Poster about phase 1 of the project Phase 1 - open now! Questionnaires Questionnaire link: bit.ly/BreadRosesDisability.

One of the publications of this project will be a Manifesto for Rest and Free Time from a disability politics perspective. You can join if you: self-identify as being disabled and/or chronically ill, learning disabled, neurodivergent, d/Deaf, having impairments, experiencing mental distress (or use other similar self-identification terms), and are over the age of 18 and live in the UK.

While preparing to edit the upcoming Lumpen 18 on queerness and class, I've been thinking about working class queer depictions in film and tv. Can you think of any other media on working class queer life? Bonus points if it's not US based or not focused on a romantic relationship.. 🩵🤍🩷

God's Own Country (2017)
Yorkshire farmer meets Romanian migrant. It doesn't start well.
Explores themes of queerness in rural areas, family, class and migration.

[Video For

My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)
South London in the Thatcher years. Punks & skins, racist violence, family tensions, hot sex, everyone has a secret..

What It Feels Like For A Girl (2025)
TV series based on Paris Lees' memoirs. Small town working class queer teen finds sex, drugs and queer kinship in the 2000s.

What Have I Done to Deserve This? (1984)
One of Almodóvar's lesser known films. Working class family and their neighbours just trying to get by. Domestic violence, care work, internalised classism, underage s3x work, drug dealing and a little magic.

A stylized, retro comic-style illustration shows a woman in a black trench coat, fishnet stockings, and high heels forcefully stepping on a uniformed police officer who is lying on the ground, shielding his head. The woman appears angry, with a clenched fist and stern expression. A speech bubble above her reads, “STICK YOUR NORDIC MODEL UP YOUR ASS!” The image has a bold, graphic, inked aesthetic with limited colors and strong contrast.

We don’t feel at home in those places. And we probably don’t want to. Our place is at that anti-fascist demo fighting against the TERFs, at the sw breakfast, trans mutual aid groups, sharing with and caring for our own communities, as we can’t really trust the State and the mainstream charities.

It’s not at the big Pride parades which have stripped any connection they had with the spirit of 1969 to offer a sanitised, corporation and straight friendly day out, where having money and looking nice is more important than if you got bullied at school or are routinely harassed by cops.

The Class Work Project @classworkproject.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Where can one exist as a working class queer? It’s definitely not in those all inclusive Gay™️ resort packages in Maspalomas, another case of mass tourism and gentrification which destroys housing prospects for the local population of Gran Canaria.
