@HarryMcCarthy I have absolutely no idea (it’s certainly not my personality…). I think perhaps because I requested to join every starter packs? They have a ‘follow all’ function, so I assume lots of people just hitting that?

[Dr Daniel Fountain @Daniel_Fountain]

For those skeptical about joining the ‘other site’ I’ve amassed the same amount of followers I have on here in less than 24 hours - and discovered so many academics whose work I was not familiar with prior. It feels like ye good olde days! 🦋

[Dr Daniel Fountain @Daniel_Fountain]

This site has become nothing but a poisonous cesspit of homophobia, transphobia, and racism, I'm leaving for the foreseeable. Find me on Instagram @ danielfountainart. Also trying out bsky🦋in the meantime @ https://t.co/cIUGJBnFn1.

@ahrcpress Hi there, I have still not had a response. It’s now been three months. Thanks!

[Dr Daniel Fountain @Daniel_Fountain]

Despite two top reviews, this @ahrcpress grant was rejected. One reviewer claimed it had no “relevance to LGB” and proved a “psychological risk” to children because it includes queer/trans people, and that there is “insufficient evidence” that LGBTQ+ people face hostility. 1/2

[Dr Daniel Fountain @Daniel_Fountain]

Just submitted a big grant. Like brilliant colleagues who were rejected, I probably won’t get it. This took 3 years of research and planning with 2 partners. Huge amounts of time, energy and input from countless people. The system is broken. At least there’s Prosecco. 🥂🌼

The fourth plinth artwork by Teresa Margolles is a powerful celebration of trans life – and an act of defiance https://t.co/BWtaUGZa9Z
