I am raising money for getting medical supplies for Ukrainian hospitals. The funds will go to a local charity Vira v Sebe and contribute toward buying medicines and bandaging supplies. Click to Donate: gf.me/u/2452rh #HelpUkraine #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine

Today in Russia it’s illegal to invite people to join anti-war protests, so people invite each other “for a walk in the city centre”. Hence, Leeds folks, the weather’s gonna be great tomorrow. Come for a walk! Briggate, 1pm #StopPutinNOW #StopWar
Come and raise your voice against the war in Ukraine!
6 March, 1pm, Briggate, #Leeds

Cancellation or not, we are still incredibly grateful to everyone who sent us their abstracts or considered coming to the meeting, all our confirmed speakers and our keynote speaker @JonTophamHPS and colleagues from @BSHSNews and @hpsleeds
Still reading documents from the Dublin Sandals. 1884. Trial of J. E. French. George Taylor, a male sex worker, is examined by prosecution:
“When did you commit your life of infamy? About 7 years ago.
And you are proud of it? Not particularly.”
I want to organize more conferences just to be able to send people acceptance letters! It felt so good! Currently sorting through the replies from the @PgBshs speakers. Can’t wait to hear them present. Keep an eye on the conference twitter for the programme in a few weeks
The joys of scholarship: found out today that there’s a connection between psychiatry becoming part of the med curriculum in the UK and a major sex scandal (the Dublin Castle Scandal) in 1880s. Then I spent hours reading about the gay scene in 19C Dublin images.app.goo.gl/WKSxXudHdm…
On my way to Moscow now and vacillating between hope and terror about what country I’ll return to next week. Please, vote. Please, vote well and get the Tories out. For the NHS, fair pay and saving the climate.
