Our panel “Queer, Queerness, and Its East Asian (in)Adaptability” is happening at 9AM on Sunday! Hoping to see many scholars of queer & Asian media there :) #SCMS25 @scmsqtc.bsky.social

I’m heartbroken that so many brilliant scholars could not attend #SCMS25 out of the completely understandable and real fear for their safety.

Sitting in the forest looking at a photo of myself presenting at #SCMS25 is kinda uncanny. Thank you @javiperezosorio.bsky.social for the pic and @laurah.bsky.social for orgenizing and chairing the most complicated panel ever!

En route to Chicago for #SCMS25 #SCMS2025! Excited to present on Saturday!

Happening in two hours! With all the travel restrictions on trans folks and additional flight delays, if you’re around, be a pal, come say hi to @laurah.bsky.social and send me a pic, pleaseeeee! I so wish I could be there with y’all! 🏳️‍⚧️🎥📺✨ @scmsqtc.bsky.social @scmstudies.bsky.social #SCMS25

For the first time in a decade, I canceled my #SCMS participation. W/ TSA harassment & travel doc confiscations of trans people, ICE’s treatment of visa holders, for political & random reasons, & the measles outbreak—I don’t feel safe traveling to the U.S. as a trans, immunocompromised immigrant.1/4

Dear QTC Members, please check your inboxes for an important message from our senior co-chair @slavagreenberg.bsky.social about conference updates and accommodations for those not travelling due to the current hostility at the border targeting trans and nonbinary individuals in particular. #SCMS2025

I checked, it’s open access and excellent! @scmsqtc.bsky.social
