15th May: get it in your diaries NOW girls because guess what's happening in Leeds that day...? 🫦 That's right, Alice and Fox are performing in another show! Pencil it in your calendars and await further details! 😘💋

On the subject of educational gay cabarets: do have a quick 5 min read of my @slsauk.bsky.social blog post with @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social on our recent outreach work using DRAG and THEATRE and FUN JOYFUL QUEER STUFF! www.slsa.ac.uk/post/law-is-...

Did you ever read @aliceaforethought.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social's article on how RuPaul's Drag Race is a legal system, and how drag can queer (or "drag up") legal institutions, aesthetics, and norms? It's a camp old time! Read below: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yesterday we ran a training session for the #lawsadrag critical queer legal clinic, with @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social shown here talking about working with drag artists, queer theory, and thinking about law in a more useful and drag-friendly way

Our colleagues over at @lawsadrag.bsky.social (@jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social) have penned a blog for @slsauk.bsky.social! '“Law is a cabaret, old chum” - How Law’s a Drag uses theatre for engagement and outreach, and how you could too'. Check it out 👇

Our latest blog post comes from @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social aka @aliceaforethought.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social: “Law is a cabaret, old chum” - How Law’s a Drag uses theatre for engagement and outreach, and how you could too www.slsa.ac.uk/post/law-is-...

Ending out my #SLSA2026 with @lawsadrag.bsky.social and the wonderful @aliceaforethought.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social presenting about what has been going on with the Law's A Drag project since they introduced it to SLSA in 2024. A fabulous end to a spectacular conference!

Immaculate karaoke vibes with the #slsa2026 singalong divas @kaycrosby.bsky.social @sandraduffy.bsky.social @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @feminomenologist.bsky.social @rinewithoutacat.bsky.social

James and Rosie presenting.

It was a huge (and unexpected) privilege to be asked to step in and join the plenary on Protest and Progress. There's so much we as lawyers & academics can learn from drag artists by listening, cooperating, and supporting one another. Thanks everyone! @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @lawsadrag.bsky.social

Another episode of Drag Race UK tonight. And of course, there's more Dragula Titans this week too. I wonder if anyone has ever written about whether drag reality TV shows are miniature legal systems, and applied queer theory to RPDR? HMMMMM?!?? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Always read @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social, it is the Law (literally).

Dr Fox Populi @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and Alice STUN in this exclusive interview

If you're looking for a fun, easy, engaging, queer read this Sunday, have a look at the article @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and I wrote for Law and Humantities on Drag Race and the law! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 🌈🎓

Planning ahead to see which conferences / events would be cool to go to - there's events on legal design, the Gikii conference and an event in inclusive legal education, which I all love. All are taking place on the same day in September.

This was such a fun & amazing event! We developed some clear principles for working fairly with drag artists in legal research projects. We also demonstrated how effective forum theatre is as a legal research method! Watch this space for future publications and more... 💋 @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social

Can't go to a bloody drag show with intellectual property coming up, but otherwise @thekatebutch.bsky.social was SENSATIONAL, go see her show (in Milton Keynes or otherwise) @drjoshdoeslaw.bsky.social @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @whiterxbbit.bsky.social @lawsadrag.bsky.social

Want to contact your MP about the Supreme Court ruling? @transsolidarity.bsky.social has created an MP letter template to help get you started docs.google.com/document/d/1... 🙂💪

Here is an excellent letter template for contacting your MP. Reach out, edit it to make it personal, and ask for a meeting in person!

Really enjoyed hearing about the dialogic process of collaboration b/w Travis De Vries & @drmarieip.bsky.social (Law, Literature & Humanities stream) - lots of inspiration for future art/law research! Thanks to @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social for convening #slsa2025

@whatthetrans.com Leeds, Saturday. There’s one tomorrow at 5pm as well, same location, but that seems less well-organised (and an odd time for a bank holiday). This follows the regular Palestine protest on Saturdays

15 minutes each is NOT ENOUGH TIME to talk about queer legal dystopias/utopias but what a great panel! #SLSA2025 thanks for having us @drmitchtravis.bsky.social @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @whiterxbbit.bsky.social @florarenz.bsky.social

@drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and I had a scrumptious time talking at @nulawandsociety.bsky.social about @lawsadrag.bsky.social - drag, law, research, queer stuff, and future projects. And there's a really cute bar nearby too for afterwards!

Drag Artists! "Law's a Drag" needs YOU! Law's a Drag is a network of drag artists, lawyers, and academics working to find out more about how drag artists experience law and injustice: including contract or employment disputes, copyright confusion, discrimination, and more besides!

and do remember to ask us about this event on 4th April! we're remunerating drag artists for their time and experience, and are currently recruiting for both drag and academic attendees, so get in touch! also please share and spread the good word!

Just another plug for our article! "The Ru of Law: how legal systems, principles, and aesthetics are queered and ‘dragged up’ in RuPaul’s Drag Race." Treat yourself. Go on. You deserve it xx @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social @lawsadrag.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
