A Black History of Stripper Culture👠💵

My exploration of sex history continues with A Black History of Stripper Culture. We talk about historic clubs like Magic City, how Atlanta got fully nude clubs, the black women who were/are strippers, the problems they face, labor history, depictions of black strippers, and how people's attitudes towards them have evolved over time.

The Nineties: American X

[moominhands]

I don’t share a lot of channels on here but I think it’s more important than ever to ask people give historian Intelexual Media a subscription. With this administration doing its best to further erase our history, it’s important to hold on to what we can share in accessible ways with others.

I’m pretty sure the lowest $1 tier of her Patreon will get you access to all her sources if you want to do your own looking. In general though her content is free, meticulously researched, and always well contextualized with contemporary reactions to the events she’s talking about. She’s done overviews of life in the 70s, 80s, is currently working on the 90s. She’s discussed Black American history specifically and also the history of sex.

Wonderful article written by Intelexual Media:

Why Can't Americans Read?

Why can't Americans read? 54% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 read below a 6th-grade level. Let's dive into America's literacy p

"Sure, personal experience counts for something and being a good person can be pretty intuitive, but politics and global issues aren’t a flat one dimensional Disney movie of pure good versus pure evil. There are grey areas that demand study past headlines and personal feelings. How can you argue with experts and factual evidence as if your opinion holds the same weight? How are self-help books being used as an intellectual foundation? The 48 Laws of Power, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and The Art of War do not make you an expert on drug policy, mass incarceration, and systemic poverty— and yes, I’ve read those books!  Joe Rogan and No Jumper podcasts don’t make you an expert on shit, and neither do daily Vaush or Hasan streams. Why are you looking at the quote tweets on a viral post, forming an opinion from what seems to be the prevailing sentiment, and then writing your own version in the hopes of going viral? This is in addition to people who cannot read simple social media posts and end up making arguments out of nothing. Have you noticed in online spaces that a lack of comprehension causes hostile misunderstandings and aggression?"

"To be clear, there is no principled or long lasting revolution happening without more literacy and informed thinking. In addition to reading more, people must be able to discern what is fact, what is opinion, and how to place all kinds of facts and opinions into a broader context. We need to make the knowledge in books more accessible, to bridge the gap for people can’t or don’t read often."

A History of Zombies

Try Rocket Money for free: https://RocketMoney.com/INTELEXUAL

In what was supposed to be a 20-minute video, I discuss the ways that zombies (and other revenants) have evolved in folklore, pop culture, and history. What did Zora Neale Hurston, Wade Davis, and William Seabrook find when they visited Haiti? How did other Haitian events-- revolution, stigma about voodoo, American occupation in 1915, dictatorships-- shape beliefs and fuel urban legend? How did zombies go from enslaved workers to bloodthirsty plague carriers?

women and femmes under 25 watch this and then watch it again and do whatever you can to get all the way to the end. take a week if you need to. it is mandatory, approachable viewing to understand where feminism has come from and why we need it and why girl dinner and girl math and trad culture is absolutely insidious.
