Kinsale Drake, Stacie Denetsosie, and I edited an annthology of INDIGENOUS FUTURISMS AND FEMINISMS. Cover reveal coming soon! The voices (writers and editors) are all women, two-spirit people, and/or people of marginalized genders. Most of them emerging.

This one was challenging, but I ended up liking it

It's like if when peephole dioramas were invented, but instead of being a penny amusement, somehow every dumbass 1900s guy was like "these dioramas will revolutionize the world" "my children will go to school in a tiny diorama of a classroom" "soon my doctor will give me a diorama of medicine"

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Happy birthday!

A quick thread of some books I have found on sale for the rest of this month that I have heard good things about either the books or their authors:

The Reformatory! Haven't read. Have heard good things.

Alberta First Nation voices 'grave concern' over Kevin O'Leary's proposed $70B AI data centre | CBC News Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is raising concerns about a proposed AI data centre in their traditional territory. Celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary plans to fund and develop the "world’s largest" AI data c...

This is every 2020s theme rolled into one story. You have the violation of Indigenous sovereignty. An out-of-control far-right multimillionaire. "AI." Environmental destruction that ought to land O'Leary in forever jail if his treason wasn't enough. Stand with Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.

I need to send this to my administration

Now I want to teach this, but I am afraid my students won’t recognize Seinfeld

Books covers for three books (Off-Time Jive by A.Z. Louise, The Transitive Properties of Cheese by Ann LeBlanc, and All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From by Izzy Wasserstein.) Plus a tshirt that reads HEX ALL TERFS inside of a glitchy circle. And the Neon Hemlock logo in the bottom right. All on kind of a pinky gradient background, the sort that makes you think "gosh i ought to bid a lot on this item."

Auctioning off some rad books plus a HEX ALL TERFS tshirt as part of the campaign organized by @leighharlen.bsky.social to benefit Trans Lifeline. Check them out and bid here!
