Opinion | What if her name were “Buffy” Griner

Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle are an American love story. Let us try a thought experiment. Instead of being a 6’9” basketball player and black lesbian, Brittney Griner is a five-foot-two (eyes of blue) white evangelical named Buffy with a business that refuses to serve the LBGTQ+ community. Further,...

I Have a (Olympic) Dream

Women and people of color had a unique experience that ended yesterday in Tokyo, Japan. The controversial Summer Olympics closed with America at the top of the medal leader board despite some members of the team having barbs and sticks hurled at them from the right-wing.  Lots of conservatives and...

Minerva @ Midnight: “it works” a pragmatics of lived experience

We remain weary about the callow stupidity of the GOP/GQP but we must not patronize or condescend about how superfluous their grievances have been and continue to be.

Look, say Republican Senators. “Biden wants respect and bipartisanship, so all we are asking for is that his nominees show us the respect we so rightly deserve.” We therefore demand. All nominees must agree with us, especially women with their own “ideas”. All nominees must have been nice to us,...

ME-Sen: Susan Collins (R) Is “Truly Grateful” For Endorsement From Anti-LGBTQ, Anti-Abortion Group

From The Huffington Post: Though Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has lost several key endorsements to Democratic challenger Sara Gideon this election cycle, she received the full support last week of at least one group in her state: the anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion Christian Civic League of Maine. During an Oct. 13 interview...

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: is there a “fully unexploited luxury socialism”

450px-Grant_Columbus1.JPG

This week I attended (remotely) the Rethinking Economics Festival and encountered challenging pluralist discourses like a platform economy (noting that most of such work is populated by women), decolonizing the Eurocentric position in disciplines, or “fully-automated luxury communism”. I thought I’d share some resource items and make a few observations....

Florida Republicans still encourage LGBTQ hatred four years after Pulse

 A few blocks from my home is the site of the Pulse massacre. We just passed the 4-year anniversary. In the six months that led up to the massacre, Florida Republicans had introduced more than 200 bills attacking freedoms of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities. But it’s okay: my right-wing...

Hallmark Channel removes gay-friendly ads after conservative group complains

One day we’ll be well past this kind of thing, but for now … The Hallmark Channel has pulled four gay-friendly ads featuring lesbian women getting married and kissing at an altar. The ads, for Zola.com, were apparently deemed too “controversial” for the family- evangelical Christian-friendly network. AP: “The debate surrounding...
