September 19, 2020: The existence of Ruth Wilson Gilmore within the academic system of New York City occasionally makes me consider graduate school. Perhaps the ultimate sign of her theory hitting the mainstream is the meme account 'Ruth Wilson Gilmore Girls,' which transposes texts of hers over images from Gilmore Girls - honestly a nice place to start if you want to roll bite-sized. She and Mariame Kaba, i believe, could push anyone toward prison abolition, and it's thrilling to see them getting op-eds places like the New York Times. (photo unaccredited, her CUNY headshot)
