This is why academics and universities need to speak up and push back, now: These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."
It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Can’t complain to Google about “Gulf of America” - reviews are turned off, and reporting data errors won’t find the water as a place. I really wanted to give it a “wrong name” report. I would have felt good about that.

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator
