This event is going to be epic! I’ll be there talking! Please save the date.

Although preposterous, we find that our "queer counter-myth" proposed in the song is no less preposterous than state-sanctioned accounts of history and colonial endeavour.

We have a new article published about our song: "Cosmic Beavers"!!! The song is about an obstinacy of time-travelling, trans-dimensional beavers who intervene in history, chinking "un-conducive elements" into the wall of their time dam.

In the song, the Cosmic Beavers intervene in Lewis and Clark's cross-continental trek. The Beavers subject them to quantum shredding, making use of their photons to power the lasers, while the remaining bodily and temporal visceral are used to chink the Time Dam.

While I can’t describe what it feels to have family you cannot contact in Gaza, I can describe what it means to have colleagues, friends, students and neighbours checking in, visiting, protesting, and educating themselves. The world suddenly feels kinder, less lonely…

Universities are terrified of the @UCU Marking & Assessment Boycott and are threatening us with disgusting, unjust pay deductions ranging from 50-100% of our salaries. I have compiled the data I’ve found thus far. All unis threatening pay cuts must be named and shamed. #ucuRISING

Oblique Curiosities reunited! And, as always, in a graveyard.
