It's so frustrating, I support BDS, but they are ignoring the actual actions taken on the ground and the comments from Palestinian members of Standing Together

Any thoughts and resources on dealing with emotionally difficult subject matter in research? The case study I am currently working on is especially emotionally gruelling and I am wondering if there is a way to make the experience less difficult. #AcademicSky #Skystorians #AcademicWriting

Amazing how such small numbers have been identified as the voice of the nation when, for comparison, 100,000 turned out for trans pride last month in London.

Can anyone recommend readings on *premodern* disability and sexuality, and/or disability and queerness? #disabilitystudies #history #queerhistory #lgbthistory #earlymodern

On this day in queer history: Aug 5, 1961

Milwaukee’s LGBTQ+ community, led by Josie Carter, fought back against homophobic attackers at Black Nite bar. One of the earliest queer uprisings in U.S. history—years before Stonewall. ✊🏳️‍🌈

Happy to share that I have received an Honorable Mention Innovative Scholarship prize for my 2024 @jewishstudies.bsky.social conference paper "Converso Families and Sodomy Trials in Early Modern Spain". As I am powering through the writing up of my thesis, it is so lovely to receive this boost!

The title, 'Chief Rabbi', is a fatuous title granted by the UK state to specific Jews that align with its political interests. He carries no authority beyond what was granted by the state, which means absolutely none at all. The same goes for his knighthood
