'BLOODY HELL, WHY DID NOBODY EVER TELL ME ABOUT THAT!'

Medieval trans women, the British judiciary killed Alan Turing, black people in Britain before 1945...

Histories that get silenced, leaving us feeling like some weird postmodern blip instead of full human beings. [livejournal.com profile] deathbyshinies' magnificent project intends to tell some of these stories, and she'd love you to write her 1,000-1,500 words about your favourite secret history.

I'm going to be writing about Alan Turing's prosecution for homosexuality, and about Oscar Wilde's bisexuality. Information on how to reclaim your hidden history can be found here. Please do consider signing up to what should be a deeply worthwhile project!

Life is good for me at the moment. I'm getting very, very into studying the sociology of the internet. So much so that I'm considering this, even though just last week I resolved to get myself a part-time job that would pay the bills in order to devote two days a week to working on volunteering, activism, and song-writing. There also appears to be A Boy, (is there an upper age limit on that term? Someone may have to give me another word..) which is new, and exciting, and scary, and yet somehow deeply comfortable.
