my article on George Herbert and trans studies is out in Renaissance Quarterly. It's really only about one poem, but it is THE poem you're thinking of, so you should check it out -- www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

Apparently, Trump created “Transgender For Eveyone” in the past few weeks, which I think is what @badinfinity2.bsky.social has been lobbying for all along, so I guess we’re done here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The footnote from @badinfinity2.bsky.social's Glorious Bodies seems particularly relevant.... (2/2)

the grads must do truly wild impressions of us

41 today, an unimaginable age. I’m glad he got the chance to grow up.

fwiw I think my chapter on Trans Mayhem in Samson Agonistes is the best thing I've ever written

Doctor Minnie@minervavictrix.bsky.social · last yr.

"This chapter argues that within Milton’s closet play is a quiet celebration of trans mayhem, an account of wounding that embraces rather than recoils from vulnerability, one that rejects 'usefulness' and 'employment' as metrics for assigning value to bodies."

today's a great day for a vaccine and a sex change

when things are bad, you know what to do (take testosterone)

Wow, @badinfinity2.bsky.social’s suggestion (command?) to transition just became a lot cheaper and more accessible, if this is true!

One day someone came into ivallan’s and asked “is this the trans bookshop?”. Sadly it is not. We also sell books by cis writers. While we look forward to a future where we can fill a whole shop with thousands of books by trans authors we recommend these gems:

Pretty cool to win @badinfinity2.bsky.social ‘s Glorious Bodies in the raffle at PrEmo Trans Studies III!

I believe that queer and trans people deserve everything, including religion (if they want it)!

Margaret Middleton@magmidd.bsky.social · 2y ago

This podcast interview with @badinfinity2.bsky.social about his book Glorious Bodies made me realize we're missing opportunities to interpret queerness *with* religion instead the typical opposition narrative (or more typical: ommission with the assumption of opposition). slate.com/podcasts/out...

One of my fave conferences ever. Thank you @badinfinity2.bsky.social and all.

So glad I decided to go hard and attend the first day of the Early Modern Trans Studies conference today *after* the RSA / SAA twofer! It was a joy to see so many terrific papers and hang w the (rapidly expanding) premodern trans studies crew - and to taste the @badinfinity2.bsky.social book cake 🎂

Next month at Penn: A symposium on Premodern Trans Studies featuring @transliterature.bsky.social, @ldevun.bsky.social, @badinfinity2.bsky.social, @hamlethologram.bsky.social, and Nat Rivkin ! Philly come thru!

That's right, (Pr)EmoTrans 3 is almost upon us! Join us and our mascot Doof Bat for a generous selection of Jesus vaginas, gay plants, trans Dominicans, sissies, circumcision reversals, and so, so many tranimals
