BREAKING: Wikipedia workers in Britain are setting a global first by becoming the first group of workers at the online encyclopaedia to seek union recognition.

heaven for #histmed people is “securing access to the full records of the first 100 dialysis patients who went through the Life or Death Committee”. This is niche as hell and I don’t care because it’s also exciting as hell!

@drnikko.bsky.social and I are putting together a special issue proposal for Big Data and Society on "Trans Data"! If you're an #STS nerd, or a #transstudies nerd, or ideally both, do submit ideas if you have them - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The export control directive banning state of the art language models from Anthropic is only counterproductive to the US AI industry if you don’t view it as yet another act in the current production of AI safety theatrics.

Every social media post I make being angry about transphobia gets SO much more attention from cis people than ones celebrating phenomenal trans people - I know it's human nature, but I wish that ratio could even out. ILĀ is one of the most talented musicians I've ever worked with: www.hausofila.com

88 signatures so far - if you live in the UK PLEASE email your MP about adding their name - it will take you less than 5 minutes with the form below. Yes, even if your MP is a transphobe - it's good for them to know how many of their constituents disagree with them.

I have a piece in The Baffler today!

timely for this to be out this week: a longread from me about the history of trans healthcare in the UK i.e. why we are in the mess we are in featuring some historical enemies – Richard von Krafft-Ebing, John Randell – and an amazing line about gender doctors from @notrightruth.bsky.social

I feel this in the marrow of my bones. The future of a university should be shaped by leaders whose own careers depend materially on the future they are shaping.
