This has been a journey! @christopherewing.bsky.social and I are proud to announce the forthcoming publication (with Palgrave) of "Reading Queer Media in the German Speaking World" bringing together the work of brilliant historians and German studies scholars working on queer 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭 printed media

Started my day w coffee, nerdy sweaters, and an inspiring and energizing conversation on queer and trans memory, liberalism, and academia with @sebboo.bsky.social whose book does such an excellent framing of global queer memory cultures and their transatlantic transfers. I keep on going back to it!

Excited to announce that Sonja Dolinsek's und Annalisa Martin's edited volume on the archive of sex work activist Marc-of-Frankfurt is hot off the press! Many congrats to them! 💜

Working on a lecture on trans & fascism and wish the US government and its fascist proxies would stop forcing me to rework it on a daily basis.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This finally arrived on my desk and I cannot wait to dig in!

(1/2) Letzten Freitag durfte Andrea Rottmann am @ces.ubc.ca im Rahmen der Tobin Distinguished Lecture Series ihre aktuelle Forschung im Rahmen von QueerDem und ihr Buch vorstellen.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause

By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.
