I wrote a pice for QueerAF about Queer Joy and the life sustaining power of getting The Family together 🌈💗🫶 I hope it lifts your little gae spirits.

So, voting is done, we have some new people elected locally. Now we tell them what they need to do for us. Sunday afternoon in the cafe, we're going to write letters to every level of elected official we've got. Come join us, 2:30 onwards. We've got paper, envelopes, and causes.

This looks funnnn! I love anything that With LAIKA gets up to 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

THIS. Paywalled academic journals are an exploitative racket. They do not create any value whatsoever, they only take and hoard the work of others. What would happen if we all just… stopped participating..? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Remind me why we all just sort of accept this? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Frog head witch wishes you a bright and peaceful Friday 🐸

Give us your feminist art works! Submit today! Final call!

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting the symbolic security of being in an official relationship. However, I also think that any sense of security we get from being in one is fundamentally an illusion.” metro.co.uk/2023/06/04/i-l… 💗 you Metro

Absolutely loved writing this piece about how situationships help me to mind my own business and be less of an annoying idiot. Special thanks to my fantastic editor Jess Austin 🙌🌟🙌

The quote of the film has to go to Batman, who, finding himself entangled in Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth, concedes that if he really wanted to eliminate crime, he should eliminate poverty. Big love to Movie Marker for publishing my review of #TheFlash moviemarker.co.uk/the-flash/

Want.
