We participate as a public session in protest of the APA's decision not to hold another divisional meeting online. We urge the discipline to embrace accessibility and sustainability.

This Saturday we are so excited to present one of four *fully public* sessions of the American Philosophical Association's very last online divisional meeting. No registration needed!

& check out the other public sessions on virtual conferencing, contingent faculty, and philosophy in public policy!

Hot for Revolution Caleb Ward Abstract Activists for feminist, queer, and disability justice commonly describe their work as motivated by an erotic desire to build a different world. This chapter argues that this is not merely a metaphor. Drawing on activist case studies and the work of Audre Lorde, the chapter shows that erotic desire and pleasure in social movements can foster political agency for people targeted by sexual oppression. It traces three political benefits of erotic passion in this context: personal empowerment, communal moral resistance against oppressive norms and justifications, and enhanced political imagination toward a world that supports sexual agency. However, because intimate relationships within movements are often distorted by dominant, pernicious ideologies around sex, these political benefits are only realizable when a movement is organized internally around a relational infrastructure – an ethos – that supports sexual agency and equality, responsive to the needs of those targeted by sexual oppression. Keywords: political agency, sexual oppression, social movements, sexual agency, Audre Lorde, feminism, disability, queer politics, moral resistance, political imagination

Members of the Lesbian and Gay community stage a Valentine‘s Day “Kiss-In” 14 February 1988 outside St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York to present a message of their unity and love in the face of the “church condoning anti-gay and anti-lesbian violence”. (Photo by MARIA BASTONE / AFP)

What does it mean to be hot for revolution—to feel a desire to transform the world in your belly and your bones?

Here's my latest, on how erotic desire feeds political agency. I draw on AIDS activism, disability justice & other movements against sexual oppression.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

omggg publishing in autostraddle about lesbian nuns as a philosopher is the coolest thing ever!! congrats!! 🤩

What We Can Learn From Lesbian Nuns A forgotten 1980s bestseller on lesbian nuns is the antidote to dating app burnout and the "cool queer" rat race.

Why you should read a forgotten 80s bestseller about lesbian nuns - the reason is much more wholesome than you think.

(Also truly living my best Catholic school girl life - I love @autostraddle.bsky.social and it's thrilling to get to write heretically for them!)

some history around this: in the US, a lot of standards around double blind trials changed in the 1990's because of the advocacy of queer and trans AIDS activists who thought double blind trials for life saving medications were unethical. It's sad to see medicine reverting to harmful practices.

This is horrifying

Prison Is Like a Pawn Shop Pawn shops devalue items to make money. Prisons devalue us as humans, even though we have much to offer.

Prison is like a pawn shop. It tries to suck every penny out of you.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

so cool!! do you have a syllabus you’d be willing to share?

It's really fun to think about how the artist can make an argument but omission, whereas in propositional arguments, you can seldom get away with this. The artist can question the very ground they paint on, all while still painting something of such immense beauty.
