Some clippings are too long for alt text, so if there's a post that you'd like a full transcription of, my DMs are open and I'd be happy to transcribe it for you.

Note to self: Trying to correct this person will be met with zero evidence but lots of responses of "I was there!" from them.

One thing I'm struggling to navigate right now is how to handle some of the more toxic aspects of our past. How do I cover, for example, Lesbian separatists in the 1970s without adding fuel to the modern anti-Trans panic? I've largely avoided the topic for this reason.

This type of archival work of LGBTQ+ social spaces, folkways, etc. is crucial but SO underfunded. I did a similar story on historians of queer nightlife a few years ago and it was a) tons of fun & b) depressing to hear how little money/resources were available then. Presumably even less now.

Taken by New York Daily News photographer Joseph Ambrosini, the only photo published of the first night of the Stonewall uprising shows a scuffle between the street youths and patrons of Stonewall Inn versus the raiding police officers. For me, it's sparked an enduring mystery.

The police reports are incredible and I can't recommend enough taking the time to read through them. One of my hobbies is searching for more information about people mentioned in them, but so far they mostly elude me.

Our history should be taught. The Supreme Court's decision today in Mahmoud v. Taylor underscores another core belief I have -- our history should be accessible. LGBTQ+ students and their allies should be able to look to the past and see themselves and see people who have fought for their rights.

My other aim for this account is to provide everyone with resources for confronting misinformation online about queer history. It's a common tactic of bigots to make appeals to history as an attempt to critique the modern movement and our current methods of fighting for liberation.

I really do mean it when I say you should be fighting back against misinformation about queer history and that if there's anything you ever need from me, let me know and I will try and help. M'fers will twist our history to erase people, quell protests and erode our rights. Don't let them.
