I’m sorry but no fucking way

No fucking way is this how my parents find out about furries

Second in-person MedRen smashed 💪
Phenomenal work by @medren2025.bsky.social continuing an unusually anarchic conference tradition. This conference stands out among other musicology conferences for its unique combo of high levels of calibre, craic, and camp, and it was a delight to be a part of 🥰

No gods no masters only Mari Lywd and a bottle of bucky

In hindsight signing up to do two papers at @medren2025.bsky.social might have been overly ambitious

It took nearly 11 years of the state trying to bankrupt us, wear us down, & destroy any sense that I belonged to a community or family. But they couldn’t, and now, the home office has conceded that I do in fact belong here: I have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. And I ain’t going nowhere.

Today @musicheritageplace.bsky.social premieres on the radio! Tune every day this week to @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social at 9.45 pm into hear about music history, enclosure, social history, and more 🎵

Becoming reobssessed with the musical Le Roi du Soleil (2005) and realising that the gender binary consisted of two wolves inside me, both of whom are ready to tank the French economy through hyperinflation, political centralisation of economic decisions, and shiny trinkets

We will never ever ever stop being hot and hilarious, and facists hate that. We will never stop standing up for every single person’s right to be free, safe, and comfortable in their body. Turn up for your trans kindred, if for no other reason than because we will turn up for you 🩷🤍🩵

The thing about trying to get everyone to hate trans people is trans people are extremely funny and therefore it is very hard to get people angry at them, and facists HATE being laughed at. Oxford will always be queer, no matter how many busloads of boomer freaks the uni invites onto our streets ✊

Very much enjoyed repping @musicheritageplace.bsky.social in Bratislava last week! Great to get down to the nitty gritty philosophical, technical, and technological challenges for a new musicological ecosystem last week with the EarlyMuse project 💪🇸🇰

Last bits of study for the Basilinda Consort’s first festival performance this Thursday! Come along to the Keble Early Music Festival at @kebleoxford.bsky.social Thursday night to hear some fabulous baroque music for upper voices, feat. new research into early modern exiled English convents 💒🎶👰

The temptation to use this for the AHRC project website

Musicology is when you have an extra spicy cigarette and listen to this on repeat for two hours

Gender is a spectrum between ski hats and shimmery eye shadow, kill the gender cop inside your head

MERRY GRADUATION TO ME AND ALSO THE RHUL SQUADRON, YOU CAN NOW ASK ME ABOUT NUNS AND THEIR MUSIC AND ALSO URBAN SPACE AND ALSO MUSIC IN LITURGY AND ALSO MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS AS LIFE WRITING AND ALSO BOOK HISTORY AND ALSO TRANSLATION PRACTICE FOR EARLY MODERN LITURGY IN EXILE AND ALSO drinking culture

Tf when the music director goes off on a twenty minute tangent about beans in cakes to select the Christmas queen on epiphany at an exiled English convent and you’re trying to work out how this is an answer to a question about ficta

A very cunty Christmas season to you all

That’s right baby, the family heirlooms with candle wax from New Jersey, 1977 are coming out 🎄🎄

You’ll regret it
