talk on my book project (which is VERY MUCH in progress mind you).

It’s really a dream come true and feels like a homecoming. WGSS at UNCG shaped me in such profound ways and without my training there I would not be the scholar I am today. Simply thrilled!

This is SO awful and wont stand the test of time as a good decision. Genuinely shocked it appears to be a done deal.

I hope Ezra Klein will restrain himself from saying Bari Weiss is doing journalism the right way

Thank you! And congrats to @tsdav.bsky.social too and gratitude to him for writing this with me 😇

Extremely proud of the title “How to lose a culture war” & of the connections we make to FOSTA/SESTA & fears of reproductive futures reimagined.

Short, free to read and hopefully provocative.

My latest with @tsdav.bsky.social in @dialoguesdigsoc.bsky.social

@averyeverhart.bsky.social and I are SO excited to share "How to lose a culture war: Social media, trans disinformation and the authoritarian right," a paper we co-wrote on disinformation, digital authoritarianism, and anti-trans politics! Now available open access with Dialogues on Digital Society.

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly

Is it really such an untenable idea that social media could or even SHOULD be public goods?! Like is it just gonna always remain the case that to be on the internet is to subject oneself to ever more horrors under the guise of “terms of service,” “moderation,” and “compliance.”

You simply MUST be joking. You built something that only had the appeal of not being Twitter and has a learning curve for new users. Now you adopt TOS changes only in response to a fascist’s death and retroactively apply them piecemeal?

Now tell the joke thats actually funny

The thought occurs to me that anti trans activists are so hellbent on the idea that we have been “transed” or that we are transing youth because they themselves feel recognize on some level their genders were foisted upon them so they assume a trans gender must be as well 🤔

Thank you love!

Thank you! I’m like…holy shit HOW. He like brusquely pointed at the little chair and gave me one “tilt head left” and snapped this. Same with Matt. Took 30 seconds total. Convinced he’s a genius

My spouse’s is just as good too wtf. These go on our PR cards for 5 years (🤞🏻 we get it) and i look SO cunty?! Incredible.

Headshot from clavicle up of a white woman against a stark white background looking into the camera. She has a large abstract black work tattoo covering much of her chest and part of her neck, and red blonde and black hair in a calico pattern tucked behind her ears.

Dude at London drugs just casually snapped one of the best pictures of me in my life for my PR app???

Submitted a commentary with @tsdav.bsky.social called “How To Lose A Culture War” so fingers crossed it’s well received. More to come from me/us on trans disinfo and the ongoing moral panic one way or another 🤓

Has anyone written something that links FOSTA/SESTA and the uptick in anti-trans legislation in the US?

Already in print please only because I’m on a deadline.

If you’re ever in Vancouver and want a really great tea tasting experience gotta see Daniel Lui at The Chinese Tea Shop. Super kind and extremely knowledgeable. Can’t recommend enough
