Honored to be one of @thedissenteryt.bsky.social 's fave books of 2025 and looking forward to participating in the pod in 2026!
I take no credit for the claim that many liberals assume that talented individuals are the engine of progress! I read that in some critique of Louis Dumont (who we never got a chance to talk about!)--I'l find the name.
Chatted about the connections between care feminism, colonialism, and capitalism in with the wonderful @elissastrauss.bsky.social elissa.substack.com/p/the-interv...
there's mean like "rude comments" mean and there's mean like "Palmer raids" mean

Especially for someone who was such a huge fan of *other* hypothetical persons
A breakthrough for gender equality? Not even! @serenekhader.bsky.social would correctly identify the stunt as girlboss feminism. This time, itβs dressed up in matching blue onesies and a jaunt beyond the stratosphere but still caters only to the 1%. Miss me with that mess.
The decision on Mahmoud Khalil today will reveal whether we live in a system where authorities can decide what speech is acceptable and condemn people on that basis.
We all must pay attention.
Theyβre going to keep pushing until something stops them.
The article I'm talking about is this one by @lopezcantero.bsky.social and @bexmillar.bsky.social
From a history of elite feminist activism, thereβs this idea that weβre going to do what helps elite women and itβs going to trickle down. Like @serenekhader.bsky.social tells @drcaromaldo.bsky.social, we know that doesnβt work. @muthamagazine.bsky.social

Back in the day, another SB grad student used to sing me this song as "Serene," so every time I hear it I'm back in the Harriman offices
I legit feel inspired every time I see you post this thank you
I got to speak with @drcaromaldo.bsky.social at Mutha magazine about our shared commitment to treating women of color as theorists--and made a cool new local friend along the way! Yes, philosophy and feminism are for everyone <3
These books by @imaniperry.bsky.social, @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social, @serenekhader.bsky.social, @cherylneely.bsky.social, and others highlight how women have educated and inspired generations. Theyβre a shout-out to women writers because writing educates and inspires. #WomensHistoryMonth
If you are around Philly, and want to talk about how feminism isn't about being Dream Big Barbie, come hang with me and my #dreamdate Sophie Lewis @reproutopia.bsky.social at Penn on Thursday. We will be in convo with @sukaina.bsky.social, brilliant philosopher and matchmaker extraordinaire.
Bc that's who believes in IQ tests
Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.
