It’s a great day when I get to teach “The Ski Lodge” episode of Frasier, written by the brilliant @joekeenan.bsky.social, in my television studies course!

Slide with classroom discussion prompt guiding students to detangle the many crossed wires in Frasier’s “The Ski Lodge” episode. Includes diagram with correct answers though circles remain unlabeled as to whom they represent.

Rejected everywhere, staged as a hoax, and finally published in a lesbian sex mag — Sarah Schulman’s “A Short Story About a Penis” has quite a history. Rachel Corbman uncovers its fascinating legacy in Signs’ new issue: check it out here! (sub. req’d):

We said goodbye to my stepdaughter, Amelie, today. In her nineteen years, she traveled the country, beat up many dogs and cat sitters (she was 6 lb), wrote Jed’s book, ate so much string cheese, and served as a reluctant mentor to five younger cat and dog siblings. We’ll miss her very much.

There's been so much publicity about the now-Oscar-winning doc No Other Land being unable to find a U.S. distributor (which is appalling) that some people may not realize it's currently on 100 screens here. In Manhattan you can see it at Film Forum; in Brooklyn it's at Alamo Drafthouse.

This is a trans masc using the terms of his period that made sense to him. I think he’s trying to not misgender his patients who, like him, might not be women now. That’s not how we’d do it now, but have some respect for recently deceased trans elders.

Seeing lots of folks on here not using alt text. Since we're all grappling with how best to respond to a frightening fascist reality, one place to start is with everyday acts of solidarity. Alt text is one thing we can do to increase accessibility & puncture some of that puffed up masculine energy.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
