back in the classroom after 15 months. i’ve been dreading it, but i’m meeting new students, catching up with friends & remembering how much i love my job. i have no illusions about the State of Things but it’s wonderful to re-experience the everyday greatness of showing up to teach, listen & learn

“The people who came before me were burdened with the knowledge that this never lasts.” - Wow as a queer historian and teacher who mostly works with queer and trans young people this line hit hard ❤️❤️‍🩹

San Francisco had a similar law (1867) that existed alongside bans on cross-dressing, indecency, and carrying baskets on poles through the streets - a common practice among many Chinese workers. then, as now, the policing of poverty, disability, gender, sexuality, and immigration went hand-in-hand

"as a queer historian, I know that the erasure of history, while it might seem unimportant in the moment, is in fact always a crucial step on the road to autocracy"

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

i just think it would be very funny if ao3 became a repository for suppressed research, all appropriately tagged of course

One of my favorite Toni Morrison interviews: “the grandeur of life is that attempt” m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xvJ...

i remember sobbing in the california state archives when i first read the hand-written notes of asylum doctors. i couldn't shake the feeling for days. no training, reading, or thinking that "i already knew" had prepared me for that. now i treat it like witnessing. awful, painful, and necessary too

I wrote Arresting Dress, a history of anti-crossdressing laws in nineteenth-century San Francisco bookshop.org/p/books/arre...

Upset is correct! We can still vote NO on the obscene tentative agreement , which our chapter union leadership were not informed about when the agreement was announced. They terms are unacceptable. Press accounts have been misleading and inaccurate.
