This is a really lovely episode of Rail Natter! 🥰
Gareth Dennis talks to Ashlynn Hudson-Welburn of the National Railway Museum’s ‘People, Pride and Progress’ project, about queer histories within the rail industry.
The recorded personal stories from around 46:50 are very moving and worth hearing if that’s all you have time for.

I believe the only way to defeat this rhetoric is to understand it as Political Kayfabe, and to realise that the only weapon that pierces that performance is the Jester.

CW: Heated Rivalry
Cried twice during the season finale.
I’m so grateful we’re getting a second season. The only queer stories told in the 90s and early 2000s were of HIV/AIDS and drug addiction and the vilification of gay men.
Stories of queer love will literally save lives.

Immortality teaches survival. But what about living?

“Between” is a quiet #ShortStory of numbness giving way to trust, of restraint becoming tenderness, of two souls learning that feeling is as dangerous—and as necessary—as love itself.

I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.
It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.

A sharp, low-budget queer drama that proves intimacy doesn’t need spectacle. The Sleepover turns one long night into a surprisingly rich study of trust, projection, and honesty.

Added to my watch list 👍
Speaking of animated gay stories on Netflix, The Summer Hikaru Died is excellent, but def'ly not cute - very creepy queer coming of age story set in a small town folk horror mystery.

Thinking back to that time in Grade 1, living in early 90’s Georgia… when my school made me wear a dress for picture day. I cried. I hated it. I was not happy.
So I did something about it. :gooseknife:
I tucked my soccer jersey into my backpack and changed clothes when I got to school. I sat in front of the camera man, angry, silent, and he was speechless. I have that photo somewhere. I absolutely refused to perform femininity for them that day.
That 7 year old kid still lives inside of me today. Defiant. Tough. Proud. Butch. :gaysparkles:

Cultures have an incredible impact on our society, and not just anthropologically. Cultures in a microbial context have an equally significant impact on the industries that allow us to live the lives that we want.
Jayashree Srinivasan is a microbiologist specialising in biotechnology and microbial research. Join us as we speak about Jaya's journey to cultivating cultures, the intersectionality of culture and identity, and the complementary nature of being both scientist and pastry chef.

Hey y’all,
My good friend, Rae Garringer, wrote a book about their time collecting and sharing stories of #queer folks in small towns and #rural communities.
Their project is Country Queers. They have a podcast. The whole thing is really great.
They’re trying to raise some $ to do a book tour. If you can help kick in a few bucks and/or help #boost, we’d really appreciate it 💜💜
