A brilliant analysis of inclusive language in public health messaging by @SarahGraham7. Thank you for including my thoughts and highlighting that, whilst sometimes imperfect, inclusive terminology enhances access to healthcare for everyone. inews.co.uk/opinion/there-…
An entertaining thread for the multi-modal discourse analysts among us!
Despite spending the past almost 10 years exploring misinformation in online wellness cultures, nothing quite prepared me for how quickly influencers turned from ‘sugar free recipe inspo’ to outright covid denialism…

I cannot believe I’m part of the spring campaign for a major fitness brand (Sweaty Betty) - it still feels like a dream come true. Given that South Asian women are still the least physically active demographic in the UK the importance of this representation is never lost on me ❤️
Folks, if you want to justify your transphobia as a personal belief, that’s your right. But using botany to do it, when plants can be either sex, both sexes and even swap between them at will, is a really poor example to pick. Yours, A botanist
My reflections on how those small nudges on BeReal direct us towards displaying happiness and invoke a conflation of authenticity with postfeminist feeling rules @FlowTV flowjournal.org/2023/02/smile-…
There is a certain trend in identity politics that seems more concerned with protecting intellectual property rights than, say, marginalised communities articulating shared interests and organising together in the pursuit of justice. And honestly, it belongs in the bin.
currently in a mandatory wellbeing session (it’s 4am here but no exceptions!) and just totally ripping into nhs wellbeing culture. this poor consultant keeps trying to re-route us away from emigration & striking but sorry you’re the one who had me get up at 3!!
Just a pair of sociolinguists at an @ATEEZofficial concert ❤️🏴☠️ thanks so much @hannalimatius for the great time!!
Would you look at that 💙 Issue 71, and my latest guest edit, drops today. We've curated many incredible voices, covering everything from tinnitus to pure OCD, gaming habits for kids, the joys of handcrafting, Travellers' mental health challenges & more. Thanks to all involved!
I realise it's unfair to begrudge people career progression but so many people come and work at the crisis house for a bit because it's good experience for what they really want to do (clinical psychology training) and it fucking sucks to repeatedly be people's training ground.
Happy/relieved to say I submitted my thesis on Friday!
And she feels like home… 🏡❤️ Some very exciting news that we can finally share with everyone. 🥺 After almost 4 years of long drives, bus rides, and train journeys we are finally moving into our first flat together in 2 weeks. I’m so excited for our next adventure. 🫶🏻
The start of something new 🥰 #PhD
Looking forward to presenting my reflections on how discourses and perceptions of authenticity shape digital memory work and how young women navigate expectations to share happy memories from their “real life” and “be real” #ica23
Top @ICA_CAT student paper for #ica23 is: Sharing “memories in real life” on social media platforms: How constructs of authenticity are implicated within digital memory work Author: Taylor Annabell (Kings College London) @TaylorAnnabell @kingscmci @KingsCollegeLon
seeing 'is queer a slur' discourse in 2023 with the same rehashed incredibly bad faith arguments that have been in circulation for at least a decade, like please I'm begging you at this point to make friends with people who aren't the same age and didn't grow up in the same area
i'm not saying i'm anxious, i just imagine that whenever i'm presenting my work anywhere, this is what's going through people's minds
Spending time in nature can be good for health and well-being. Though I’m not sure that this focus on “prescribing” any intervention or large focus on GPs is helpful. Is there anything left that isn’t being positioned as a prescription? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
This conversation about nepo babies in academia always blows my mind. What do you MEAN your parents have PhDs??? This is the most random thing I’ve ever done!! Some of you come from a LONG LINE OF DOCTORS?? Wild
Yesterday, I had the best experience giving my first ever *keynote lecture* together with @ellavnhst. It was extra special because it was a 'home game' at the 2022 Lighentian Doctorials. @MULTIPLES_ugent
Like...either academic theory/expertise are important or they are not. Both stances have their place, but why try to add gravity to your argument by using theoretical concepts, while also immediately rejecting the idea that you should have any idea what these theories are.
Added to that, a lot of the context that gets lost is specifically about how these terms relate to STRUCTURAL issues, which require STRUCTURAL intervention. An individual neither 'has' a male gaze, nor can they reject it, because it's not an individual attribute.
