I would really like to include this image from a trans rights protest in my book, Common Sense and Its Others, with an eye on the placard "Your Common Sense Isn't Our Common Sense," but I can find the original source to ask for permission (I've tried google image reverse search). Any ideas anyone?
Last event on mini book tour today! A community discussion: a chance to sit with each other and the work 💜
A killjoy joy to be launching No! The Art and Activism of Complaining with @roxanegay.bsky.social & @feministpress.bsky.social tonight @clags.bsky.social. I did describe myself as a mega-fan of Roxane’s in The Feminist Killjoy Handbook. So this is a lot! Hope you can come along!
Calling all killjoys in Boston, NYC, Philly and DC. Come along and say no loudly and together to the abusers and the harassers and the fascists and the systems they create that create them 🔥🔥
It is hard to be independent scholars because without official emails, other people can claim your articles as theirs. When I said I was the author of my work to GS not having an official address meant it was assumed ‘Prince Ahmed’ was. It is no big deal to me, but to those starting out it would be!
On my blog back in 2020 I wrote in passing about the expression ‘preaching to the converted’ & I’ve thinking about it again & about finding chambers where can hear echoes of those we need to hear 💜 feministkilljoys.com/2020/12/07/c...
