"Part of the dream of queer is that it potentially has no opposite. Straight is the opposite of gay. Queer is a rejection of both. .... If queer laid my foundations, a trans analysis rearranged the structures and gave me the space to breathe again. Transgender: to bend, mend, extend, and transcend." ~ mattilda bernstein sycamore, the freezer door

The #CollegeBoard, a powerful nonprofit, has been waging war w/ the administration of Gov Ron #DeSantis, a #Republican, since earlier this year when his admin rejected the College Board’s new #AfricanAmericanStudies course. The #curriculum included topics such as “#QueerStudies,” #reparations & the #BlackLivesMatter movement, & the admin objected, citing a #FloridaLaw limiting how #racism & other aspects of #history are taught in #PublicSchool.

'Mae’r delynores Cerys Hafana wedi bod yn siarad am y cyfnod pan wnaeth hi godi gwrychyn rhai o hoelion wyth byd y delyn deires Gymreig. [...] Mae’n disgrifio ei hun fel person cwiar sy’n achosi dryswch i lawer o bobl sydd ddim yn siŵr ai merch neu fachgen ydi hi.
[...]
“Mae’n eironig bod y bobl sy’n clodfori Nansi Richards gymaint yn ofni dylanwadau allanol rŵan. Achos yr unig reswm mae’r deires yn dal i gael ei chwarae ydi’r dylanwad allanol wnaeth wedyn droi mewn i ddylanwad mewnol wedyn, wrth gwrs, wrth i’r Romani ddod yn rhan hollbwysig o ddiwylliant Cymru.”'

Throwing a question out there for #QueerStudies #GenderStudies folks because I can't seem to source potential articles/chapters/books: has anyone ever done a genderqueer reading of Johanna Spyri's "Heidi"? It struck me today on watching the not so great film from 2005 (and having read the two-part novel several times) that Fräulein Rottenmeier's insistence on calling the girl "Adelheid" bears resemblance with dead-naming. And Heidi's role/character development in relation to her changing social surroundings encourages a queer reading.

Any suggestions (in English, German) for critical literature greatly welcome!

Can witnessing murder offer "a post-queer vision of connectedness"? Joe Hardwick's "Undressed to kill: knowing, reading and connecting in Alain Guiraudie’s homme fatal thriller L’Inconnu du lac (2013)" is in the new French Screen Studies. #horror #horrormovies #horrorfilms #thrillers #queerstudies

If I was bloody minded enough to start a book project (performance and policing), any thoughts on starting points beyond just writing?

I’m coming from an abandoned PhD with a seed chapter that’s already going in an edited volume I’m not sure

I want to focus on the writing process not publishing goals looking for advice from folks who completed first projects as independent scholars outside grad school

Going to give this a Sunday boost in case anyone missed it and would like to check out the new short-form writing project I'm trying here on the fediverse. I will be exploring topics through the lens of an overeducated trans femme centering queer perspectives on society.

"Transpiring Considerations" is a series of short-form writing that I'm aiming to publish here each Saturday. This post will anchor a thread of links for each of these.

Part of the idea is, as Abigail Thorn describes her own work, giving away my education for free. I also want to give myself more space to have more casual writing on trans-centered perspectives. Hope these thoughts are worthwhile to share
