It’s out and I’m so proud of this! Cleide Lanzetta & I translated #everyversionofyou by @gracechanwrites.bsky.social into Italian for Edizioni SuiGeneris. This novel is a captivating dystopian SCI-FI that will draw you into a moral conundrum, but will also make you imagine & dream new possibilities!

Bisexuals! Get visible! It’s bisexual visibility day!

Happy bisexual visibility day to everyone attracted to multiple genders.

We think you're amazing, even if you can’t sit on a chair properly.

Also, I get to do #conversationanalysis on conversations that are vital and make actual difference in people’s everyday choices and lives. I’m a very grateful me today! #emca

What an immense privilege (& responsibility) it is to record people’s words, listen to them and give them, hopefully, a voice in research!
I feel so lucky: doing Moving Social Work research is an incredible honor, meeting the people I meet is enriching beyond any job title one could give to this.

Excited to share the first post of a takeover from @queercircle.bsky.social on the concept of 'queer space' as a site of health creation. Thanks to Research and Health Lead Frances Williams for setting the scene.

I just passed through Charing X on my way up North and my heart truly broke. I want to send everyone here who might feel unsafe, sad, angry, lonely, etc. a big hug & say that there are places/people that prove that community exist in the face of any flag waving otherwise in our faces! Solidarity!🫂❤️

Eating together: a family at dinner, a nurse helping a patient swallow, a teacher supervising children, a guest appreciating a high-end tasting menu...

It's all surrounded by, and regulated by, talk.
