So I've started the process of collecting mental health and illness and mental health care related poems from people who live and working HRM, with the aim of creating a new work of art or collection them as my legacy project during my 2024-27 term. Come out April 29 to the Central Library for more!

Never not disgusted by the way educational institutions use the language of disability and accessibility to justify their increased use of predatory AI. Apparently, instructors have no right to guard their IP against companies like Amazon, our lectures used to train the tech that will replace us.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.
