On holiday in Greece, among the olive trees and pines and the sea, in celebration of ten years together with Lee. We have encountered a few philosophers and ancient gods' temples on the way, and incredible food throughout. Grateful for life.

Was incredibly proud to be at Trans Pride and speak about Kindred Clinic Cork, about my experience being trans in Ireland, and about how the struggle for trans health care is a struggle for adequate healthcare for everyone. There were so many other great speakers and we had a lovely turnout.

Grateful for community, grateful for life, grateful for struggle.

Really enjoying the sunshine in Ireland this week. Spent Sunday in the Gearagh doing field research and today at the beach in gorgeous weather. The water and sun have been good for the soul.

I adore being on the water and got to see a very small part of the Stockholm archipelago before leaving Sweden today. I secretly have always wanted to live on a small island in the sea...

In Stockholm for a few days to present a paper on what I am learning on the River Lee about colonialism and modernity. Enjoying the long sunny day on the balcony and my first ride on a high speed rail system.

So many green spaces in the city.

High speed rail at 188 km/hr. 🚄
