Happy National Coming Out Day from your favorite white neurodivergent disabled chronically ill Jewitchy polyamorous Leather fat nonbinary femme with U.S. citizenship privilege. You should not *have* to be out AND you should be *able* to be out about any of your identities. [📸: William Hohe]

That’s how my brain read it too. We’ve been working together so/too long 💞

Ok but I got to do a photoshoot (photographer masked for me!) for my campus’s LGBTQ center’s queer belonging project. Which is your fav? [Photographer: William Hohe, @williamslenses + williamslenses. com]

I love getting to mentor students in multiple disciplines. Please take a look at these amazing students and postdoctoral fellows and let them know if you’d like them to look at your positions.

Femme issues with femmes too!

Thankful for this chance to share my thoughts about neurodivergence and kink in a popular press space, especially as a companion piece to a piece I have in an upcoming special issue of QED edited by Bernadette Calafell, Ph.D.

As if I didn’t really feel like I had topped out my career, I’m now in a beautiful magazine, in the table of contents along with Dean Spade. @restrictfilm.bsky.social

Y’all. It’s 2026. Why are you still using the word lame for anything other than to describe an animal (human or not) with a limp? Get it together. Being ableist isn’t cool.

This is such an amazing program from @crashpadseries.bsky.social !!

Okay rich friends employed with companies that do employer matching: Please help me raise $7k to support @scarleteen.com's fall fundraiser. We're expecting 7 million visitors this year (up from 5 million!) in a climate where access to good sex ed, esp. for LGBTQIA+ young people, is dwindling.

This was so fun to record, and I learned a lot about reproductive rights, Kentucky/Appalachia, and more!

Thrilled to be on this episode of US Association for the Study of Pain ‘s podcast, talking about whether research and science can ever truly be unbiased or apolitical (spoiler alert; it can’t) & talking about ways to navigate doing research on topics now banned.

Note: this is based on a conversation with a non UM colleague, and is not a sub skeet about my work 💜

Totally convenience sampling poll for faculty; How would you feel if you were told AI was being used to summarize your promotion and/or tenure materials? Would you want to opportunity to consent/opt out? Would you worry that opting out might make your work be more deeply scrutinized?
