Still feeling grateful to have received the "LGBTQ+ History Keeper Award" at Councilmember Rue Landau's 2nd Annual Philadelphia LGBTQ+ Hall of Fame Awards this past week. A lovely ceremony and all heros of mine among my fellow awardees past and present. 🙏🌈🏆

@septa-social.bsky.social There’s no sign at 3rd and Market indicating that the 17 is not stopping there. Several people waiting on it as it made this detour.

Latin Americanists and foreign film buffs: Trying to ID a Latin American film. Only have a meter of 35mm film. Might be titled PRESTAMOS. Kodak edge code suggests copy made in 1922, 1942, or 1962. Perhaps actors, military uniform, or locale will help with ID.

Apple Macintosh PowerBook of some flavor. I think maybe a 540c. I’m older than this model suggests (1993?) as I came to computers late, in grad school.
