So profoundly moved by the latest episode of @TheLastofUsHBO . It might find its way into my lecture on Queer Time and Queer Joy in cinema if I can talk about it without crying again
I was never afraid before you showed up.

Quite disappointed in BFI but now even more excited to have programmed Daughters of the Dust by @JulieDash for my first lecture on @BoltonsMotors ‘s MA module Feminist Film Philosophy

Listening to the #KathleenCollins masterclass from 1984 to prepare for the seminars today and I'm just in awe of how her words and ideas are still so powerful and relevant. Can't wait to discuss with the students!

🚨 BREAKING: Rogue @QMUL Principal Colin Bailey is threatening to shut down Film degree programmes to punish staff for industrial action. QMUL managers were already planning to withhold 100% pay for 42 days from staff taking part in the marking boycott. ucu.org.uk/article/12385/QMU…

Discussing Judith Butler’s work in my seminars this week. Always so exciting to discover their work anew through students’ perspectives. Makes me wish we had 2 hours for it!
On the `stack: "Understood and misunderstood, as Gender Trouble circulated in seminar rooms and dormitories, it helped feminists of all ages imagine a politics and a scholarly perspective that transcended the identity politics of the Awful Eighties." clairepotter.substack.com/p/…

Receiving this email as a student who is also a member of staff was incredibly disheartening. Better teaching conditions benefit students too.
The email I just recieved from @QMUL on the incoming strike action is appalling. "If you see any behaviour that is concerning on the picket line, or feel you cannot cross it, please contact Security immediately" Our Principal is desperate to turn students against staff

bell hooks taught a new generation of intersectional feminists what radical community love meant. I always felt held accountable by her writings and ushered forward by her ideas. Thank you for sharing your mind with us.
