For those skeptical about joining the ‘other site’ I’ve amassed the same amount of followers I have on here in less than 24 hours - and discovered so many academics whose work I was not familiar with prior. It feels like ye good olde days! 🦋

An honour to meet Saito-san, originator of Memorial Quilt Japan, in Kyoto today. The project is dedicated to those impacted by HIV/AIDS and it was very emotional hearing stories about the lives it memorialises. Big thanks to @DaiwaFoundation for making the partnership possible.

Objects in Transition, 2024 cotton and silk embroidery thread, linen and cotton applique, PVC sequins on cotton fabric 
This book began as an explanation of sorts to friends and family: why I had started medically transition, and why I had waited.

Despite two top reviews, this @ahrcpress grant was rejected. One reviewer claimed it had no “relevance to LGB” and proved a “psychological risk” to children because it includes queer/trans people, and that there is “insufficient evidence” that LGBTQ+ people face hostility. 1/2

Just submitted a big grant. Like brilliant colleagues who were rejected, I probably won’t get it. This took 3 years of research and planning with 2 partners. Huge amounts of time, energy and input from countless people. The system is broken. At least there’s Prosecco. 🥂🌼

Unsure how @UKRI_News can uphold their principle of research “by everyone, for everyone” when review college members undermine EDI policy and exclude diverse researchers from their “inclusive”system. We have been waiting for a response to our complaint since July. @JaiGupte 2/2
