    Passed my viva with minor corrections today 💪🏼 I had decided this was going to be the day I brought Batman & Bruce Wayne together :P So I’m gonna close my academic-only Twitter & unify my presence under this account. Here’s why it's important to me to be both people at once.

    Every now and again someone I know in real life says 'oh yeah I saw that on your Twitter' and I experience anew the horrifying realisation that it isn't just the internet people who live in my phone who have witnessed my fifteen-month-long lockdown-induced disintegration.

    🥺🥺🥺🥺 super emosh about people’s reactions to my performance at ’s fundraiser. But the best review ever has to be: “I was talking to a friend for a sec and then you lost your clothes.” Story of my life.

    My friend Marine & I are so obsessed with that we both wrote papers about it. Now we even made a pole choreo to “Rest in Peace” - Spike’s song from “Once More With Feeling,” the musical episode - in a very sweaty half hour. So here’s some Buffy spam 🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♀️

    My own review of here. TL; DR: too much distancing from pole's stripping roots, and a questionable teaching approach:

    Wow. This story by , & confirms what so many pole dancers already saw in : that the techniques used by S Factor seemed trauma-inducing and 'culty' - not what we'd teach in a pole class

    I'm going to try this again b/c the last time I tried to write about the consequences of having PTSD due to sexual and relationship violence, and the ways that intersects with academia, I experienced some f***ing PTSD and couldn't go on. Thread: 1/

    What in the hell

    The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

    Just withdrew my first TikTok creator fund balance - £11.22 in 2 months 🙃 don’t get me wrong, I am SO happy that platforms somehow manage to pay creators, but considering one of my vids is at 4.5M views and one at 1.2M… it’s not a lot per view 😅

    Thread. I decline the majority of media requests as they are often unethical and erode the work done over decades. If you are a journalist and you interview 'feminist' campaign groups against lap dancing clubs please do the following 1/7

    The anxiety of waking up after dreaming that my first, Black Metal fan boyfriend had tattooed a giant drawing of Mayhem (the band) on my chest consensually. Why.
