Can we also acknowledge that lots of white people teach Ethnic Studies and African Diaspora Studies from a place of whiteness, which is its own challenge. And that they choose to be honest about claiming intellectual and political commitments w/o grounding them in Identity.

Sex worker rights are always about immigrant rights, worker rights, queer, & trans rights. The stigma and shame that surrounds sex work fuels the racist erotophobic misogyny that we see on full display. Let’s also care about SW that are alive.

My students are the best, and they know me all too well. Here I am modeling my new favorite earrings. #EatAss

I love that a student in Laos asked Obama about Standing Rock. That's the power of social media b/c MSM hasn't covered this.

Hive Mind: Teaching a Latinx Gender & Sexuality in Pop Culture class this semester, what should we read? Also, I'm having them do Wikipedia entries, what artists, activists, historical figures should I have them document or research?

Friends I have spent July as the scholar in residence for the Fire Island Artists Residency. Among the perks was this sunset portrait of me looking like a moon goddess by Guggie winner Leonard Suryajaya. I already miss the sunrise/sunset magic of that place.

Can those of us in positions of influence collectively agree not to hold this against the students she writes letters for? Those students must be freaking out right now.

My 19 year old just texted me to show me the “A”he got on his first big research paper in college. I’m over the moon!! He is more a video game/soccer type of kid so this hits extra special. And thank god for small liberal arts colleges & those who teach there. Go Poets!

This book is so damn honest & real—it goes to those places we go in our heads but rarely see sussed out in print. And the writing…like kicking it over cocktails with your BFF who is also a mad poetic genius, a deep close reader, & an archivist extraordinaire. Aché! @jafariallen

I am reading an advance copy of Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration by @NicoleFleetwoo2 and am already in tears, this book is so eloquent and urgent, so tender and real. This is Black feminist praxis as world-making scholarship.

20 years ago, I wrote Queer Latinidad, as part of JE Muñoz field defining Sexual Cultures series with @nyuniversity & the outstanding @ericzinner . The first time I went to @AmerStudiesAssn was in 1996. I’ve been here more than a minute. See you soon Montreal! #TimeFlies

Here is a picture of me circa 1991 somewhere in Queens at a goodbye party just before returning to SF. I go back to the Bay in 14 days and I am not ready. (And yes I can see you laughing at my outfit, it was a moment).

Talking to a former student—reminded of what I already knew. A lot of these Ivy’s “think” they want radical cutting edge scholarship, until you start doing it. Don’t let them steal your soul before you are tenured and can defend yourself.

Identity enters the classroom in all kinds of ways. Being of a certain class, passing or not as white, has material consequences regardless of origin, how can our students engage these complexities if we don’t model that when we discuss our own identities?
