a woman says yeah so i died of embarrasment ALT: a woman says yeah so i died of embarrasment

When you realise there's a typo in your email signature and you've been sending out emails all morning that imply you've made up the neo-pronoun 'shey'

I have been saying this for years. The qualitative evidence has long pointed towards trans women and AMAB non-binary people coming out later in life - on average - than other trans people.

Every bit of moral panic about trans boys coming out young also betrays a deep transmisogyny.

35. Historical research can be triggering/traumatic (including looking at material in the archives) but there is not enough discussion about this or how researchers can deal with this aspect of the work

One thing that's striking about Ozzy Osborne's death is how difficult it is to imagine the music industry producing another figure like him. The barriers to working class people are so great, and there's a related attitude to culture that is neutered as a result.

If you see this I implore you to post a picture from your device without comment.

IT'S LIVE! 🌈 I'm so proud of this piece I wrote for the Spring '25 volume of Different Visions, and am honored to be published alongside other amazing medievalists ✨ I'm also a little scared because it's the most personal thing I've ever published 😳 differentvisions.org/rainbow-medi...

This is cringe as fuck, but I was watching Fellowship of the Ring with my partner and realised during the Ford scene that I wanted to be Arwen, that I was Arwen, and that it was breaking my heart pretending that I wasn't Arwen. I'd known (sortof) for years, but that was when I *knew*

Haha! Quite right, of course.

Absolutely in love with my local for putting on a Totoraiser double bill

And maybe at Old Bar next year @deaconjh.bsky.social?

One of my favourite surprises from #IMC2025 was picking up these fantastic medieval animal themed #D&D modules from the fabulous Anachronalia (who I don't think is here). I look forward to spreading the joy of medieval nonsense to some Edinburgh rpgers soon.

Honestly devastated I missed this

Yeah it's gotta be worth a try

Well fuck me, I guess!

I just got a job (yay! Woo!) and in the acceptance phonecall my new manager asked me if I was 'ok with the salary' having previously said 'i guess you'll want to talk about the salary'. Was I supposed to haggle? Is that a thing?

Woken up completely exhausted from #IMC2025. Time for some engineering disaster podcasts and sugary tea.

If you take heroin your GP will help you with blood tests. But if you follow international healthcare protocols and take eg puberty blockers NHS England has told your GP not to help you monitor hormone levels with blood tests. Gender affirming care is, apparently, worse than heroin.

I feel like Audrey Hepburn, too many "wonderfuls"

Had an amazing #IMC2025, it was wonderful to get back in touch with old friends, meet new ones, and listen to some fantastic papers. Wonderful return after six years away

Well that's #IMC2025 done. A big thank you to @imc-leeds.bsky.social and Leeds staff for another great conference. It felt more important than ever to meet up and be inspired by all the interesting things colleagues are doing.

Thanks! I will go on a quest to search for them

This green near the School of English used to be chock full of bunnies, I wonder why they've left/where they've gone. Any ideas @leedsims.bsky.social #IMC2025?

Yes, I think my OU students have got a much better handle on it, but then again I suppose they're not trying to flog wine to misty-eyed colonialists

Fascinating (/horrifying) colonial memory in one of the Australian wines in our IMC apartment

Oh super, I remember some of those from the Tony Hunt editions (farcy, mainly, I think. They're usually farcy) but I've never looked at the manuscripts.

Oh cool! What are you working on?

Well, that went very well! My thanks for a lovely session and some fascinating papers and questions to @medica.bsky.social and the audience. So many brilliant overlaps between papers to explore

@midagesmodgames.bsky.social in war "it's fun to get really big stuff", Katie Vernon. Nuff said!

Aces, see you there
