The Queer Data showcase is fantastic. Lots of excellent funny, thought-provoking presentations and my highlight so far has been @katherinewyers.bsky.social with improv sax accompanying her story of the emotional toll of queer fieldwork.

A single sociologist. Not a medic. Not even an expert in gender and sexuality. A guy whose academic contribution and teaching is on social movements and protest actions, gone entirely off-piste for the sake of bigotry.

The number of people living in temporary accommodation has reached record levels in the UK. Those from Black African, Black Caribbean and Arab backgrounds are heavily over-represented in the homeless population. Learn more about ethnic inequalities in housing affordability here ⤵️ buff.ly/4U3ZPBb

This work by @ashstokoe.bsky.social and I highlights the importance of administrative records - and ways they are scrutinised and policed - on trans people’s participation in public life. It’s a topic that feels increasingly relevant in the UK 🎓🌈

UCU's LGBT+ UK standing committee (of which I'm a member) is drafting a statement. Unity, sharing and solidarity are vital. Please do reach out to the national committee (me or others) to know what's going on at a national level, so that we've got each other's backs: www.ucu.org.uk/article/2971...

Keep an eye out for @/afcomm.org.uk, which has just followed me and is an obvious front for legitimating anti-trans propaganda in academia, alongside potentially legitimating Toby Young’s personal front for covid conspiracy-mongering and hate

I really enjoyed working on this project and getting to see some of the range of Housing First services that have been establishing themselves across the UK. Great to see the report has made it out into the world!

We desperately need more critical thinking from medical bureaucrats and so-called allies. Medical officers and advisory bodies take Cass' unevidenced claims at face value. Then politicians and journalists take the advice of these officers/bodies advice at face value. An edifice of disinformation.

General reminder to please post things that might cheer people up or at least raise a wry smile, or even hopes. Not just bleakness. And if your timeline is full of the latter, actively seek out the former. There's a lot of great stuff happening. People are still mostly good. As are cats and dogs.
