It's been three years since we published TWENTY-EIGHT: Stories from the Section 28 Generation. In that time if feels like queer rights have taken even more steps backward. But what's not waivered is the determination we have to make this a better world. We must #KeepFighting

Two weeks until this fun, queer, mysterious, happy, sad, slightly ridiculous book gets to meet the world. There's an equally fun, queer, slightly ridiculous launch event on February 11th, hosted by Tobie Donovan at the British Library. I'd love for you to join us? www.outsavvy.com/event/32470/...

The book cover contains purple and gold swirling clouds and three mysterious figures stood in the haze.

"If you’re somewhere in the middle, between griefs, between plans, between what was and what might be, consider this your gentle reminder: it’s okay to breathe." I wrote some thoughts on... well, I'm not sure really. Life? Beauty? Crumpets? news.kestr.al/breathe/

Breathe

A meditation on limbo, loss, and the strange joy of toasting crumpets at noon.

Proud to have contributed to this article written by @onqueerstreet.bsky.social about the new RSE guidance for UK schools and how it feels a lot like Section 28 all over again... magazine.gaytimes.com/uk-governmen...

Is the UK government’s new RSE guidance a return to Section 28?

If you think the de-listing scandal is limited to video games, think again. If they come for LGBTQIA+ content on one platform, they'll come for it all eventually. We must protect queer narratives and stories however they're told.
