Brad's and my article in ELH is out - and it's OPEN ACCESS!!! We're both still constantly learning on the topics covered, and this might not look exactly the same if we started writing it today. But we're both really proud of it! :) muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Somewhat relatedly, trying to learn Welsh pronunciation when I still haven’t figured out how to sound normal with my new, deepened voice is a trip.

“Bryn” is Welsh for “hill” and also a gender-neutral name I tried unsuccessfully to make happen for myself. Now that I’m moving to Wales I can’t decide if it’s lucky I don’t share my name w a ubiquitous topographical feature or if it’s too bad because “Hill” is a great Nonbinary Noun Name™️

Been busy! But finally getting around to announcing: I’ll be moving to Wales in the coming months to join the AMEND project at Swansea University as a postdoctoral research associate. I am so grateful and fortunate to have this opportunity! 😊

It's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.
