The night finished fast, though. The first kids turned up 1.5 hours ago and now it's like a ghost town.
Kelly ThereseI just posted a new episode of Unsung History, which features an interview with Dr. Felicia Kornbluh about the reproductive rights activism in 1960s New York that led to the most liberal abortion law in the country there in 1970.
With the fall of Roe, this activist history is key to what to do next.
Sure they've got a song called #Halloween, but this one's the Misfit's best, on Oct. 31 or any other time. https://youtu.be/khVNFS3xVA8

Rachel ClevesThe deadline is approaching for the biennial "Moving Trans History Forward" conference at the University of Victoria, where I teach. This is a profound event that I have been grateful to participate in during the last decade. Submissions from community members, artists, scholars, and professionals all welcome. And there are bursaries! Send in your proposal by Nov 15. #trans #2S #history #histodons https://www.uvic.ca/mthf2023/
Prepping a lecture on the #history of the #UniversityOfToronto and thinking about a 19th-c #historian and UofT prof who was the 1st (1851) to use "prehistoric" - a particular conceptual bugbear of mine - in English. Happy Halloween #histodons! https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.20069/page/n5/mode/2up
Any other #histodons from the worlds of #moneyhistory #historyofmoney #historyofcapitalism #financialhistory #historyoffinance #bankinghistory make the leap from that other place recently?

Hi all! Like several other #histodons, I'm hoping this place is better than another where I'm also known as @brian_gettler. I work on #CdnHist, #histqc, and the history of colonialism, especially the fiscal variety. J'écris en français itou.
