Good Evening!
My name is Jonathan White (he/they)
I am an MA student studying History at Loyola University Chicago.
More specifically, I study 20th-century American queer and urban history.
I am researching the interconnection between Milwaukee's built environment and its queer community!
I heard that @loyolahistdept.bsky.social is accepting applications for their History Graduate Student Association. I should present my other research project as a grand return.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

A historic landmark of queer culture in Milwaukee has closed its doors, and I am truly heartbroken. No fanfare, celebration, or fundraising efforts were used to help save this historic space of Milwaukee's queer community—just a single social media post.

Yesterday, I presented at my first conference, Loyola University Chicago's History Graduate Student Association history conference, with a paper titled Walker's Point: How Queerness in the Built Environment Created Community! I'm thrilled I got to share my research with my fellow attendees!

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Oh my god.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.

"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

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.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.

my university's trustees just made our interim president, who holds faculty in deep, unapologetic contempt and has been part of a team that's financially driving us into the ground, into the actual president.

like that other election, I expected it, but it's still gutting.
