Here at the @soc4pal.bsky.social alternative conference we’re listening to @darializaforny.bsky.social, a sociology PhD student —> congresswoman and her political director sociologist @nickocchiuto.bsky.social discuss this political moment. Here is where sociology is relevant.
Standing room only at the book forum of @prof-deleon.bsky.social exciting new book, Freedom Train: Black Politics and the Story of Interracial Labor Solidarity with @ucpress.bsky.social
The @soc4pal.bsky.social alternate conference is everything that academia should be. It's rigorous yet warm, it's fully of energy. It's cross-generational. The sessions are vibrant and exciting. I'm so touched that folks organized this, and in awe because organizing a conference is a herculean task.
At least 300 people at the @Soc4Pal rally outside the @ASAnews, protesting a conference that claiming to be “disrupting the status quo” in service of an “equitable society” but that refuses to let its own members vote on boycott. The only thing the ASA is serving is genocide.
At least three hundred now. Folks who walked out of the presidential speech and dropped a banner have joined us.
At least 200 people at the @soc4pal.bsky.social rally demanding accountability and democracy from the American Sociological Association.

If you’re around 6th avenue and 53rd today, it’s all sociologists and extremely beautiful and fashionable Dominican women here to attend the parade. It is very clear who is who.
I am so blown away by the incredible organizing that @soc4pal.bsky.social has done, not just to mobilize against the @ASAnews’s decision to pick Israel’s interests over member democracy, but to organize a whole rad alternate conference!! See so many of you Monday!

Exciting news: When We Win: Dispatches from Revolutionary Futures edited by @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social and @genderhorizon.com is now available for preorder! portersquarebooks.com/book/9798888...
When We Win: Dispatches from Revolutionary Futures
Revelatory short stories from astute political thinkers that unveil radical visions of futures transformed by collective struggles for liberation This collection envisions a multitude of futures where today's freedom struggles have overcome oppression and capitalism and formed new revolutionary societies. Here, fiction authors, revolutionary theorists, and movement intellectuals take readers into liberated worlds, wresting the future from the cruelty of the state, private property, and profit. Inspired by the liberatory horizons that have emerged in mass movements from recent history, When We Win imagines complex futures of disability justice, sexual and gender freedom, communization, and radical democracy. The stories describe decolonized possibilities, detailing how life after revolution might sound, taste, smell, feel, and look. The future, we insist, is ours to craft.

Some days it takes 3 hours to write one sentence. Other days, you can write 3000 words in one sitting. What a weird vocation.

Is it wrong that we took the kids to see Sheep Detectives on the Eid where we famously…eat sheep. 😬
Eid Mubarak, beloveds. I hope your phone is full of aunties whose phones are full of flowery Eid memes with cartoon sheep.
