moved the needle. this is because the distaste for transness is something more visceral, at the level of the paranoia and anxiety around desire (sexuality), embodiment (the sexed body), and reproductive futurity (the family, children) it's incidentally why trans ppl are such a convenient scapegoat

An intersectional movement & policy agenda to promote the thriving of people and the planet is exactly what’s needed. It’s what the Politics of Futurity is all about. Institutions, technology, and economies toward wellbeing.
Haven't thought this out all the way through, but now would be a good time for an aggressive humanitarian movement to combat the death cults, the rise of AI, and otherwise anti-life impulses coursing through our politics and society.

this is really interesting because it's a cultural development in the ways omegaverse often is an attempt to negotiate queer sexual difference. the recurring "egg-laying turn" negates pregnancy itself to externalize gestation while maintaining futurity (sexual reproduction -> [lesbian] children)
people have created a new yuriful genre detached from omegaverse where women scissor and lay eggs... the world is beautiful

This is it. This correctly acknowledges that "STEM" is not a stable set of areas of inquiry but a floating term for what is aligned with futurity by those with power.

I am desperately waiting for regular media to figure out that 99% of the predictions coming out of tech CEO's mouths are complete bullshit. It's *perpetual futurity*; these "imminent" things are always 1 year, or 5 years, or "within a decade" away, and the goalposts keep moving as necessary.
"In mid-2024, a study of 2,500 workers found that 77 percent reported decreased productivity and even higher workloads when using AI. Just under 40 percent of workers reported increased workloads caused explicitly by AI's sloppy mistakes."

the future of lesbianism has a forked path. either it eschews all possibility of negotiating desire, thus self-abolishing itself as a sexual subculture and handing the century purely to being one singular path of gay guy culture, or it embraces being the avant-garde workshop of sexual futurity
not all that important of a topic in the grand scheme of things but honestly one of the reasons there isn’t a bigger market for lesbian media is how often lesbians write off said media as “being for the male gaze” by default without ever actually giving shit a try. god, it’s said ad nauseam

I have a piece on the politics of futurity coming out next month in Theory and Event and in it I talk about the uses of the politics of the trickster. Colbert is a professional trickster unleashed. An excellent development.
MAGA made a terrible tactical error in forcing Stephen Colbert off the air.
now he’s a free and considerably more vengeful chaos agent with immense popularity and good will behind him, instead of being safely confined on late night TV.
it’ll be fun to see what he does next.
