I say yes when I can, but when even the thank-yous are automated and my name is misspelled, I can't help but question the system a little!

Mandatory 30-minute session of sitting down and staring at the sea every time I happen to be in Brighton. Highly recommend

The queer tour of St Fagans was my personal highlight of the MA Conference so far! Lovely to see a PERMANENT queer display in such a prominent spot in the gallery 🩷 #Museums2025

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

We're now at a total of a quarter of the longlisted authors choosing to withdraw from the Polari Prize this year.

"This book is surprisingly easy to read," I think to myself, lying on a sunbed at the beach, enjoying quite possibly the best reading conditions known to humankind

"Separate the art from the artist," they implore, but the artist tweets an average of 15 times a day about how much she delights in opposing trans rights
