@LoesjaVigour @robertbidder@WellcomeLibrary Also, lots more zines about rest, work and health to look through @WellcomeLibrary, so be sure to get in touch with them if you enjoyed the selection on the day 🥳
We loved seeing everyone interact with the incredible zine library curated by @LoesjaVigour @robertbidder from the @WellcomeLibrary. However, 2 zines went missing:
Soofiya, 'Quiet thing'
Poetry on Prozac, 'a disordered mind'
If you have seen these, please let us know!
Come and find out why writing about joy, love and pleasure can be an act of activism.

Looking for some weekend listening? 👂
Tune in to our podcast from the @artofnotdoing conference last week, where scholars discussed the rise in movements that oppose production and work in favour of centering pleasure, sustainability and compassion.

Saidiya Hartman “There is a kind of redundancy between Blackness and queerness”
“I am a speculative writer too. I think of my work as a kind of time travel”
Today was a first! I was surrounded by so many PHD candidates in a one room.
What stood out was the amazing PHD candidates who were intelligent& relatable black women!
Thank you so much the organizers of @artofnotdoing conference
