Anyone else read this and think okay she was cooler than she sometimes gets credit for?

Everyone should be alarmed by the censorship Texas Tech University is imposing on students and faculty. The details are appalling. This kind of ideologically motivated suppression of scholarship on gender and sexuality has happened before in Russia and Hungary. www.fox4news.com/news/texas-t...

An unexpected thing about Gavin Newsom’s memoir: much of what he says about his father’s life comes from an oral history interview by the queer historian Martin Meeker

Allow me to tout my friend @timothysw.bsky.social’s book, “Queer Clout: Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics”! www.pennpress.org/978081222406...

I know the talk here is about other stuff today, but I've been meaning to write more about my passions. HUGE credit to my dear friend, @timothysw.bsky.social, an Assoc. Prof. of History at Rutgers, who wrote "Queer Clout: Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics", for his help on the historical notes.

Been meaning to write about this... I’ve had the privilege to be allowed by my employer to be behind and see to fruition our Pride Train. Every year it’s meant to be a showing of welcoming and inclusion, though started as just a train wrap and mean to run from June 1 thru at least Market Days.
