Brilliant to see the @rafmuseum.bsky.social art commission publicly opened. The Museum worked with David, since January 2025 to create an art work to mark the 25th anniversary of the UK armed forces 'gay ban' being lifted.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.
