Any thoughts and resources on dealing with emotionally difficult subject matter in research? The case study I am currently working on is especially emotionally gruelling and I am wondering if there is a way to make the experience less difficult. #AcademicSky #Skystorians #AcademicWriting

Amazing how such small numbers have been identified as the voice of the nation when, for comparison, 100,000 turned out for trans pride last month in London.

Milwaukee’s LGBTQ+ community, led by Josie Carter, fought back against homophobic attackers at Black Nite bar. One of the earliest queer uprisings in U.S. history—years before Stonewall. ✊🏳️🌈

The title, 'Chief Rabbi', is a fatuous title granted by the UK state to specific Jews that align with its political interests. He carries no authority beyond what was granted by the state, which means absolutely none at all. The same goes for his knighthood

Taken trans rights back 25 years.
Banned from every major Pride march in the country because of their bigotry.
Biggest drop in the UK's ILGA rating.
But Labour are wishing us "Happy Pride.
Can't bring themselves to say to LGBTQ+ though. The racist fucks in Labour probably think it means white pride

We were proud to stand alongside Al Haq and GLAN LAW yesterday morning outside the Royal Courts of Justice. Our government can and must stop the supply of F-35 parts to the Israeli military, as part of a full arms embargo.

Does writing a long history of trans women really take a "delirious imperialist" (Gill-Peterson, 2024)? Or is the insistent refusal to give such womanhood a name instead consistent w/ the colonial project of trans misogyny?
