great @eddysarah.bsky.social on the work of Durham artist & gay rights activist Allan Troxler: his paper cuts w titles like 'Earth Heart' & ruminations like "Seems to me that one big difference between the revolutionary and the fascist is that one tries to understand his own heart and one doesn’t."
The Archive Tells the Story
On October 26, the Durham artist Allan Troxler died. A trailblazer in the fight for gay rights, he leaves an indelible legacy behind.

There is so much bad news on micro and macro levels lately, I will share a little personal win. Here is a sneak peek at a very early dummy of the interior layout for my book "The House Archives Built, and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibility," upcoming from @wehere.bsky.social press.

"In the aftermath of its censorship and dissolution of the next cohort and my job, the Whitney has now set up a working group to discuss the 'future' of the program. The irony, of course, is that the future of the ISP, and even its legacy, is precisely what the museum has so thoroughly compromised."
I Lost My Job at the Whitney, but the Art Community Lost Much More
The museum suspended its Independent Study Program, a space of collective thought and political solidarity, during a time when it is most needed.

NEW: Long COVID experts are concerned about Canada's new guidelines for "Post-COVID Condition", stating that some recommendations, like exercise, could harm people with the disease. @spichaksimon.bsky.social dives into the guidelines and the how they were created:

Experts call new Canadian Long COVID guidelines “contradictory” and “deeply concerning” - The Sick Times
The guidelines recommend exercise and therapy as Long COVID treatments. Despite his attempts, Paul Garner had no influence on the process.

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country.

Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding?
So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.
