Having the conference in a heritage venue gave it so much character! Kudos to all the staff at St Fagans for the extra logistical effort required to pull this off!

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Why are you not still living in the place where you went to primary school? Perhaps because you wanted to find opportunities that suited you and people who were interested in the things you are interested in, rather the strangers you happened to be plonked down next to early on?

I have a photo album on my phone dedicated to museum toilets. Classy, I know. On average I visit 50 museums a year and, as a genderqueer person, I prefer an all-gender toilet.

I’m reminded of a recent Judith Butler interview in which they pointed out that the history of feminism is characterised by resisting definitions of what a woman is or can be. The idea that my gametes (good lord) are what make me a woman feels as offensive as any other limitation i can imagine.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

How is your museum honoring
#TDOR
? This Trans Day of Remembrance I'm thinking of Jono Vaughan's work. This is 'Brandy Martell, 400 block of 13th Street near Franklin Street, Oakland, CA' from Project 42. Each work in her series is named for a murdered trans person and the place they were killed.

Museums are houses of things. But each object contains the memories and lifetimes of the people who made, used and cared for them—sometimes over generations—and there are moments when we see them resurface in ways we could never anticipate. 🧵
