‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson
A screenshot of a multi‐column table listing several U.S. presidential Executive Orders relating to LGBTQ+ rights and antidiscrimination policies. Each row has columns for “Origin” (POTUS), “Number/Identifier” (e.g., EO 13988), “Title” (such as Preventing and Combating Discrimination…), “Action Type” (e.g., Broad Nondiscrimination, Military Nondiscrimination), “Summary” (key points of each order), and “Date Signed.” The listed orders span from early 2021 through early 2025, covering topics like preventing discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, banning conversion therapy, rescinding prior harmful EOs, and restricting or expanding DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives.
A spreadsheet at the top shows columns tracking anti‐LGBTQ bills by status and year: total bills (334), 2025 bills (327), 2024 rollovers (7), how many passed committees (3), passed one chamber (5), passed both chambers (0), enacted (1), vetoed (0), failed (3), and carried forward (0). Below that, another header row lists different types of anti‐LGBTQ legislation (e.g., gender‐affirming care bans, pronoun bans, “Don’t Say Gay,” drag bans, bathroom bans) with the total count of each category (e.g., 55 for gender‐affirming care bans, 20 for pronoun bans, 14 for “Don’t Say Gay,” etc.). A color‐coded U.S. map spans the lower half, with states shaded from light orange to deep red according to how many anti‐LGBTQ bills they contain. Texas appears in the darkest red (46 bills), with lighter shades indicating fewer bills in other states. A note at the bottom right explains that the map shows total tracked bills per state, which does not necessarily reflect each bill’s likelihood of passage.
We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation.
We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills.

Purple Grimace with green Uncle O’Grimacy.
A new unhinged Grimace just dropped to get us through these tough times.
We’re living through dark and serious times so I’m glad the New York Times sent me this news email blast.
Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.
Great talking point for my gender and politics class for when we read bell hooks. Feminism is about ending oppression for ALL people.
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
I laughed so hard when my friend explained to me how they watch other people play video games on Twitch. And yet here I am, watching other people’s livestreams of their birdfeeders.
Is anyone else being quietly haunted by the specter of their still unopened Fall 2024 faculty evaluations?
No one is coming to save us. We’ve got to be there for each other.
Now out in Perspectives — our article on autonomy in transnational feminist organizing. We find autonomous movements have potential to better serve marginalized populations of women. @slweldon.bsky.social @kaitlindktphd.bsky.social @summerforester.bsky.social @poppublicsphere.bsky.social

Gender imbalance in academe:
"Women remain underrepresented among faculty in nearly all academic fields. Using a census of 245,270 tenure-track and tenured professors [...] we show that women leave academia overall at higher rates than men at every career age..."

There is absolutely nothing in the world I would rather be doing on this peaceful Friday afternoon before break than trying desperately to understand what is happening with Editorial Manager and why it didn’t properly update my submission status.
NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.

New planner day! I love the short time period when I can believe next year will be different and I will be organized.
