This is the title and cover of my book. I am deeply grateful to Duke University Press for retaining my title and approving the artwork of Ani Ganzala, a Brazilian Black queer artist from Bahia. @kwissoker @DukePress @AniGanzala

Chest/breast cancer affects us all, and affirming care makes a difference. Let’s advocate for safe, inclusive exams and providers who respect gender identities. Share these images from the Gxnecologx Justice Lab to spread awareness. #ChestCancerAwareness #QueerHealth

Excited to discuss my book in the African American Studies program at UF! I’ll also share for the first time in public childhood and early adult experiences of anti-Blackness shaping my Afro-Latinx identity. Why not, it’s Hispanic Heritage Month✊🏾 ⁦⁦⁦@DrRJDBarnes⁩

It was pure joy to give away 8 books to faculty and students in South Africa incl. an organizer who presented on Black lesbians in Zimbabwe and a grad student in Capetown who recognized my flier and was thrilled to get a book! @kwissoker @DukePress @ReWorldingRepro @ratnagiri77

While the racial-ethnic chaos unfolds about VP Kamala Harris identities and ancestors, the police continue to kill us. The public refuses to take seriously how anti-Blackness and state violence works against us. #Sayhername

Tenure documents and dossier preparation are giving me neck stiffness. Must be the tension. Staying the course. Need yoga. If you know someone preparing for tenure, give them a neck massage. LOL

This is evidence #UTAustin of a better path. Instead, the police and UT staff walked around campus asking random students and faculty for their ID, which is illegal since there’s no intent of cause or arrest. Intimidation and harassment is the end game

😂😂 this made me laugh. If we can’t peacefully protest, might as well scream
Students at @Columbia doing a midnight primal scream—a Columbia tradition—outside of President Shafik’s mansion. You’d think that hospitalizing her own students would make it difficult to sleep at night. Since she’s heartless, students decided to give her a wake up call instead.

And this was the moment when Biden lost the 2024 election.
Reporter: Have the protests forced you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region? Biden: No Apparently Biden is not swayed by the mass killing of children, international law, or an election as a growing number of Americans are appalled by his policies.
