Abstract:There is a storied history of Native and Indigenous feminisms on Turtle Island (North America). We are fortunate that many of those stories birthed from an ancestral tradition of storytelling and survivance were captured in the canonical feminist anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings of Radical Women of Color. In celebration and commemoration of 40 years since This Bridge was first published we visit with three of the books original Native and Indigenous contributors–Chrystos, Max Wolf Valerio, and Jo Carrillo–to recount old as well as new stories as they explore what Native and Indigenous feminisms mean to them and their continued work for Indigenous visibility. The conversation provides a unique intergenerational vision for conceptualizing contemporary Native and Indigenous feminisms all the while building upon the legacy and path set forth by amazing Native and Indigenous women trailblazers.

Background: Accurate quality of life (QoL) data and functional results after cancer surgery are lacking for older patients. The international, multicenter Geriatric Oncology Surgical Assessment and Functional rEcovery after Surgery (GOSAFE) Study compares QoL before and after surgery and identifies predictors of decline in QoL.
Methods: GOSAFE prospectively collected data before and after major elective cancer surgery on older adults (≥70 years). Frailty assessment was performed and postoperative outcomes recorded (30, 90, and 180 days postoperatively) together with QoL data by means of the three-level version of the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), including 2 components: an index (range = 0-1) generated by 5 domains (mobility, self-care, ability to perform the usual activities, pain or discomfort, anxiety or depression) and a visual analog scale.
Results: Data from 26 centers were collected (February 2017-March 2019). Complete data were available for 942/1005 consecutive patients (94.0%): 492 male (52.2%), median age 78 years (range = 70-95 years), and primary tumor was colorectal in 67.8%. A total 61.2% of all surgeries were via a minimally invasive approach. The 30-, 90-, and 180-day mortality was 3.7%, 6.3%, and 9%, respectively. At 30 and 180 days, postoperative morbidity was 39.2% and 52.4%, respectively, and Clavien-Dindo III-IV complications were 13.5% and 18.7%, respectively. The mean EQ-5D-3L index was similar before vs 3 months but improved at 6 months (0.79 vs 0.82; P < .001). Domains showing improvement were pain and anxiety or depression. A Flemish Triage Risk Screening Tool score greater than or equal to 2 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.13 to 2.21, P = .007), palliative surgery (OR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.01 to 4.52, P = .046), postoperative complications (OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.19 to 3.18, P = .007) correlated with worsening QoL.
Conclusions: GOSAFE shows that older adults' preoperative QoL is preserved 3 months after cancer surgery, independent of their age. Frailty screening tools, patient-reported outcomes, and goals-of-care discussions can guide decisions to pursue surgery and direct patients' expectations.

THE ASYMMETRICAL, UNCOMPENSATED LABORS OF ACADEME have been the object of feminist scrutiny for years-well before the global outbreak of COVID-19.1 Noting the obvious "parallels with family life," critics long have observed that feminized faculty tend to take on, or to be tasked with, a disproportionate amount of institutional caretaking: non-research and non-teaching functions such as serving on institutional committees, managing admissions processes, writing student letters of recommendation, and advising, mentoring, and counseling students from underrepresented and marginalized communities navigating hostile or indifferent environments.2 Research plainly shows that such caring labor is disproportionately conducted by feminized workers, and increasingly feminized workers of color.3 Advice for how to rectify these inequities, echoing the victim-blaming bromides delivered to overwhelmed housewives, often is reduced to individual behavioral modification, as when "senior female professors" are encouraged to "model self-restraint" for untenured faculty members by "learning how to say 'no. Small regional private colleges with low endowments currently face financial pressures distinct from vocational twoyear colleges, online credentialing programs, or top-tier global research universities;state regulations and revenue streams vary by national and regional context;religiously-affiliated institutions embody entanglements that non-religiously affiliated institutions do not;in the US context, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, and predominantly white institutions occupy dissimilar social positions. The broad outlines of that restructuring are likely familiar to most readers of this academic journal: government divestment from public higher education, increased student fees and tuitions, the corporatization of university administration, the expansion of contingent and disposable teaching labor, the focus on education as a "deliverable" for students to "consume," the extension of working hours through 24/7 email availability, etc.8 Take, for example, the United States, where our academic labor is physically located (even as it is Zoom-distributed elsewhere): as recently as three decades ago, 75 percent of working faculty members were tenured or tenure track;now it is roughly 25 percent, depending on how online educators are tallied.9 The new contingent majority often teach, advise, write, and think in highly precarious conditions, commuting weekly, if not daily, between multiple campuses. Exhausting emotional and manual labor can remain inadequately recognized and compensated as long as that labor is effectively naturalized as maternal affection or feminine empathy.17 Already, in the pre-pandemic university, the affective imperative to work excessively out of love (for literature, for science, etc.) provided a means of access to the academic professional's embodied labor power - access shaped, as ever, by hierarchies of race, language, c

CONVERSATIONS, NEWS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS about COVID are saturated with stories about animals: accounts of "wild" animals emerging and seen in cities around the world, an increase in the number of bird watchers, an astronomical rise in webcam views of wildlife, videos of zoo animals walking through their exhibition halls or through art museums and galleries. Animals are also getting adopted and fostered at an unprecedented rate, and pets appear on virtual meetings as never before. Since the World Health Organization's (who) official announcement of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, news reports related to meat are differently but equally prevalent: the disappearance of chicken and other meat from grocery shelves;the rapid spread of the virus and death among workers in meat-packing industries;the closure of slaughterhouses leading to hogs, cows, and other animals raised for food being "euthanized";and claims about covid emerging from the meat of exotic animals sold in Asian "wet" markets. Coverage of "wild" animals in urban areas and temporary reduction in carbon emissions lead to speculations on whether these are signs of hope for a healthier planet (among the sickness of covid) and for a potential reversal of the environmental damage of global warming and climate change.1 More time with pets and connections with nonhuman kin enabled by greater leisure time or forced isolation are seen as possibilities that we can suture the sense of alienation (with each other and the natural world) that modernity engenders.2 Stories about animals in slaughterhouses and in farms, fields, and factories raised as part of the industrial production of food do not occupy the same representational space in news or popular accounts;even less do citings about the scarcity of meat in stores and work and death in meat processing plants occur alongside narratives of animal sightings. Numerous reports warn us about the rising incidence of zoonotic diseases, seen for instance in sars and Ebola, and our growing vulnerability in the face of animal-to-human virus transmissions.7 Global demand for meat has increased 260 percent in the last fifty years, and illegal wildlife trade has increased exponentially.8 Unfettered capitalism has led to covid, and the links between the two are steadfast and explicit.
