Inspiring Business: Mobile App Brings LGBTQ History To Life
HooplaHa·Published on Feb 3, 2014
Take a step back in time with Quist, a new app that educates users about events in LGBTQ history. Open it up and you'll see how years ago to the very date, events took place that changed the course of equality. Each event illustrates how far the world has come in making a safer, more equal environment for LGBTQ people and their straight allies. The world may still not be perfect, but Quist reminds young people that progress has been made, and that it certainly can keep getting better.

I was fortunate to have had parents who read and read and read. Reading was huge in our family, which was somewhat unusual in the circumstances. But I learned of W.E.B. Du Bois, Richard Wright, Maya Angelou, James Baldwin and many more only because of libraries. A couple of the old Carnegie Libraries in Cleveland, OH in particular. I learned things they weren't teaching in schools in the 50s and 60s. Nor even now for that matter.

... where would we be without them? I'm not a librarian, but I shoulda' been. I am a bibliophile, though. 
Speaking of Orwell, whoever created our current reality from Hell, sociologically and economically, took their outline straight from Orwell's 1984, didn't they? Actually, they married 1984 with the Powell Memorandum, and maybe a splash of good old-fashioned fire and brimstone evangelical fundamentalism and viola', here we are. Could that person indeed have been Lewis Powell himself?
Hey... who's that in the picture? Is that you, DeSwiss? And is that your quote above the picture?
...on both counts.
I thought that might have been Orwell himself.

They are going to kick us off DU if we keep this up.
