a photo of my copy of HARD CORE by Linda Williams
impossible to know where to begin about porn scholar Linda Williams, one of the greatest to ever do it. I've kept a highlighter tucked inside my copy of HARD CORE since I got it used years ago, my first intro to her brilliant, defiant scholarship dukeupress.wordpress.com/2025/03/13/f...

"Perry is one of many reactionary feminists who occasionally point to real problems in young womenβs lives while offering false solutions, and Iβm afraid that itβs an unfortunately effective source of radicalization." @tracyclarkflory.bsky.social
Really loved this piece by @tracyclarkflory.bsky.social on the malleability of love in HELLO STRANGER and other recent books.
My valentine to you: an interrogation of love. What even *is it* anymore? What about the possibilities of βfleeting intimacies,β erotic friendship, undefinable obsessions, and the radical potentials of -e-? tracyclarkflory.substack.com/p/what-even-...

a fascinating topic β how people are feeling about sex and desire post-election
I asked people where theyβre at post-election w/sex, desire, and their bodies. Just a sampling: βOur queer sex is liberation, our pleasure a big middle-finger to the cultural forces & people who voted against our interests or want to see us extinguished.β tracyclarkflory.substack.com/p/queer-plea...
I made a #BayArea starter pack, heavy on writers and book people. Please let me know who I've missed so I can add them! go.bsky.app/5eFo1ir

We are worked to death in the United States. It pits us against one another. Thank you @tracyclarkflory.bsky.social

Nice to be here!
Also, ehem: βThe private nuclear household is not eternal, natural, or inevitable,β says @reproutopia.bsky.social.
β[4B] in the South Korean context is explicitly girl-boss-ish in flavor, and very anti-socialist. It's about wealth and achievement and individually breaking the glass ceiling. There's not even a relationship with a movement of revolutionary ambition.β tracyclarkflory.substack.com/p/a-feminist...
