Baker Street half-baked: Is Sherlock part of a new anti-intellectualism?

...health is to be found in being an all-rounder, rather like Doyle himself (a medical general practitioner who wrote in a range of genres, and was skilled at seemingly every sport played in the early 20th century).

Review: Bisexuality: Identities, Politics and Theories by Surya Monro

...health provision and workplace inclusion. Certain bisexualities – for example, ‘performative’ bisexuality (in which the action has the appearance of bisexuality even if the person performing it does not identify as such) among young women – were also commodified by a capitalist gaze.
