It’s here! The Papers of the @BibSocAmer special issue on #QueerBibliography I co-edited with @malcolmjnoble is now out! journals.uchicago.edu/toc/pbsa/2024/… Featuring Michael Bronski on DIY publishing after Stonewall, @ceyingst on pseudonymous publication and trans possibility 1/4

@dannybirchall exactly that

@pykelets that must also have been before Discourse acquired its twitter meaning...

Will never forget that time a report came out saying our institution was institutionally racist, our director called an emergency hybrid mtg (we thought redundancies) the online bit didn't work & then she cried in front of us all about how bad this was for her personally

@dannybirchall Internally, as well! I was only using the word *in the meeting*

@dannybirchall Will never forget being in a meeting at a large NGO c. 2012 and being aggressively questioned (by media/comms/engagement ppl!) about the meaning of the word 'discourse'. Apparently my campaign would never work if I insisted on using such theoretical, academic terms

@KatyaTaylor @GrantaBooks @ftweekend Clicked immediately for the Sendak quotation but this sounds wonderful in and of itself

@IAmDylanLewis Thinking of you (and all US friends) so much

Forty years ago, @gaystheword was reeling from raids by HM Customs & Excise. You might've heard of 'Operation Tiger', but probably know less about the books accused of being 'indecent or obscene'. Our new exhibition @SenateHouseLib @SASNews reveals more – london.ac.uk/about/services…

Pun in the title of this post all my own work btw

And, six months (and counting) on from our launch, we have a reflective round-up post on working together across disciplines and institutions on this project and exhibition. Includes some exciting news about Seized Books! The Musical (yes!) london.ac.uk/news-events/bl…

A couple of new blog posts up on the Seized Books! site. Maybe you remember some of our lesser-known and harder-to-research titles? We've spotlit five mystery books here london.ac.uk/news-events/bl…

@AdamSmy36314691 Ohhhh! It really does

@cstsher I'm working and listening again too 🧡

@pykelets Thank you so much for this, that’s my Friday morning quiet listening while I get on with work sorted! I adore anything Bagpuss / Oliver Postgate

I love this article about how Bagpuss was really a way to introduce a young audience to folk music and traditional songs. It shows how experimental and collaborative and (whisper it) socialist TV production could be. The music from Bagpuss is so special theguardian.com/music/2018/nov…

@djbduncan 😂I got that one (eventually) and then got stuck on its...warts? (middle left) (it's okay I've done all the anagrams now)
