This article asks how queer/trans archiving, curating, and displaying material were articulated as activism in Latin America, debating the cultural and political meanings of these practices in a global context.

In Argentina. Feeling how the world is closing over us. There is sun, but there is no hope.

I am working on an article that is totally different for what I usually do. I am not sure why I complicated my life so much, but here I am trying to make sense of my chaos.

I am reading about memory studies, and I am shocked by how they announce a turn every two pages.

🧵You know what I would love love loveeeeee. Mainstream media platforming migrants. I’ve written plenty about it and yet all the articles going around are written by British folk? Part of the problem with the discourse is lack of representation on mainstream media? Who would have thought lol

I always think of that text of Adorno in which he describes his admiration for Benjamin's ideas. My book is back in Argentina, but according to the internet was something like

Very interesting paper by Fraccaroli & Simonetto (@psimonetto.bsky.social) which explores LGBTQ + archival practices in Latin America and highlights that archives share but also contest the meaning and materiality of memory of how LGBTQ+ people are remembered:

I am in Argentina doing fieldwork for my new research project. Here you can see the laboratory of the world to come: fascism. It's extremely scary; I've never seen anything like this before. It is not an exaggeration to say that many people working in public institutions live with fear.

I'm not sure if it's an English thing, but why do students write with extremely long paragraphs? I read essays with paragraphs that exceed a page, making it very difficult to follow their ideas. Do they teach this in A levels?

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.
