Friends at ASA: I’ll be doing a short book-signing tomorrow at 1pm at the University of Wisconsin Press Exhibit!
If you work for or have studied at any University of California campus, you are invited and encouraged to sign this letter of support for UCLA, where faculty learned yesterday that Trump illegally froze $200M in funding.

This special issue of Girlhood Studies looks awesome! It has so much on East Africa! www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal...
At top, a banner reads "available now!" On the left, a photo of the cover of The Age of Sex. On the right, two blurbs: “Decker’s decolonial-historical analysis of the intersecting concepts of sexuality and age is a refreshing eye-opener, revealing the embeddedness of these concepts in complex cultural, economic, and political constructions coupled with racist imperial (mis)representations. It is an invitation to rethink conventional sex laws.” — Sylvia Tamale, author of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism “Decker challenges much of what we thought we knew about East African social history, asks new questions of established sources, and shifts how subsequent scholars will research African history. Highly readable and engaging.” — Brett L. Shadle, author of The Souls of White Folk: White Settlers in Kenya, 1900–1920s

Once anchored in mass struggle and socialist politics, the feminist movement in Nigeria now navigates the contradictions of donor dependency, digital activism, and elite capture. On the podcast, The Nigerian Scam crew unpacks: what happened? africasacountry.com/2025/04/what...
I shared some thoughts on the supreme court, EHRC's interim guidance and the feminist dystopia some call 'gender critical' feminism yesterday. feministkilljoys.substack.com/p/meaningles...
One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....
"The notion that whites are suffering at the hands of Blacks in South Africa has captured international headlines for weeks now. And yet as indicated in the outlines of this story of land and poverty and racial traumas that remain unaddressed...the ghosts of apartheid roam far too freely"
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

This is a very funny satire of the situation of universities under Trump.

"Congolese Are Paying the Price" for Western Demand for Minerals & Support for Rwanda's Paul Kagame
This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
"Grand Theft Government": Federal Workers Send SOS over Musk-Led Mass Firings, Service Cuts
Ugandan health authorities have closed all the clinics that focused on patients with HIV and TB. Staffed by health workers who over time developed deep expertise in sensitively managing infectious yet stigmatised diseases, the clinics were key to cutting HIV infection rates.
"You Don't Have to Comply": U.S. Attorney, 5 DOJ Lawyers Quit, Refuse to Drop Case Against NYC Mayor
Make no mistake, we will win this fight. While there are lots of folks who don't know trans people well, they are repelled by the immense power of the federal government being brought to bear with such dishonesty and cruelty.
