PhD researcher, writer, cool dyke. Clumsy but resilient. Currently looking at the links between health and travel in Anne Lister’s diaries and letters. she/they
This is how I feel when I post on Close Friends on insta
"Dear Friends, too busy to write a letter, so I am sending a postcard to a few of my friends to let them know they are not forgotten. W R Bradlaugh unites in Christian love to all."
W.R. Bradlaugh knew: connection doesn’t need to be complicated.
When the group chat’s too much, go Bradlaugh style.

I am terrible at promoting my own stuff, but I was recently on a very cool podcast with absolute delights @krheyam.bsky.social and Ann of @vulgarhistory.bsky.social talking all things Anne Lister! It really does get rather vulgar...

We're joined by returning guest @krheyam.bsky.social and new guest Sarah Wingrove to dish all about Anne Lister’s wild life and legacy! pod.link/1489560920/e...

Still on my way back from a cold, dark and wet Halifax visit (fortunately the archives were warm, light and dry)

I enjoyed collaging at the queer studies symposium in Sussex :) I am pleased with my collage personally and excited to display it in our flat to unnerve visitors
