this was originally posted on the old blog, 2006.05.02. I’m reposting it because it is too long to post the whole thing on a discussion list.

I’d mentioned to piny that one of the problems with the attacks on “trans politics” (sic) was that they argued that, as long as transfolk weren’t being denied their formal […]



bell hooks: a complex accounting of identity

At work, I’ve been doing a lot of rather rote work that requires a ton of QA. It leaves me lots of time to listen to lectures and talks on youtube. I finally found that one video that I’d seen, the one where hooks discusses institutionalized racism and what she thinks of as the need […]

returning to the sean bell nuttiness, which i happened to blunder across again because i was reading yet another blowout in bloglandia. this time it was over the wrong-just-wrong-wrong-wrong statements made about women of color, specifically blackamazon, brownfemipower, and sylvia, who were called drama queens on the womanist musings blog.

I forgot to mention that I’d ordered Kamala Kempadoo’s Trafficking and Prostitution Reconsidered: New Perspectives on Migration, Sex Work, and Human Rights. Picked it up at the library yesterday. Our library is the suckage, I’m tellin’ ya. You’d think the Limpdickian libraries would be the worst. Not so. I have library books in, ordered through […]
