6/25/19 thread about ACT UP, Aner Candelario, and NAMBLA

Here is the link to my June 25, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about the ACT UP Oral History Project interview with Aner Candelario.

I found, and still find, this interview very important, because Candelario talks about boys in ACT UP who were lovers with men. A lot of these boys were part of the North American Man Boy Love Association. They were boys who were lovers with men and were fighting for their love to be decriminalized.

People have really suppressed this aspect of the gay rights movement, especially since the huge push for sexual conservatism (partly via welfare reform and neoliberalism) in the early 1990s.

3/24/16 review of book The Gentrification of the Mind, by Sarah Schulman


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of Sarah Schulman's book The Gentrification of the Mind: Witness to a Lost Imagination.

The thread gives some background on Sarah Schulman and how I came to learn of her through the ACT UP Oral History Project. The thread gives a quick summary of the book's themes. It compares Schulman's work to other authors. And it discusses what I like about Schulman's style. It also gives links to the University of California Press's web page for the book and to the ACT UP Oral History Project.
