Twitter keeps trying to hide this tweet:

these harassers, sexists are not trans women.

Cis women like Clark and trans women like Thomas deserve better. Their fight is interconnected against the mainly cisgender white men who harass all women.

As a historian, I support @Soc4pal in their push for a Resolution for Justice in Palestine as my teaching, research, and public praxis aim to further the global fight against fascism, settler colonialism, western imperialism, and genocide and my govt’s collaboration in it.

Really heartened to see this. Esp as most white historians in my immediate field of modern Europe have been virtually silent. Scholars of color have been way vocal in their support, although they risk much more than I for example.

Solidarity and wish I could vote yes!!!

There needs to be a broader conversation about what happens when students and scholars of colour access the resources of Holocaust education and use the tools of it, but not in the way that some Holocaust educators desire?

I am not a funny person at *all,* and am so thankful to be on the funniest floor on campus.

Like a colleague recommended Talia Argondezzi’s book Lean the Fuck Out at faculty meeting today 😂 can’t stop giggling

If any pubs are looking to bring on a writer who has been covering women’s sports for nearly a decade & has the nuance & knowledge needed for the beat, please be in touch. I come with a deep Rolodex of existing sources & a spreadsheet of story ideas ready to be written.

Coming back here to say to editors: I have a large number of stories looking for homes, including several timely ones related to the upcoming Olympics and/or women’s sports. I’m pitching into what feels like a black hole. Email in bio if you’re interested in hearing more.

At the same time that it has named “fighting antisemitism” as 1 of its priorities.

Pitting white Jews against people of color.

Don’t take the bait. Many have; see the facts and realize what’s going on.

🧮 Our estimates of the 63 staff fired from their @utaustin positions are that they are 8% Asian, 32% Black, 21% Hispanic, and 30% White. 63% are women, 24% are men, and 13% are trans/non-binary. Clearly this purge had a *disparate impact* with respect to both gender and…

I missed this. About 70% of the individuals who were wrongfully terminated from the jobs were POC. WITH Black folk experiencing the largest impact. Mostly women. This is not okay. We should not normalize this behavior.

Incredible news!

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled that Title IX protects transgender people, and that sports bans on transgender people violate the constitution.

This is a groundbreaking ruling that will be cited in other cases nationwide!

Today I learned some new things about sciatica pain that blew my mind, really. I have it but thankfully have not experienced the level of pain others apparently go through. WOW
