Thanks so much for coming to the event Tim, it was so great to see you again & be able to share our collective memories of John πŸ§‘πŸ“š

I wish he had been there.

I went for John but then Adam talked about what he called 'violence of silence' of Section 28. I hadn't really thought about how it affected me, a queer teen during the AIDS crisis with no support from teachers etc. Always felt less impacted than older folks.

But I was.

Finally got a copy of The Log Books and got it signed by Tash and Adam! Great to see Tash again and finally meet Adam. John's ears would be burning wherever he is, cos he was mentioned quite a few times.

Reading his parts I got quite tearful but made it through the talk OK!

Three people stood infront of The Bookish Type sign in the bookshop with copies of The Log Books book. The person on the left is wearing a yellow fleece, Adam Zmith, the person in the middle has blue round glasses on Kit Heyam, and the person on the right is wearing a denim jacket, Tash Walker. They are all smiling.

#TheLogBooks tour! Lovely evening in Leeds last night at @thebookishtype.bsky.social with Kit Heyam - so many interesting and heartwarming reflections, including one from someone who used to volunteer on Switchboards 🧑

I haven’t talked about The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline That Listened yet, but it’s so good!

The archive material is rich, the authors are incredible, and it’s been a total privilege to help a little with the context.

Check it out: www.faber.co.uk/product/9780...
