Busy day tomorrow. I’m giving a talk at British Academy in the afternoon, then a drinks reception, & then I’m racing back home from London to Bristol to be (hopefully!) just in time for a Vox.com podcast interview at 9.30pm. Trying to get some rest tonight to recover from Welcome Week.

That’s it. It’s done. I’m out. I am gay, and there’s nobody important in my life any more who doesn’t know. Even though Bluesky is a wasteland, it is *such* a relief to be able to say it out loud! I AM A LESBIAN, and I’m happy.

Spent an eye-opening couple of weeks in the Fredric Wertham archives at the Library of Congress researching his Seduction of the Innocent attacks on comic books, and now I’m heading home. Thanks Washington DC; it’s been quite a trip

It’s that time of year again! The annual primary-school camping trip. One weekend, dozens of screaming 8 year olds, two bags of cocktails and eight bottles of wine. Wish us luck 🤞🏻

It’s conference organising time! One of my favourite jobs every year is putting all the brilliant proposals we get for our @tapra.bsky.social working group (Audience, Experience & Popular Practices) into panels. It’s a lot of writing on post-its & moving bits of paper around & spitballing themes 🥰
