I am reading about memory studies, and I am shocked by how they announce a turn every two pages.

🧵You know what I would love love loveeeeee. Mainstream media platforming migrants. I’ve written plenty about it and yet all the articles going around are written by British folk? Part of the problem with the discourse is lack of representation on mainstream media? Who would have thought lol

In this article, we reflect on Lohana Berkin's theories of the body, an Argentine travesti activist who shaped trans activism and theory in Latin America. This article is an invitation to everyone who doesn't know her work to engage with it.

Very interesting paper by Fraccaroli & Simonetto (@psimonetto.bsky.social) which explores LGBTQ + archival practices in Latin America and highlights that archives share but also contest the meaning and materiality of memory of how LGBTQ+ people are remembered:

I am in Argentina doing fieldwork for my new research project. Here you can see the laboratory of the world to come: fascism. It's extremely scary; I've never seen anything like this before. It is not an exaggeration to say that many people working in public institutions live with fear.

I'm not sure if it's an English thing, but why do students write with extremely long paragraphs? I read essays with paragraphs that exceed a page, making it very difficult to follow their ideas. Do they teach this in A levels?

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.
