Had to wait a while to get an invite link to join, but it was worth it in the end! Definitely been one of the nicer communities I've seen in a while. 🎉
Bluesky visual. It says "Celebrating 10 million users" with a party popper emoji next to it and number 2,819,406 underneath. Bottom left has my name and handle, and bottom right says I joined 30th December 2023.

Presenting my dissertation work at the 2nd Trans Studies conference tomorrow, 9.30am cdt/3.30pm bst! While I'd love to be in Illinois in person I'm very grateful for the opportunity to present my work remotely and see such the range of research being shown. Hope others attending have a great time! 🎉
Screenshot of the talk from the 2nd Trans Studies schedule on the Ex Ordo app. It's titled "Naivety, Bad Influences and Legitimate Voices - An Analysis of Autism and Queerness in the UK", dates the presentation "Thursday 5th September, 9.30 to 10.45", says it can be found in room Tech L211 and shows the relevant files at the bottom.

Amazing time at Lesbian Lives Conference 2024 this weekend!Presented my diss for the first time, spoke to lots of lovely people, and learnt about the incredible work other presenters are doing. Would love to go again! 🏳️‍🌈📚
(Photo because I was way too excited to see my project in a printed programme.)

Started playing Chants of Sennaar last night and I'm already in love with it. Linguistics *and* puzzles in one game?! I've been taking notes as I play to figure out the sentence structures of the languages, and from the reviews I'm very excited to figure them all out!
A photo of a notebook with a pen in the centre. The pages are full of phrases and sentences taken from the game along with their English translations, some more complete than others. A screenshot from the game Chants of Sennaar. It shows a notebook with illustrations matched with the correct symbols, with a list of the different symbols in the language to the right.
