For those of you concerned about the "damage" done to the field and academic freedom by the push to cancel transphobes in philosophy, I have this to say


The above is from Gen. Sherman on what is necessary to restore the Union during the Civil War, the sentiment is apt for my position on philosophy: if we are to have an inclusive field and the structure of the field prevents that, then that structure must be destroyed. (2/n)

Now, I understand that this sounds harsh, but consider why it sounds harsh: so much of the pushback against transphobia in philosophy, and the recommendations made to address transphobia in philosophy sounds like "damage" to philosophy by established philosophers. (3/n)

And in response to that perception of damage or destruction, they push back hard to preserve the "integrity" of the field, regardless of the harm being done to the marginalized people who have to survive an inhospitable field that refuses to change. (4/n)

Now, this position was anticipated by Sara Ahmed in the following:

“Indeed so often just talking about sexism as well as racism is heard as damaging the institution. If talking about sexism and racism is heard as damaging institutions, we need to damage institutions.” (5/n)
Hello, gentrified farm & food media.

Get your shit together. Clean up your house.

There are thousands of BIPOC and working-class activists doing the real work of building viable, accessible, long-term food systems.

And y'all prefer to work with actual crackpots over them.


This isn't an isolated event. Joel Salatin has been completely candid about his white supremacy, and the food movement kept platforming him for years. Here's just one journalist talking about how he did so despite Black women repeatedly asking him not

Baker Creek kept platforming very special militant white dude Cliven Bundy until their own customers boycotted them out of

In today's food & justice world: Latine meat plant workers are one of, if not the hardest-hit demographic in the pandemic.

Indigenous communities are scrambling to vaccinate older tribe members to keep their languages from going extinct.

More than 1 in 750 Indigenous & Black Americans have already died from COVID.

And your response to this horror is… horse around with a dude who makes movies about how it's fake? And tries to overturn free and fair elections?

*That's* what you've got?
Things I learned after I got covid (I'm fine now):
- You can be contagious 1-3 days before having symptoms
- Taking zinc can make you really nauseas ... taking too many vitamins can also make you super nauseas
- Protein and hydration are key
- The headaches are no joke

- You should really try to walk around (inside) for some parts of the day even though you want to and probably will sleep literally all day
- The rapid tests are SOOOO INACCURATE. The PCR test matters. If you're in GA, cvs is a great.
https://t.co/AlSdQ5mkxK is testing ASAP tho

- You really need to let everyone you interacted with 1-3 days before becoming symptomatic when you've tested positive. It sucks sending that message, but you need to do it.
- You should also let people you've seen in the 14 days prior know too incase you got it from them

- Stay away from sugar (yes even donuts). Make healthy smoothies. They really helped.
- I took vit c and d (apparently d is really important). Fish oil (some days) and zinc (but stopped bc it was making me feel sick)
- Also used a nasal spray and a colloidal silver spray.

- I didn't develop a cough. My fiance had one. I'm not sure if its bc I started doing a salt water gargle early but who knows. I had a sore throat like the first day and that's all.
- Tylenol didn't help my headache. A shower made it slightly more bearable. Took nyquil at night
