The selby coalfield complex was the largest and most advanced deep mining project at the time encompassing of five different pits ( Wistow, Ricall, Stillingfleet, North Selby and Whitemoor) throughout the area. Being from a former coal mining community has shaped my politics and life in many ways.

Before undertaking my PhD on women and the AIDS crisis, looking at the role of activism and care I focused on women in the miners strike. This was research for my MA diss in international political economy at the university of Sheffield. I mostly grew up in villages near Selby, North Yorkshire.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

I just wanted to say, as I know terfs want to speak on behalf of me as a cis & queer woman but my life has been made fuller, richer/ better for trans people. I am glad to have met trans people, expanded my narrow world view & I will always fight for esp trans women to be in my community & spaces

Unfortunately for me it took leaving my village, going to university ( which also comes with a lot of class feelings) to find my queer community. It’s a shame I had to leave those spaces to find safety & community but my life has improved infinitely since doing so. I love my queer friends

I grew up queer in a small rural village in North Yorkshire. My past research has always tried to navigate the complexities of growing up surrounded by homophobia, without out queer & trans ppl or community. But also not wanting to homogenise the idea of what our communities must inherently be like

It’s really disappointing how many academic or even supposedly radical spaces have completely removed online access for events and only seem to host them in London or other major cities. Did we learn nothing about accessibility from the pandemic?
