I finally submitted a full Chapter 1 draft. It took two years due to the whole "full-time job" thing, but I did it.

Now I just gotta do it 4 more times.

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.

The Philly parade coverage is where it's at: no talking over the bands, views of the Art Museum, and Lisa Ann Walter?

Immediately better than the Macy's parade.

Does anyone else use Tropy to annotate research images? If so, have y'all also experienced frequent crashing to the point of not being usable?

(...or is it because my laptop not long for this world?)

I've been using my public transit rides to read historiography so I feel like I've actually done diss work before I go to my day job and it's been helping me not feel so behind when I open my laptop to co-write with my partner on Saturday mornings?

I miss reading fun stuff during the ride, but 🤷‍♀️

it's not much, but it's a start. 🤷‍♀️
