This is a brilliant (open access!) article by @mauricejcasey.com; it doesn’t just recover a pioneering yet forgotten lesbian activist but uses her story to critique the blind spots of Irish queer historiography more broadly.

We are told to ignore the racism of Hegel, Kant, Locke etc because they were just "men of their time". So what do we do with the racism of current academics? Are they too just "men of their time"? What is this "time" that seems to make racists of men?

finished reading ‘call me by your name’. i haven’t seen the film since it was released but remember it leaving me with a deep sense of melancholy. i finished the book feeling a similar way, but it was the section of the book that isn’t in the film that got me to those feelings

reading classic british queer novels is wild because the protagonist will go “If only this nation allowed the natural love of those with their own sex to flourish, all would be will. Also. Unrelated. Every poor person is stupid and I hate them.”

Yvette Cooper confirming that NHS guidance is coming forth shortly banning trans people from single sex wards.
She waffles about ‘alternative provision’ but let’s be realistic here, this will massively massively disadvantage trans people’s care.
Fuck Andy Burnham
