I’m sure it was teenagers pulling a “prank.” But ours is the only house in the neighborhood with a pride flag 🏳️‍🌈 and it was the only house toilet papered. Could it have been worse? Yes. Am I glad it wasn’t worse? Yes. Am I going to take down our flag? Fuck no.24 Feb 2025 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:67ncgw2hm3yqwcfzn7x4jb5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3liwpu4pezk22https://bsky.app/profile/jakenewsome.bsky.social/post/3lgy4m6dezc2vJust submitted the manuscript for my chapter “Queering Holocaust Memory” in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Memory.

My great aunt passed away yesterday. I’m having trouble putting into words how special she was to me. I had to get out of the house, so I spent the afternoon seeking solace in nature, among the ancient mountains and eternal stream.04 Jan 2025 15:37 +0000at://did:plc:67ncgw2hm3yqwcfzn7x4jb5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3lewgqowih22thttps://bsky.app/profile/jakenewsome.bsky.social/post/3leneqwm4r22f2024 has been hard. My MAGAt father cut ties w/ me. Feeling helpless watching the attacks on trans people. I’ve also had moments of extreme joy. Being a Papa to my 3 year old. Learning to tend my trees. Watching new sunsets. Loving my husband. Im nervous going into 2025. But trying to lean into joy01 Jan 2025 01:08 +0000at://did:plc:67ncgw2hm3yqwcfzn7x4jb5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3leneqwm4r22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/jakenewsome.bsky.social/post/3lef2woiuhk2jThis year I founded the Pink Triangle Legacies Project, a grassroots initiative that honors the Nazis’ queer & trans victims and fights homophobia & transphobia today through education, empowerment, & advocacy. I think the Project will join BlueSky next month.

My flabbers were ghasted to see a copy of #PinkTriangleLegacies on the shelves! I’ve only seen it at indie book stores (bc they rock!). Then I went to the #LGBTQ section and there was another on the display. Swoon! #bookstore #BooksBooksBooks19 Dec 2024 20:30 +0000at://did:plc:67ncgw2hm3yqwcfzn7x4jb5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldopnr253s2t
