Right after defending my dissertation, I had another peer reviewed article published today: "'We're Pro-Choice and We Riot!': Anarcha-Feminism in Love and Rage (1989-98)" in a new special issue of the open access journal Coils of the Serpent. https://coilsoftheserpent.org/2023/06/were-pro-choice-and-we-riot/
"Anarcha-feminists in Love and Rage (1989-98), the foremost revolutionary anarchist organization of the late twentieth century United States, made significant interventions into both the anarchist and feminist movements. This new generation of anarcha-feminists theorized and practiced intersectional revolutionary politics in their struggle against patriarchy, capitalism, the state, and white supremacy.
In this article, I first address anarcha-feminist struggles against male dominance within Love and Rage before turning to their contributions to the fight for reproductive freedom, queer and trans liberation, AIDS activism, and the fight against workfare at the City University of New York.
Unlike liberal feminists who sought legal reforms and formal social equality, anarcha-feminists fought to strengthen women’s autonomy and self-determination through grassroots organizing. Although their contributions are often overlooked, I ultimately argue that anarcha-feminists in Love and Rage were central to the evolution and revitalization of both feminism and anarchism and shaped the development of revolutionary intersectional politics in the late twentieth century and beyond."

@eris you definitely have
@ch4r10t_tv hell yeah. i've been struggling to wrap up what i need to for my own essays, i really gotta get on that. i'm excited to see what you put out though!!

@eris wait hold on i like coffee
@ch4r10t_tv omg hi cherry!!!!
okay i gotta keep myself focused some today, i spent the last couple days being lazy, but today i've gotta make some progress on my research projects which are currently separated out into three significant pieces which share obvious overlaps.
1. Denomadization, 2. Compulsory Schooling, and 3. Queerness
Each of these is going to form a foundation that lets us discuss genocide in more ways than making reference to the imagery of the holocaust.
A wandering deer, building shrines along the way.
