Very excited this wonderful new #oralhistory book has arrived. Congratulations @dougboyd.bsky.social . This is both a great read if you’re new to oral history but also filled with thought-provoking & innovative material if you’re an advanced practitioner. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great conference programme here at the #IOHA2025 #oralhistory conference here in beautiful Krakow. This morning we are lucky to hear Rib Davis giving a powerful keynote on “Oral History and Climate Change: Testaments of Weirding”.

What a beautiful day & privilege, celebrating LGBTIQ+ history with awesome Sydney Pride History Group volunteers at Fair Day as part of month-long Mardi Gras festivities. #LGBTIQ+ #QueerHistory #MardiGras #FairDay #HistoryMatters

Sydney friends might be interested in this upcoming chat with Graham Willett about LGBTIQ+ activism before 1978 and his book on this great topic. More info: mailchi.mp/thebookshop....

This is really terrible. As is often said and needs to be repeated, there is no LGB without the T. We resist division and stand together as LBGTIQ people 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💪🏽

Having a fantastic time at the Australian #oralhistory conference speaking about women’s contribution to Australia’s early LGBTIQ+ history 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

So strange to remember a time when an entity called Twitter wasn’t openly hostile to movements for social change. Feels like a million years ago when marriage equality was supported there. Feels good to be here now anyway!
