One bit of advice for new #PhDStudents... Remember the PhD isn't your whole life - even if you are led to believe that by faculty. Your mental and physical health always comes first. You are allowed to enjoy the next few years of your life, your life doesn't get put on hold by studying.

Really great event earlier this week by Collective Encounters about what health and arts could look like if disabled expertise was centered. I learnt so much, and will definitely be talking crip time theory with my supervisor!

Super interesting evening at the Queer Data Showcase! Really cool to hear people talk about data in ways that break that traditional-acadmia-research box, despite being very much an in-the-box guy myself 😂

For clarity: I'm not looking at trying to replace trans healthcare! Trans healthcare is great! But I know its not always accessible or even wanted by some TNB people, so my aim is to see what works (and what doesn't) if you're on a wait list, struggling to access, or just not interested.

Sio Wynne (he/they) @siowynne.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I'm recruiting! Super excited to talk to people about the little ways they cope with dysphoria, feel free to email or DM with questions 😀

Hi, I'm the researcher. I'm absolutely not trying to dispute the need for healthcare! The project is focusing on additions, not alternatives - what works and what doesnt for people waiting, unable, or not interested in accessing healthcare. Happy to chat further over email if anyone has concerns.

A researcher is looking for participants to take part in research about improving access to healthcare for LGBTQ+ people living with chronic illness. Please see the poster for more information. If you would like to participate, please email him directly 17002702@hope.ac.uk #LGBTQResearch

Text Reads: I am seeking participants for research exploring ways to improve access to healthcare for LGBTQ+ people living with chronic illness in England.
I am looking to speak to people who: are 18+ and live in England; identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, or/and as part of the LGBTQ+ community; consider yourself to live with one or more chronic illness.
What is involved? Taking part involves two online conversations (interviews) and a creative task. Your participation in the project can be spread over several weeks.
Who is carrying out the research? I am a PhD student based at Liverpool Hope University. I am trans and bisexual and I live with multiple chronic illnesses.
Interested? Please visit https://bit.ly/4hNcIx4 or email Vickery Stamp (he/him or they/them) at 17002702@hope.ac.uk for more information or to express interest

Day 203 - lil bit of spss this weekend cos I'm stressed about how long its taking, made up for it by impulse buying some plants for these pots we inherited. Hoping they'll be a bit harder to kill than houseplants 🤞

Three weather stone outdoor plant pots potted with three different plants; one a long stem with purple flowers, one a selection of pink and yellow flowers, and one with big white leaves.

Despite talking about a #queer subject in queer spaces, I still find myself trying to fit a normative way of presenting. Using academic speak, trying not to rabbit hole, working out when I can swear. I am a storyteller in many ways, and this is no exception. #AutRes autisticltd.co.uk/2025/08/22/e...
