James and Rosie presenting on law's a drag

Ending out my #SLSA2026 with @lawsadrag.bsky.social and the wonderful @aliceaforethought.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social presenting about what has been going on with the Law's A Drag project since they introduced it to SLSA in 2024.

A fabulous end to a spectacular conference!

The entire crew, about seven of us in a karaoke booth, being queer and fun and sweaty and wine-fuelled and fabulous. Lots of peace signs, wine glasses, microphones, mess and joy

Immaculate karaoke vibes with the #slsa2026 singalong divas

It was a huge (and unexpected) privilege to be asked to step in and join the plenary on Protest and Progress. There's so much we as lawyers & academics can learn from drag artists by listening, cooperating, and supporting one another. Thanks everyone!

Six people sit at the front of the room, they are smiling and waving at someone taking a photo.

In place for the SLSA Plenary Session with @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social and @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social !

A drag artist tried to sue Netflix for a background character's likeness of her, that featured briefly in the gay spy series Q Force. First Amendment vs unauthorised use of personal likeness. She was unsuccessful. Camp, fun little legal read this:

Drag, Memory & Resistance: Reclaiming Gender At 'Drag At The Museum' In Bengaluru What Indian Music Experience's 'Drag at the Museum' Reveals About India’s Gender Paradox As India debates transgender rights, a Bengaluru museum uses drag to explore gender, history, and identity.

Really fascinating work here on the celebration of drag, history, and gender fluidity in the face of regressive anti-trans legislative proposals in India

and I looked drop dead bloody gorgeous - marriage material!

I'm just off out to tesco does anybody want anything picking up xx
