In How Pedro Zamora used TV to fight AIDS, Matt Baum talks about the life, work, and impact of Zamora on the household conversations about AIDS and on U.S. policy.
In terms of celebrating queer creators, I hesitate to share this because I've featured Matt's work here and on @HabitatRing previously. The message and the work that Pedro did are too important. How he lived and what he accomplished are something we need to be reminded of today.
Matt Baum is a queer journalist. Much of his work focuses on how queer people influenced popular culture. His latest book is Hi Honey, I'm Homo! focusing on "sitcoms, specials, and the queering of American Culture".

"We have to save each other and Mutual Aid is one of the first steps in how we get there." In the Prince Shakur video I'm highlighting today, Prince talks about ways we can support each other and thrive when government fails us. Prince covers Food, Healthcare, Harm reduction, Education, Housing, Legal support, and Abolition. (Content: government violence, substance use.)
From Prince's bio:
author, journalist, podcast host, video maker, and educator – is an unapologetic force in today's literary and cultural landscape.
You can buy his memoir, When They Tell You To Be Good, at Bookshop.org.

Julia Nunes is doing a Kickstarter for her upcoming album, Julia Nunes is perfect. You can watch her announcement video. She's done three other successful Kickstarters.
I first discovered Julia Nunes through her ukelele (and melodica) covers of classic hits. I've kept up with her work over the years, especially as she moved into creating more and more original work. Life Is Long is one of my favorite songs of all time. She's released one song from the album. It's called "Your favorite" and you can listen to it on at least some of the music streaming services.
(I'm hesitant to apply a label to Julia but I know that many of her partners have been women.)

CW: Queer Creator Highlight - Frak This podcast (long)
Having recently finished watching the last of the Babylon 5 movies recently, Jessie Earl (Jessie Gender) and Vera Wylde have turned their attenion to Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 reboot) on the Frak This podcast. Developed by Star Trek alum, Ronald D. Moore, Battlestar Galactica was contemporaneous with Lost. While both shows were cultural touchpoints of their era, BSG had lower viewership, perhaps in part due to airing on cable in the U.S. in the era prior to the streamers. It's likely the number of people who knew of the show from the Bears, Beats, Battlestar routine in The Office exceeded the number of people who saw the show as it aired.
Battlestar built on the arc-driven narrative employed by Babylon 5 but included new elements such as gritty realism, hand held shots, and casting choices that spawned objections from some fans of the original series.
The Frak This podcast uses the format that Vera and Jessie have developed over the last few years. One presenter recaps the episode while the two discuss particular plot beats. After the recap is finished, they talk about their overal feelings about the episode and cover anything that didn't really fit in the scope of the episode recap.
Jessie Earl is a filmmaker and pioneer in the area of video essays. She has an extensive background in SciFi and media criticism with an LGBTQIA+ perspective. She's seen Battlestar Galactica before but it's been a while and she's re-evaluating her perspective on it.
Vera Wylde is perhaps best known for running the channel Council of Geeks on Youtube where she does a lot of Doctor Who reviews and analysis. She's new to Battlestar Galactica and is analyzing the show through not only her usual perspective but as someone coming to it fresh in 2025.
I provided the direct link to the podcast above but you can also listen to it on YouTube if you prefer.

The 20€ sale picked up the first week of September, but no one's bought anything since. Now I'm wondering if I should continue the sale until I'm cleared out of current inventory like I'd planned, or if I should limit such a massive pennies-an-hour sale to just one month.
After all, I don't want it to stick around so long it looks like "the norm".
Hmm... Yes, I think the absurdly-low-wage sale will have to end when the spooky times begin.
So, if you'd like to take advantage of that, please peruse my squishy wares on the @coopartisans marketplace! I want more space in the corner I have for my inventory.

Hello, all! I'm jumping in here from a disintegrating Twitter in the hopes of building myself a little corner on this confusing little Website.
I tried typing out a thorough #introduction with pictures, but the app randomly closed on me and deleted it, so... :v
Short version!
My name is Alex Haze! I'm a small small small small business owner! That is to say: I have made under ten sales, but I'm working hard and improving my crafts! More info can be found where the shop is hosted on ko-fi.com/handmadehearts.
My Twitter handle is the same as here, for however long that lasts.
My Tumblr URL is handmadehazefromtheheart.I do #crochet and #knitting and #embroidery. I'm one of them #actuallyautistic #queercreators. Here's things I'm proud of!

Hey everyone, just a reminder-- the #outcastCreatorCollective is a support network for #queerCreators, #eroticCreators, and other types of #contentCreators that are often ostracized or "treated as outcasts" by mainstream websites (especially #sexWorkers and #eroticArtists !)
We're here to help each other find other creators to #collaborate with, commiserate, share resources, etc!
If you'd like us to boost your posts about new content, livestreams, etc, go ahead and tag us in your post and we'll be happy to do it! :)
