History of the Word "Doll"
Coming soon, Life Through a Queer Lens dives into the history of the word Doll as slang within the LGBTQIA+ community. We start with the days of Paris is Burning, all the way to modern uses of the word, and how slang evolves throughout the decades.

The Commemorative Memorial Stones at Buchenwald, former block 45
The grounds of Buchenwald have become a place of learning our collective history, so we dare not repeat it, and commemorating those lost to the Holocaust. One group of memorials, located in the former block 45 of Buchenwald, is the Commemorative Stones, placed by members of the communities being mourned and memorialized.
To learn more about this and other memorials that utilize the Pink Triangle, along with 70+ other episodes diving into LGBTQIA+ culture, history, and activism, check out the link in our bio or look for Life Through a Queer Lens on your favorite podcast listening platforms.

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop
On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:
Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.
My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."
She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.
And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.
And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.
If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.
She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.
Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.

The Scientific Method
We often discuss our reasons for sharing frequently overlooked pieces of history. Still, above all else, it's about giving our queer-ancestors their flowers, no matter how long overdue they might be.
Episode 71 is all about giving Sir Francis Bacon, inventor of the Scientific Method, his flowers. While just about every college graduate of the STEM variety knows his name, few know the truth behind who he loved and how his identity interwove into his life trajectory.
