Choosing Values Over Platforms

After much consideration, I’ve decided to delete The Dead History Facebook and Instagram accounts. This choice wasn’t made lightly, but it reflects my deeply held belief that all people deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and, above all else, kindness—regardless of their race, religion, or sexual identity.

In recent years, I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable with how these platforms operate and the ways they often amplify division, hate, and misinformation. While I can’t change the nature of these spaces, I can choose not to participate in them. By stepping away, I hope to focus my energy on creating content and fostering connections in spaces that prioritize authenticity, inclusivity, and humanity.

For those who’ve followed me on social media, I’m grateful for your support, and I hope you’ll continue to connect with me here on the blog or through BlueSky and/or The Dead History newsletter. My work will always center on sharing stories and ideas that honor history, promote understanding, and remind us of our shared humanity.

Thank you for your understanding as I embrace this new chapter. Let’s build a world that values kindness and compassion—together.

With gratitude,

Jennifer
