#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 5 (1994) Sandi Toksvig is the definition of cosy TV & Radio. After coming out, not just as a lesbian AND a Mum, she was dropped by charities Save the Children and the Children's Society as a host for an event. The Lesbian Avengers protested #OTD & the charities apologised .

And once again I find myself contemplating doing a PhD. Is it because autumn? Is it a desire for knowledge and learning and books? Is there a deeply masochistic streak in me that needs curbing?

Apparently it's surprising to my colleagues that I have a blanket "no, I'm not going to use AI" approach. Do they not know me at all?

#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 4 (1913) E.M. Forster finishes his manuscript for Maurice. Due to anti-homosexual legislation, it won't be published until 1971. I'll let you work out the time difference. Maurice offers something very rare for queer fiction at this time: an optimistic outlook.

#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 3 (2012) "I want to be true to myself. I want to try to be the best role I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and professional career." - Orlando Cruz, who came out #OTD, becoming the 1st boxer to come out while competing. A huge milestone for boxing.

Audio on vintage iPods, ancient conservation freezers, dodgy lighting and 'make do and mend' exhibitions take me right back to my days working in museums, so it was interesting to read how the Museum of Vancouver's Austerity Tours are attempting to challenge the status quo of arts + culture funding.

From ailing cooling systems to toxic chemicals, a museum tour shines a light on the effects of austerity

To drive home the impact of stagnant support for arts and culture, the Museum of Vancouver is offering “austerity tours” of its aging campus

I had such a blast last night at Chelmsford's Waterstones. The crowd were great at Peter was a great interviewer:). Next stop on the Hotties Tour is Bristol, then Belfast and Cork.

#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 2 (1985) Today we are remembering Rock Hudson, whose death #OTD from AIDS related complications, spurred Elizabeth Taylor to raise millions for HIV/AIDS research. Rock Hudson was a Hollywood heartthrob, starring in romcoms opposite Doris Day.

#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 1 (1994) History is a powerful tool. It connects us with those who came before us and helps us create the world we need to see. Educator Rodney Wilson starts the 1st LGBTQ+ History month #OTD. Oct was chosen in the USA to commemorate gay rights marches and coming out day.

Don't get me wrong, the book stuff is incredible. But I'm balancing it with a stressful full time job, other responsibilities and generally trying to live and keep afloat. The sheer bone deep exhaustion of trying to keep everything spinning has just hit a bit harder than usual this evening.

#TodayInQueerHistory Sept 30 (1897) Charlotte Wolff (born #OTD) was a physician, psychotherapist & sexologist. Her work on lesbianism (Love Between Women, 1971) and bisexuality (Bisexuality, 1977) was groundbreaking at the time. She also wrote novels & a biography of Magnus Hirschfeld.

Hi Huw, just the one Shoulder 😂. I guess writing about bodies is a bit nominative determinism 😂😂. Have you come across Cullen Wade? They write about slashers set in swimming pools and, to me, that's PERFECT.

#TodayInQueerHistory Sept 28 (1993) Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City premieres on Channel 4 in the UK, introducing Barbary Lane to a new generation. A critic in 2005 said it was "a time capsule that treats its characters with humor, respect [...]would be politically impossible there today."
