February is going to be a busy time! I'm excited to join the @linneansociety.bsky.social Symposium on Exploring Queerness in Natural History, give a talk to lovely people with Margate Pride, and finally, #QueerNature is returning to the Powell-Cotton Museum. Now where did I put the lonzenges?
Had a lovely time yesterday! Thank you to the organisers and all the other speakers who gave me so much to think about and reading materials and exciting projects to look up 📚📑
We had a wonderful time yesterday at Exploring Queerness in Natural History.
We're writing up it up to share in a future blog post, but for now here are some pictures of our fantastic curators @aquadan1.bsky.social and Connor Butler, the lunchtime zine-making, and our afternoon panellists.

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library.
300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive.
A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable.
Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼

Today in the UK, the Online Safety Act (2023) came into force. This means that social media companies are required to undertake age verification for users in the UK to see "adult content". And who decides what is and is not "adult content"? The social media companies themselves.

As part of my Master's project at Uni Edinburgh, I developed "Queer Nature". The guided tour explores LGBTQ+ behaviours in animals, based on the dioramas at the Powell-Cotton Museum. Yesterday was the first time I presented it to a small audience, to prepare for its launch in August 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

The crab museum is (kind of) local to me, and run by amazing folks. If you're in the area, show them some love, and all the while enjoy a really clever museum experience 🦀🏳️⚧️
This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic
