Worth a read. In my book Queer Roma, I also talk about an earlier “anti-vagrancy” law from the 1920s, modelled after similar laws across Europe
65 years ago, Czechoslovakia banned life on the road: Did the communists destroy Roma culture and engineer their social exclusion?

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.

I once dreamed of being a professor and reading and writing and having big thoughts. I have instead become an email machine.

The enduring appeal of a century-old German film about queer love
A silent German film from 1918 was one of cinema’s first dramatic presentations of queer love. Over a century later, and the story of love in a hostile social environment still resounds.

Only 300 new doctoral students per year in all the Arts and Humanities disciplines in a country of 67 million and over 160 universities. The UK no longer pretends to expertise in these disciplines
A crying shame.
