Recording the hidden River Fleet, one of London’s 20 ghost rivers, flowing beneath streets built over it. Lowering my recorder into a drain, the river suddenly roared to life, a reminder that nature persists, even when we've buried it beneath concrete. Listening closely to hear what it has to say.

THE LOG BOOKS is part history & part memoir with a mix of call logs, interviews & the authors’ own experiences, very accessible & a great starting point for anyone interested in UK queer history from the past few decades. Buy it here: proud-geek.co.uk/queer-book/t... #booksky

My review of The Log Books is in the May issue of @historytoday.com! A delight to spend time with such a rich & engaging text.

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!

#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 🧡

Lovely evening at Bookish Type in Leeds hearing about THE LOG BOOKS by @tashwalker.bsky.social and @adamzmith.bsky.social Really looking forward to getting into this after hearing about the funny, sad, bittersweet stories of the people using and running the switchboards @faberbooks.bsky.social

Somehow I missed this - posted up the intervew with my late partner, John Lindsay as part of The Log Books podcast Series 4, episode 1. He was one of the founders of Gay Switchboard. Tash spoke at John's funeral. shows.acast.com/thelogbooks/... #queerhistory #gayswitchboard #queer #lgbtq

Had a great, uplifting afternoon, along with other members of @switchboard.bsky.social at an event for the launch of 'The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened'. Authors Adam Zmith & former Switchboard Co-Chair Tash Walker came to discuss the book and answered questions.

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...
