For all the party poopers out there. Don't stop talking about violence. Don't stop talking about Palestine. About freedom for all oppressed & colonized peoples. Whenever, wherever, however. #FreePalestine #KilljoyTruths #SilenceAboutViolenceisViolence feministkilljoys.substack.com/p/party-poop...

So much killjoy solidarity! Thanks to you and to @sallyhines.bsky.social and to the whole gender research network 💜💜

In an effort to build/rebuild online networks I've set up 3 starter kits in my main areas of research interest: Links in the posts which follow - reply to be added. And if you're in the intersecting areas, especially the middle bit, and we don't know each other already - do say hello 😊

A very cool thing happened this week. A group of people in the Gender Research Network at Sheffield got together to talk about the Feminist Killjoy Handbook and @saranahmed.bsky.social joined us online. What a wonderful discussion. Thanks @sallyhines.bsky.social for facilitating this space.

Happy Monday! One last boost for the Youth Studies Starter Pack - thanks everyone who asked to be on, or nominated colleagues. It's really helpful. Say hello if you'd like to be added... ECRs & PhDs welcome :) bsky.app/starter-pack...
