Recording the hidden River Fleet, one of London’s 20 ghost rivers, flowing beneath streets built over it. Lowering my recorder into a drain, the river suddenly roared to life, a reminder that nature persists, even when we've buried it beneath concrete. Listening closely to hear what it has to say.

Text reads: The Log Books by Tash Walker & Adam Zmith. Part history, part memoir - mixing call logs, interviews, and the authors’ own experiences growing up in Section 28. There’s a real focus on education and information, and feels a little naive at times, but a great starting point for anyone interested in learning about
queer social history in the UK from the past few decades.

I wish he had been there. I went for John but then Adam talked about what he called 'violence of silence' of Section 28. I hadn't really thought about how it affected me, a queer teen during the AIDS crisis with no support from teachers etc. Always felt less impacted than older folks. But I was.

Finally got a copy of The Log Books and got it signed by Tash and Adam! Great to see Tash again and finally meet Adam. John's ears would be burning wherever he is, cos he was mentioned quite a few times. Reading his parts I got quite tearful but made it through the talk OK!

#TheLogBooks tour! Lovely evening in Leeds last night at @thebookishtype.bsky.social with Kit Heyam - so many interesting and heartwarming reflections, including one from someone who used to volunteer on Switchboards 🧡

Three people stood infront of The Bookish Type sign in the bookshop with copies of The Log Books book. The person on the left is wearing a yellow fleece, Adam Zmith, the person in the middle has blue round glasses on Kit Heyam, and the person on the right is wearing a denim jacket, Tash Walker.
