For those skeptical about joining the ‘other site’ I’ve amassed the same amount of followers I have on here in less than 24 hours - and discovered so many academics whose work I was not familiar with prior. It feels like ye good olde days! 🦋

The fourth plinth artwork by Teresa Margolles is a powerful celebration of trans life – and an act of defiance

This cube of 726 faces is a living memorial and a platform for trans visibility, advocacy and international solidarity.

An honour to meet Saito-san, originator of Memorial Quilt Japan, in Kyoto today. The project is dedicated to those impacted by HIV/AIDS and it was very emotional hearing stories about the lives it memorialises. Big thanks to @DaiwaFoundation for making the partnership possible.

Unsure how @UKRI_News can uphold their principle of research “by everyone, for everyone” when review college members undermine EDI policy and exclude diverse researchers from their “inclusive”system. We have been waiting for a response to our complaint since July. @JaiGupte 2/2

Despite two top reviews, this @ahrcpress grant was rejected. One reviewer claimed it had no “relevance to LGB” and proved a “psychological risk” to children because it includes queer/trans people, and that there is “insufficient evidence” that LGBTQ+ people face hostility. 1/2
Just submitted a big grant. Like brilliant colleagues who were rejected, I probably won’t get it. This took 3 years of research and planning with 2 partners. Huge amounts of time, energy and input from countless people. The system is broken. At least there’s Prosecco. 🥂🌼
