2021 events are stacking up fast! 🥳 @FLAGeorgia #FFFFFF2021 & Penn State in January, UT-Arlington & MSU in March, & an unknown number of other talks that are still being finalized or that I haven't yet gotten to reading in my inbox! What else am I forgetting right now?😆🤓
Y'all, I can't keep up! But I am looking forward to a semester that feels like it is going to be stacking up nicely as one of writing through a few piles of data and a lot of meaningful conversations. * Returns to triaging email and giving student project feedback *
Did I mention this semester is also going to include much needed bakery breaks? As in: I'm going to take breaks & pretend that I'm training for a patisserie bakeoff show<-Just to hold myself publicly accountable for figuring out how to do this all a bit more humanely for myself.
[Ooooooh I'm so hopeful 👀👆🏻. Please, internet friends, let me have this streak of optimism before I return to reality. This optimism might be what holds these last few weeks of this semester together for me. We all need our coping mechanisms, right?]

It's about to start! 👇🏻 So glad to get to be here for this launch!
@morganmpage begins the convo after a bit of situating by the organizers. She discusses her own intellectual journey as a writer, public historian, & artist within and against the historical moments in which she, like many, "had a limited sense of what our lives could be" [2/]
She points out the "inaccessibility of archives" and what that means for the challenges in unearthing documents (making a beautiful and important hat tip to @tourmaliiine), particularly for people who are not institutionally affiliated (me: cough, cough gatekeeping cough). [3/]

So excited to be at this event! (Happening NOW!)
@HilMalatino starts off in the chat with "Hi all! In the spirit of Trans Care, I’ve posted this link to Trans Lifeline’s “Until We’re All Free” campaign. They’re raising funds for bail and for commissary, and I encourage y’all to donate." secure.givelively.org/donate/trans-l…
(before a few obligatory words about the newest Elliot in a long line of Elliots and the shared joy that evoked among panelists and by audience members [in the chat] alike)

Listening to Julia Spiegelman call out the way that French language textbooks present French colonization as justifiable (it is not), Francophone places as places to leave (they are not), and as the Francophonie as a product to consume (it is not). #ddfc @DdfcTweets 1/4
She notes the essentializing discourses that occur in our textbooks that --if not laid bare, questioned, and upended-- leave our students with MISrepresentations. This plays out through: 2/4
Power & domination, reduction and devaluation of francophone cultures, misalignment with intercultural understanding, justification of colonization as an endorsement of (White) French supremacy, & a strategic alignment of an American tourist role w/ a French tourist role 3/4

Important Twitter poll for NB Twitter: Would you agree? "Binary grammatical gender (e.g., how grammatical gender works in languages like French/Spanish/etc.) can feel kinda like this for non-binary people, except WAY less funny." Image
Poll:
*I should have said "how grammatical gender PRESCRIPTIVELY tends to work in languages like French/Spanish/etc." 🤦🤦🤦

Reading, learning, & thinking more about the past of where I am today, before Cass & Erique's panel in ~1 hour. Thankful that Florence started talking about this article today: Stryker, S. (2020). Institutionalizing Trans* Studies at the University of Arizona. TSQ, 7(3), 354-366.
Here's a link to the aforementioned panel info, if you haven't seen it yet! (I'm really looking forward to this one!)
I am no media scholar. I have nothing insightful to add to all of the beautiful things that are happening in this panel r.n., but I am grateful to be here for this. [Image below is a clip from Julian Kevon Glover's work, which I am feeling fortunately to see for the first time.] Image is of a dancer on a s...
