Yesterday morning I woke up from a being chased dream where the only escape was on the ferry to "dissertation island" (no joke) but I couldn't get on the ferry... In unrelated news, today I submitted my PhD thesis

Excitedly tucking into my brilliant friend @contentking.bsky.social 's new book, as should anyone else who's ever wondered why women might join the far right 🤔🩷💊 Out today!

A white hand holds a book with a pink cover up in front of the storefront for Housmans bookshop. The book is called Pink-pilled: women and the far right and is by Lois Shearing. The cover art is of an extended tongue which a pink pill on it

Trippy feeling finding yourself in the source you're analysing...

Screenshot of text that says "En 2023, seule une recherche scientifique a porté sur les archives administratives de l’Ofpra, également sources importantes pour l’histoire de l’asile. Le sujet était : « La bisexualité et l’asile au Royaume-Uni et en France depuis 1997 »."

Looks like sexualities book aesthetics go in 25 year cycles

Two books next to each other on a wooden desk
On the left is Deadly and Slick by Sita Balani and on the right is The Bisexual Imaginary edited by Bi Academic Interventions
Both books have a black background with flowy white text and sans serif red text
