#takebackthenight event at #unccharlotte proud of the students and inspired by really great collaboration across different organizations. Reflecting on what progress we’ve made since these marches began in the 70s on college campuses #sexualassaultawarenes

[FIU History Dept @FIUHistory]

Our colleague @JulioCapoJr has an excellent new piece out in @madebyhistory touching on Disney, Florida orange juice, anti-gay activist Anita Bryant and Stonewall to give us some perspective on the shallow roots of corporate support for LGBTQ issues:

@NunezBargueno @ReligiousBodies @CesarRinad I am not a church-goer anymore, I was brought up in the Catholic Church, but in the U.S. I couldn’t imagine seeing a breast feeding mother in such a visible religious space, sadly! Sharing with my students, interested in reactions given the veneration of motherhood

@sevenofnein @kenlipartito @FIUHistory Congratulations Sven!

Drag is not “obscene” and has been a inherent part of the history of entertainment culture. That said, welcome back the 1860-70s Comstock Laws and 50s “impersonation” laws that gave authorities discretion to harass and repress lgbtq people

[ACLU of Tennessee @aclutn]

We are disappointed that Gov. Lee signed a bill that politicians intended to censor drag performances.

But to be abundantly clear: this law does not make it illegal to perform in drag in TN. The newly-signed law bans obscene performances, and drag is not inherently obscene.

@Jalane_Schmidt @txabela_cc @ARMH_Memoria @ClementsAustinJ @ddoncelmartin Check out the Spanish Civil War interviews here: https://t.co/RniRkZAvZi

One's with me. 🙂 Another one is with the wonderful @FraserRaeburn. Many other interesting ones.

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@arielmaelambe Thats so awesome!

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@arielmaelambe Im so sorry for the family loss and that you’re going through all of this

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@arielmaelambe This was me last week too, I really needed an Office Space printer killing moment. Before pain running helped, now I need to find things that can safely be broken and to channel angry art (I like the spaghettini idea) A long walk definitely helps!

[Nick Lloyd @Civil_War_Spain]

This is an interesting list of "neglected" novels/memoirs in English about the Spanish Civil War. 3-4 are rather well known in Spain. Only read 4 and 2 I've never heard of. Reading article author Sarah Watling new book Tomorrow Perhaps the Future at mo. https://t.co/Ye2oGnTO63

@ralvarezpi @BaylorHistory Wow these students have my heart

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@arielmaelambe @headron I just sent you a DM, Ariel. I love this idea!

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@dr_tgpeterson Agree, I’m also reinstating more policies next semester. Students need boundaries and I don’t think continuing the unchecked flexibility of the last couple years will prepare them for jobs.

[Nick Lloyd @Civil_War_Spain]

Famous photomural by Josep Renau, exhibited at the Spanish Pavilion of the 1937 Paris World’s Fair (as was Guernica), contrasting a woman from Salamanca in traditional bridal dress and a militiawoman from Barcelona – in trousers as she strides confidently forward in a new Spain.

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

@Trevor_E_Bryant I have to credit my great FIU professors for that!

[Maria Labbato @MariaLabbato]

Well wishes to everyone for the start of the semester. Photo caption: must be teaching a graduate (my first!) seminar 😄 Going to be a fun one #uncchistory #LTAMstudies #genderhistory #historyofsexuality
