I was really excited to attend the Asexual Geographies panel at the @rgsibg.bsky.social earlier today organised by @rachelbayer.bsky.social and @joejukes.bsky.social 👏 Truly wonderful to hear from four researchers about their work on asexuality, even though I'm not a geographer! Lots to reflect on!

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.

Guess it's gonna be a productive day of watching the snow fall (and an unproductive day of not doing any work on my thesis 😅)

Just discovered the #ShowMeYourKnits tag, so here's the last thing I knitted - my version of the jumper David Rose wears in the Schitts Creek finale, cos I'm a nerd.
Photo of a white person with long brown hair wearing a black knitted jumper. The sleeves each have four stars on them in red, green, blue and white. The front of the jumper has the word love in a heart shape, in the colours of the rainbow.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
An autumnal view of a Japanese style garden at Winterbourne House and Gardens. In the background, a wooden bridge crosses over a river, and the reflection of the bridge and surrounding foliage can be seen in the water. Leaves on the tall trees are yellow and orange, contrasting with the greenery and pink flowers of the plants around the river.
