Professor of Sociology, Sexuality and Ageing at The Open University, UK. She/her. Moved to Bluesky, same a/c name.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

Okay, enough is enough and Bluesky is beginning to look like enough of an alternative to work, so I'm gradually moving over there. Same account name, as it's more distinctive than my actual name. I'm slowly finding people to follow, please do follow me there if you're also moving

@Tesco I returned two items from an online order that were substitutions but the driver has only refunded me for one of them. How do I get this rectified?

Extremely useful summary of global trends in LGBT+ rights by the always insightful @OurWorldInData N.b. OU colleagues: all sorts of useful datasets here that can be used as the basis for Finding & Handling activities.

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

While some countries have granted more rights to LGBT+ people, others are moving in the opposite direction.

The chart, based on data from researcher Kristopher Velasco, shows that five countries had an explicit ban on same-sex marriage in 1991. Their laws did not just say nothing about same-sex marriage; they had laws that made it explicitly illegal.

By 2019, this number had increased to 37 countries, concentrated in Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.

These marriage bans have happened while a similar number of countries have legalized same-sex marriage.

In this way, LGBT+ rights have become more polarized: some countries have introduced progressive laws, while others have become more regressive.

Please retweet - UK residing only, I'm afraid.

I bought a bag in Stockholm with a picture of me on it! Well, nearly - she just needs to clipper one side of her head.

Relaxing after the end of #27NKG with an appropriate (if rather weak because Sweden) beer.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

#27NKG I had to stop attending a poster-viewing and lie down on a bench #CF #LongCovid but at least it made me appreciate this beautiful ceiling and atrium.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

Pleased with turnout for our symposium on LGBTQ ageing #27NKG, especially since it was 9am on the last day! Always a pleasure to present with @andrewdhking @KathrynAlmack and @acsantos_ces, and a joy to work with Maya Chew for the first time, who is doing such important work.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

@dr_dora_jandric Please can I steal your photo? We don't have any others of all of the panel.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

Gratuitous pretty picture from #27NKG

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

I feel there must be a metaphor in this slogan on a building near #27NKG. Academic work is up in the clouds? More grey cloud than blue sky thinking in the neo-liberal academy? Suggestions very welcome.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

@acsantos_ces It was a PhD student of Chris Gilleard and Paul Higgs': Elaine Eliopoulos. Details in Symposium 12.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

#27NKG I thought @ElizAscroft might be interested in this summary of issues in living on a small island in old age, in contrast to her interest in being a young person living on a small island. Study used creative methods (photo elicitation) too.

Accidental pre-symposium meal - we did invite other people, honest! #27NKG @chewmaya52228 @acsantos_ces @andrewdhking @KathrynAlmack

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

#27NKG Interesting symposium on late life (80+) creativity, first paper on Diana Athill. Thinking about my own writing trajectory and wondering whether I will start writing fiction again in old age.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

@acsantos_ces @ces_uc @andrewdhking @KathrynAlmack @linnjsandberg Me and my gesticulating arms! Nearly all the photos of me speaking in public have blurry arms because I'm waving them about. I should have been southern European really.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

#27NKG if you are interested in what generalist gerontology and geriatrics can learn from LGBTQ+ ageing research (or specifically in LGBTQ+ ageing), come to our symposium 'Not just for the queers', at 9am on Friday in Andreas Vesalius lecture hall.

[remembermyhat @remembermyhat]

Sometimes finding the set of posters being briefly presented at #27NKG is a challenge, but Max Kleijberg has had the genius idea of waving a rainbow umbrella for the set of posters on LGBTQ ageing.
