As seen on the BBC. 40% of football shirts end up in landfill. How can we change fan mono culture?

Am making new Femorabilia items for Euros 2025 in Switzerland. If you are a feminist maker wanting to collaborate on designs do get in touch. There will be plenty of In Sarina We Trust and recycled/ upcycled pieces. Wales and England fans, what do fashionistas want to wear to the footy?

Very happy with my first piece of AI history/ media on women’s football which has been a long time in the making. Out tomorrow for #IWD2025 based on independent research

I was inspired by meeting @bonitamersiades.bsky.social in 2023 to write my own book out in 2025. If you teach football studies Whatever it Takes should be on your curriculum. See How FIFA corruption actually works below… @fairplaybooks.bsky.social

There are really good reasons why female historians of women’s football use oral history for the players to tell their own stories. It’s co-creation. It’s collaborative. It’s feminist in methodology. More to come in 2025…
