I’d love a book deal if someone’s offering? That or a career as a porn star (I already have the moustache for it)

Queer historian with one foot dipped in the ‘tism

(they/he)
Pinned
When I tell people I study history, they often ask what that entails.

Today I studied some primary sources on the pogroms of the early 20th century, partly wrote a lit review for my dissertation on Bond villains then blasted ‘The Battle’ from Gladiator at full whack and danced in my kitchen.
Denis, I know you’re gonna be flooded with messages but I’ve literally just written a dissertation on James Bond Villains so if you need a writer, I’ve got some free time.

Happy to work on mates rates.

Look forward to hearing from you xoxox

I am officially an academic weapon! After one long slog, it’s finally done. My only regret is that the word limit was so low.

Fingers crossed I’ll have the opportunity to turn this into a full book one day. This is just the beginning!

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

If someone can explain the Supreme Court’s ruling without circling back to the implication that trans women are all sexual predators by default, I’ll eat my shoes

Cold and flu remedies are wild. Who killed Cascada? Is Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s club still in business or was it swallowed up in the ensuing scandal? So many questions

I say every regretful Tesla owner should deck out their cars with rainbow LGBTQ+ and trans pride decorations and messages. It won’t solve any issues, but it’ll be fun while the fascists take over.

The symbolism in this photo is insane and is only going to become more profound with time. The orange fascist at the front. The Botox’d to hell fascist at the back. God and State side by side. In the far right of frame (pun intended) THE FASCES! Fascism is so in this season. We’re fucked 🫠
