I can barely stand to touch Bluesky nowadays, but my friend Tasneem in Gaza has a new fundraiser link. Times are hard everywhere, but if you have a little to spare, I hope you will consider donating.

I gotta get surgery for my baby Candy to get an infected tooth removed and it’s $600 even with her insurance so I need at least 6 $100 commissions, so if anyone would like one or knows someone that would, I’d greatly appreciate y’all passing it on 🥺

We live in horrifying, depressing times, and there will still be people in the future who will claim they had no idea it was happening.
Let the record show:
-multiple genocides
-concentration camps
-people being stripped of their rights
Happening. Now.

not a single person's job, not a single grant, will be saved by surrendering instead of fighting. ask columbia.

Remember when Colbert roasted W at the 2006 correspondents‘ dinner, quipping that “reality has a well-known liberal bias”? Twenty years later (almost), and the NPS is now required to crowdsource “information” based on personal feelings because the historical facts are deemed too unpleasant. Cool. 🗃️

Grateful for @joellenovey.bsky.social's voice every single day.

Between starvation and bombs, any efforts to keep Tasneem and her family alive are best described as desperate now. A small amount of food has been let in; our donations give a better chance of being able to afford the steep markup.

Tasneem is getting closer to her goal, but she still has a ways to go. As I’m sure you know, the situation is dire, with constant bombings and inadequate food and other necessary resources. Anything you could do would help.

Today is Ed Balls Day.

I was fortunate to speak with @tianarochon.bsky.social last week for this story about Boston’s queer history and ongoing efforts to preserve what my former employer has purged.

Since my reach is so small and my resources are limited, I’m focused on one person, one family who I can try to help. Tasneem isn’t a scammer or spammer; she’s vetted and I’ve been chatting with her off and on for a couple weeks now.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Many of my public history friends here in the Boston area are doing the big important work this weekend. However, the only thing I have to offer is:
Took an Edible and Now Watching American Revolution Media We Watched as Children.

Hi everyone, I’ve been chatting with Tasneem for about a week now. She’s trying to get herself and her family to safety, though her fundraiser’s progress has stalled. Anything you can do would be hugely appreciated.

“Tubman’s photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation” in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.”
