Jo Brydon-Dickenson

Tomorrow, I will be speaking about trans history and the Edwardian folk song revival at Cecil Sharp House as part of the Queer Folk Festival. Apparently there are still some tickets available for anyone who wants to hear more!

Poster for the Queer Folk Festival on the 7th June at Cecil Sharp House in Camden. Listed acts are Re:Vulva, Maddie Morris, The Pegwells, and Queer Ceilidh Dance Party. There will also be an open folk session and a talk by Jo Brydon-Dickenson. Tickets available at efdss.org

Could not be more excited for this. Really looking forward to sharing some of my research in a fun and friendly environment. No prior knowledge needed if you want to come and learn about trans history and the Edwardian folk song revival. Tickets available from @efdss.bsky.social

Thank you for putting this together. Was a great way to get quickly set up here!

It's 650 now. And darn right we have.

Keep sharing and signing!

STATEMENT FROM ENGLISH FOLK DANCE AND SONG SOCIETY

This sounds absolutely fascinating!

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media.

2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media.

3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media.

4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Really excited to have the opportunity to talk about my research into trans life in the Edwardian folk revival at the home of English folk music this summer. Come along if you like your music festivals to have a history lecture in the middle! (Also, the rest of the lineup looks just incredible!)

Happy Burns Night to all. Here's a little verse of a song the wisdom of which the world could really use right now.

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at Le Monde Diplomatique in France.
I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.

What is one to conclude from the contrast between the AHA’s position on Ukraine and its position on Gaza other than it believes some people’s histories are worth more than others?

'Every hour filled with bloodshed': Israeli strikes rain down on Gaza following truce deal Since the ceasefire announcement, Israeli forces have killed over 70 Palestinians, including children, and wounded more than 230 others

YouTube video by Julia Serano Debunking Myths About Trans People & Restrooms (& other “sexual predator” tropes)

today the House passed a Trans Sports ban, and they will likely forward a federal Trans Bathroom Ban soon. my latest essay is a deep-dive into research studies that debunk such such legislation & chronicle the long history of smearing marginalized groups as "sexual predators":
