Okay this right here is a big fucking problem I have with how many mastodonians engage with the critiques of mastodon by scholars of color and users of color:

The argument that history doesn't matter because we have an influx of users is unconvincing to me for a variety of reasons, which I'll enumerate below.

Delighted to see this wonderful issue on Queer Time and Contemporary German Cinema out in the Germanic Review, thanks to @kyfrack and @ervinmalakaj.

The pieces by the other contributors are fabulous: Ervin, Simone Pfleger, Heidi Schlipphacke & Thomas Love 🥳🌈

Mine looks at the film Futur Drei by Jünglinge Film, the queer present and how we see Germany's clubs. It's also open access!

Today is the day in a Yorkshireperson's year when he asks himself why bother baking it if it tastes so good out of the pan? #BonfireNight #Yorkshire #Parkin #Baking

It's that time of year, folks, when I get treated to wholesome Fife sunsets on the way home 😊

Hi everyone! 👋 Will give Mastodon a go - follow me for posts about my work in queer and trans studies, Berlin's techno scene, and generally enthusing about stuff I like and posting pretty stuff from Scotland. And I don't promise not to rant about UK, US and German politics here or there while I'm at it...
