“Going Viral” is an opportunity to think with “Going Viral” is an opportunity to think with the logics and lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic about the ways that intimacy, mobility, information, body, nation, gender, and sexuality are imbricated through viruses, and other transmittable forms. Is the virus airborne? The constantly shifting data on how the Coronavirus spreads has reconfigured breath and other normative bodily habitations, from mask-wearing and hand sanitizing, to elbow-taps and grocery wiping. Through what fluids is the virus transmitted? Covid-19 has required reconsiderations of physical intimacy, with cities even publishing sex guides. The governance of intimacy is all too familiar to people considered “at risk” of HIV infection: queer and trans people, sex workers, migrants, and drug users. Does the virus know gender? Computer viruses named Melissa and ILOVEYOU signal how gender, intimacy, and affect become vectors for digital migrations. But along with viruses travel techniques of care and survival that are distinctly gendered; consider the recurring report that nations with women leaders handled pandemic response better. Is racism the virus? Racist attacks have targeted Asian people, casting them as originators and spreaders of Covid-19. HIV, Ebola, H1N1, and Avian Flu have each been attached to particular racialized populations in ways that cast suspicion on their sexual and intimate proximities with humans and other animals. Further, reports of higher infection rates amongst Black and Latinx populations pulled the veil back on unequal structures of labor, housing, and access to medical care. The current pandemic is an accumulation of many viral histories. This panel invites scholars to draw form their original research to explore the traffic in viral discourse and the pathways of transmission—of data, bodies, feelings, ideology—through feminist, queer, and trans lenses.

Today is my partner’s birthday and I made this! Today is my partner’s birthday and I made this! Among many sad times of the pandemic was our little Covid kitten who passed away of a congenital heart condition at the age of 5 months. We have a special rock in the neighborhood to remember him - the Oz Rock. Whenever we walk by we touch the rock and say hello. So this is the magic Oz Rock and the majestic Oz kitten beaming up and down from his sky business.
I’m so honored to publish this new article co-wr I’m so honored to publish this new article co-written with Dr. Katlyn Turner and @space.enabled who are based at the @mitmedialab. It is called “The Abuse and Misogynoir Playbook” and details how the firing of #TimnitGebru from @google comes straight out of a centuries-old playbook used to try to silence Black women who speak truth to power. It was just published in the State of AI Ethics Report Jan 2021 by Montreal AI Ethics Institute. Beautiful diagram by @mqqt_
