- The landscape for LGBTQ+ research is so bleak. Still fuming that UKRI decided this review was acceptable and didn't undermine EDI policy. Highlights: no relevence to LGB cuz trans inclusive, no hostile climate cuz Pride and gay marriage, no need for declonisation cuz Tate did it 24 years ago (?) 🤷♀️
- Apropos of nothing that has happened this week…where is the best place to look for academic jobs in the EU? The UK no longer feels like a place my community is welcome and I am genuinely scared.
- Today’s news is so bleak. What a horribly hostile place the U.K. continues to be. Check on your trans siblings. Lives are on the line here. 🩷🤍💙

- Another day, another PI asking me to work for free on their funded project to do ‘important diversity work’. When will this exploitation stop? 😅
- 2024 was shit. 2025 is starting off with a trompe-l'oeil ‘wine goblet’ that looks like a camply decorated cake. #winning
