LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS This week we're talking about the poem that inspired Disney's Mulan! There was a poem? Heck yeah there was. It's from 5th or 6th century China, and way more concise than either of us was expecting. 💙📚 open.spotify.com/episode/0551...

What's one more movie like this?

Sometimes you just don't vibe with a book. But sometimes a book makes you reconsider things about yourself, like, "How did I ever think this was any good in the first place?" and, "Am I really going to put up with this?" That's Disgrace by JM Coetzee for me. 💙📚 open.spotify.com/episode/4nq9...

I'm pretty sure this is preaching to the choir, but... If you want more queer stories and novels and art and music created, you have to vote with your wallet. Support the creators, buy their works, contribute to crowdfuding and Patreons. Money talks, and sales makes people pay attention.

It's not enough for queer folks to feel comfortable around me I'd like homophobes and transphobes to feel very uncomfortable around me ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
