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.

Okay I somehow legitimately didn’t know about this and it’s one of the most gloriously nerdy things I’ve ever heard of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiqua...

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.
One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

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

Guess who’s getting my AQS dues instead of AQS?

Ever since our earliest ancestors began applying iron oxide to cave walls and their bodies, the color red has played a major role in art, rituals, and spirituality. The use of red can evoke excitement...

AQS is not going to get my renewal $
The long history of quilt activism makes this shameful.
Laura Shaw’s quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. See her website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your...
