Hamas is globally condemned. Your condemnation of Hamas only serves Israel. The blood of ALL civilians is on the hands of Israel. The violence of decolonization is necessitated by the violence of colonial apartheid. FREE PALESTINE

For Elio Colavito, #OralHistory allows queer and trans people to speak “to and through the historical record” toward a history that allows them to share their own rich lives and experiences.

Queer histories are often overshadowed by the traumas the community experiences, but that’s not all there is. @webspookie spoke with oral historians @eliocolavito and Alisha Stranges on collecting the Pussy Palace’s stories as part of @LGBTQHistory.

"Collect, archive and publish" are three phases of oral history - each step having expansive avenues, but we need to think critically about "publish" to reach the right audiences. @eliocolavito on social media challenges to queer history public engagement - and the move to blogs
