For Patrons I wrote about the Hammer 1959 Mummy, imperialism and sex.
I wrote about why trying to convince Republicans is not really the way to political change.
And a post on why you should show political solidarity with people who show up rather than focusing all your efforts on folks who don’t.
I wrote about taking the woman your family enslaved, throwing her in the literary nonfiction machine, and turning the crank.
And I reprinted one of the nicest things anyone has said about me on the internets.
Utilitarians Everywhere
At Quartz I talked to Heath Fogg Davis about his book Beyond Trans and eliminating gender segregation.
At Splice Today I wrote about
—new pop releases by Tanika Charles, Charlotte OC, and the Overcoats.
—the Believer and why self-hating Jews are an anti-Semitic trope.
—Freddie deBoer fulminating against fulminators.
At the Reader I wrote about blues/pop artist ZZ Ward.

It’s funny, but that’s the argument right-wingers always resorts to. If I criticize GamerGate is must be because I hate my own sex. If I criticize racist groups, then it must be because I hate myself as a Dane.
They just can’t comprehend when people in the same category as themselves doesn’t share their worldview.
