@eivissa02 @theyasminbenoit @stonewalluk @PrideInLondon If you're asking in good faith, celibacy is a choice to abstain from sex while asexuality is an orientation where people experience little to no sexual attraction to others. If you're being a troll, go back to guarding your bridge with riddles. 🙃

Ahead of #WomensDay, I *will* find a more professional/less
self-flagelating equivalent of, "I think I am making a reasonable request, I swear I'm not trying to be difficult, but I can apologise for my existence if that's preferable" for this work email! (Suggestions welcome.)

New study from our network members @rosielperkins @UlaTymoszuk @AaronWilliamon @NetaSpiro 4 overarching themes characterise how arts engagement might facilitate feelings of #socialconnectedness: social opportunities, sharing, commonality & belonging, collective understanding.

[Sasha Kaye @SashaLKaye]

Doing a PhD that borrows from gender studies and sociology when your background is in psychology means spending a lot of time searching for "sociological equivalent of [psych phenomenon]". I can see the thing! I just don't know the discipline-specific way to describe the thing!

[Sasha Kaye @SashaLKaye]

@StephenClift @EDIMusicStudies @mirandaharmer @Donne_UK Thank you very much! When I have some more data, I hope to be able to share my findings.

[Sasha Kaye @SashaLKaye]

Dentist: "you have great teeth."
Me thinking to myself: *say something normal!*
Me: "thanks, I grew them myself."
Dentist: "..."
Me: "..."
