I was trying to get at thing that’s been bubbling around me at #NCPH2025 and I hit on “solidarity.” Turns out that’s this year’s conference theme. So, well done program committee! Mission accomplished.

THREAD: The telling of our history--one that is truthful & anchored in evidence--is being wiped away & literally rewritten in the National Park Service RIGHT NOW. You may have heard about the erasure of trans people from NPS sites, including its telling of Stonewall: www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm
