#britcult2025 on queering religion, menstruation and literary reception; on being haunted by the ghosts of our past and taking strength in community for what lies ahead of us; on reading reparatively and listening to each other - thank you so much to everyone for these past 2 days!

If you can, help finance the first internationalist queer pride Frankfurt. Many big prides have become commercial, capitalist events - may we never forget that the first pride was a riot!

Happy IDAHOBIT from my Team Bembel Town Roller Derby ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Conservative/right pressure in the US, UK and, let’s face it, also in Germany is threatening the trans/nonbinary community. That‘s why we say: Trans people belong in sports. And everywhere. On equal terms.

Never stop saying this out loud. Your silence at transphobic comments will not protect you.

Bye bye London, I love you with a quiet fierceness for providing theatre, queer books, chats with friends and (a small selection of) English foods that only taste nice here❣️

The Museum of Transology and @queerbritain.bsky.social are two fantastic LGBTQ spaces in London. The queer archive is alive and overflowing with love when we truly need it!

My grandmother loved her Schwibbogen of the Dresdner Frauenkirche with carol singers. It‘ll bring joy to our home from now on. Thanks, Oma. ♥

Had lovely conversations with queer indie publishers Querverlag and Ylva at the Frankfurt book fair, meanwhile bigger publishers like Penguin and Bloomsbury had closed off their stands to the public (?!) while the Irish were serving Guiness.

Took a cable car across the Rhein in Köln today - fun bonus: naked people swimming in the spa below us towards the end, Irish friend found this hilarious and thinks all Germans love being naked now.

Late to the party but this book is a beautiful, rigorously researched piece of poetry.

Post conference blues and on to organizing the next thing - a diversity in/through theatre workshop I’m really looking forwards to - but also trying to write the next chapter of the thesis. Send help. And more pastries.

Edinburgh is beautiful, medieval, exciting. Sad to have just missed the Fringe, but bagpipe performances made up for it.

#AudienceStudies panel on dis/comfort, having to perform one’s identity, and questions of power fittingly brought to you as a panopticon from the #TaPRA2024 stage.
