An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.
Thank you so much for contributing to this project! It’s always a pleasure reading your work.

Once upon a time, you'd go to give a talk at another university and a nice administrator would hand you a W-9 to sign and they'd send you a check in the mail for the honorarium.
Now you have to spend a half hour entering data on a Special Contractor Website that was designed in a lab by sadists.
For those impacted by this week's sudden closure of DIY HRT Cafe (hrtcafe. net), I have a live page on how to order hormones online with links to vendors and other live DIY sites including:

Love this for you!!!
In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
"Seen from this vantage, Good’s killing is not a 'mistake' but a reflection of how the agency is designed to operate...Abolishing an agency that teargasses two-year-olds and shoots mothers in the street isn’t radical. It is basic human decency."
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
Sigh. Now I feel like a curmudgeon, yelling at the kids to get off my lawn.
PSA for the UVA community: there are deaf professors on grounds. Riding your bicycle on the sidewalk or ramps is not safe because WE CANNOT HEAR YOU coming. Also, getting mad and giving me a dirty look because I didn’t move? 🤡
In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind: showing up at protests has real impact - -

Next to the cover is a blurb that reads: “Across genres and disciplinary perspectives, the authors in this important—indeed, urgent—volume forcefully critique intersecting normative regimes of language, disability, race, gender, sexuality, and class. In doing so, they ‘decline, defy, and disrupt’ the demands of such regimes, making a powerful argument that all languaging modes are valid and valuable.” —E. Mara Green, author of Making Sense: Language, Ethics, and Understanding in Deaf Nepal
Now available! THE CRIP LINGUISTICS READER is a wide-ranging and groundbreaking collection that challenges normative ideas about what is considered “good language.” Visit our website for more information on this latest release from GU Press! gupress.gallaudet.edu/Books/T/The-...
Excellent reporting from the Cavalier Daily about the right’s bad faith and paranoid obsession with syllabi at UVA. It’s worth keeping in mind that this contingent is led by people like Bert Ellis, who even Glenn Youngkin decided is too crazy to be trusted. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
A picture of somebody’s hand holding a flyer. The flyer says. Trans. Day of Remembrance , March, Nov 20th 6 PM 411 E. Main Street. Candlelight vigil at The Beautiful Idea, followed by March to the battle building. After party at RAQC. Fight like hell for the living.
Seen in the wild…#TDOR this Thursday, November 20. Join us downtown at 6 PM.
Typed too fast. It was actually a Volvo SUV.
Just had a very strange interaction on 5th St. downtown C’ville with a woman driving a navy blue VW SUV with Alaska plates. As she drove off, with her husband and child in the car, she stared me down, then made a V gesture and flicked her tongue through it. What is wrong with people?
There are a couple of seats newly open for this evening's "Zines for Change" zine-making workshop in the @scholarslab.bsky.social with Jess Walters!

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader
The reason they gave up is because the Democrats’ real constituency is upper middle class travelers worried about delays, not working class SNAP beneficiaries and people most harmed by the loss of health care.
Gorgeous! Are you making posters or t-shirts?
Starving disabled people in the richest country in the world is a policy choice.
Glad to see my undergrad is *finally* getting it done.
