it's coming out day
coming out (in the sense of coming out to the people already around you) can be wonderful, and I am glad for anyone who chooses (cause it is 100% not a necessary part of queerness) but making a day out of what amounts to being safe enough to be open about your queer identity to those around you centers the most privileged of us.
I read a different take on coming out a while back, which reframed it as self acceptance and joining the queer community. I like that a lot better
Got cited by not myself! Interesting data on student opinions about teaching English online: http://www.riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jp3/article/view/13421

Dreaming of rogue syndicates of academics mimeographing zines in a forest as a fuck you to established academic journals.

Before you put a dozen emojies between words, imagine how hearing the below text could become tiring, even exhausting, and a cognitive drain on screen reader users.

In case anyone is local to the South of England, and feels like an interesting outing... I'm playing my cello at a poet's book launch at the end of September. It would be a lovely surprise to meet some of the people I talk to here IRL ! :)

climate action, positive
I just had my first meeting with the folx at 350Eigo, and it was really good and I have some solid actions that I can get on with.
Climate pol, volunteering, personal
I have a meeting tomorrow to discuss volunteering for 350org . Am tired of fretting and feeling out of control. Hopefully doing something will lead to others doing something will lead to... and if it doesn't, well, I can hope that there's some impact on the mess that's been made of the planet.
My 10 year old wants to volunteer, too!

Note to self: Working on duoethnographies means working with other people's sense of time. This can be amazing or amazingly frustrating.
