Just sitting here thinking about Mary Ann Willson (circa 1820s) and wondering how terrific her work will look on my lesbian-focused queer lit syllabus that is still very much a work in progress.

“A photograph gives shape to history; it allows us to fashion a landscape of feeling, . . . A photograph is a ladder that goes backward in time, a ladder we can push away whenever we want. With photographs, we can obscure the past as much as illuminate it.” ~Billy-Ray Belcourt

Federalism in Drag: Timothy Dexter’s Pickle and Other Perverse Properties

Oxford University Press has released a free chapter from _Feeling Singular: Queer Masculinities in the Early US_ "Federalism in Drag: Timothy Dexter’s _Pickle_ and Other Perverse Properties." It begins with @sasha_velour and ends with wooden statues. https://t.co/eiX25ApAF8

Reading Victor Heringer's THE LOVE OF SINGULAR MEN and had to share and re-gender these sentences: "Last time I saw [him], about two years ago, it looked like [he'd] slept in a bath of bleach. [He's] old in the damp, flaccid way of someone who loved being young a bit too much."

About six months ago my students told me to listen to Chappell Roan and I shirked the suggestion. But now…now I can’t stop listening. And I’m reminded that my students are so unbelievably wonderful and it’s summer and I need structure and I’m listening to the song again.

I just this very moment received a push notification that told me I’ve listened to Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!” too much and that I need to give my phone a break.

Still feeling the love from FEELING SINGULAR’s book release party at my favorite Indianapolis bookstore, Golden Hour Books! Huge thanks to @esj312 for the terrific questions!! And @saragelston for creating the space! @OUPAcademic @OxUniPress

One week away from FEELING SINGULAR's book release event, where I'll be in conversation with @esj312 about the process of writing this book and the insights it provides for thinking about queerness. https://t.co/DvPzpfAm46 Use code AAFLYG6 for a 30% discount at check out.

I'm now going through past emails to map out the timeline for the other writers--to give them a sense of things, as I so appreciated that when I was in their seats--and I'm feeling grateful for the attention and care of @hannahsdoyle--FEELING SINGULAR indeed

Later this afternoon I'm participating on a virtual roundtable with a group of academics about publishing their first book and I'm reflecting on the seamless journey that @hannahsdoyle and her team provided me with @OxUniPress. I'm so grateful!
