So have you ever wanted a trove list of all the #transgender related publications I have found? Well guess what you're in luck: https://t.co/9ID1sKw9Xb
If you find awesome stuff it's now collaborative. @TroveAustralia

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

I’m not on here at all anymore. I’m on Bluesky and mastodon. If you need me I’m sure you can find me. Bye twitter.

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

This is the last tweet from this account. I'm on the Mastadon (@[email protected])
and the Bluesky (@[email protected]). Their will be a short period of time before I delete this account.

It actually asks you to put a floppy in!

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

How long has it been since you updated your dialogue box?

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

Yes I know this list is getting on a bit I’m age and the earliest parts have gaps thanks to trove’s tendency to remove things. It’s still a great resource and I still add to it, though I’m thinking of making a more permanent, no delete version outside of trove.

Spreading disinformation about trans lives and gender affirming health care drives trans people into public danger. We developed this little guide to help people understand the facts about Australian Trans Young People.

Four corners on Monday showed how potentially unethical research on families seeking care at Westmead was then later weaponised against the trans community.

@PollyMaeve Included life insurance. Which is something everyone should have included in their super if they can. Most of the best performing public supers are the industry super funds. If your eligible for one of the very high performance invite only / private ones though do check them out.

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

@PollyMaeve Financial advisers are good for this. Always talk to one before changing a big thing like this. I got a free session when I was young and thus chose a really good fund, still one of the best performing. Also check fees. Biggest fee will likely be included life included.

Sometimes though its an odd thing that dates it very clearly without intending too. I.e. this one I am working on I am dating using of all things, the photo of a floral clock. #librarylifre #archivelife

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

A lot of ephemera don't have date information; some does have a printer's mark, which can be date-based. I usually use fashions, cars (or lack thereof), phone number length, and use of the pound over the dollar (this is Australian so the pound means before 1968);

WITHOUT GOOGLING name a famous historic battle.

Completely coincidental but this ephemera item on the Route 107 is also item 107! #librarylife #archivelife

Celebrate pride by following these queer blak creatives (a thread)

To celebrate pride month, here is a thread on some First Nations drag kings and queens ❤️💛🖤💚🤍💙🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

If you can’t have a plan of what you will do if something goes wrong, then your probably can’t do pride events. You want to be supportive, then you have to follow through and support when things go wrong. We deserve it.

[Anne Rowlands 🏳️‍⚧️ @Anne_Rowlands]

If you are in management and you want to do #pride you need to do action plan for what you do if it doesn't go well and you get backlash. It needs to be a well-thought-out action plan with OH&S, damage control, and how to keep being supportive while protecting you and your staff.

Niche question: does anyone know of any historians of sport or academics with a keen interest in Australia's sporting history based in Canberra? #twitterstorians
