Hey @fetterman.senate.gov, where are you? What are you doing about the assault on democracy? How come no one can get through to an actual human at your office and instead gets your voicemail?

“This is a war, and natalism is our sword and shield”—My weekend with the pronatalists
Is it really just more babies that this movement wants?
“Western civilization isn’t just worth preserving. It’s worth fighting for. This is a war, & natalism is our sword & shield, & we will not abandon the front line.”

@historydavis.bsky.social's brilliant writing made me tear up this morning (a deathbed scene in her chapter on HIV/AIDS). If you haven't read Fierce Desires yet, step to it. I assigned it for my history of sexuality students this semester and they absolutely love it wwnorton.com/books/978163...

Opinion | The Trump administration is gutting universities’ best tools to fight antisemitism
The White House has put schools in a “can’t win” situation.
I call bullshit: Jewish safety is pretext. Make no mistake, the Trump administration is using antisemitism as an excuse to obliterate Title VI, undermine civil rights and incapacitate higher education.

Every time I do my little resistance posting, someone always replies that the Right might not allow any resistance to fascism. TBH this is a good point, which is why I suggest we ask permission first and gracefully concede if they say no.

Readers, thank you for joining me for the first year of Carnal Knowledge!
We need better stories. …Stories about justice and repentance. Stories about what it means to stand over the gaping pits of hell and see suffering and reach until your arms ache, until, finally, your daughter returns to you, whole, and it is spring again.

Readers, thank you for joining me for the first year of Carnal Knowledge!
We need better stories. Ones in which an abuser’s story is not the narrative arc. I am exhausted by television shows that rely on rape as a way to advance female characters’ story lines, as if nothing else of substance ever happens to women.

The History of Gay Conservatism
LGBTQ voters overwhelmingly went for Harris, but the idea that gay voters are always going to be solidly blue is a myth.
"As Young’s important new book, Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right, shows, the relationship between one’s identity & one’s interests or politics isn’t always predictable or straightforward."
Grateful for this terrific review in @damagemag.bsky.social
