Exposing the Holes: An Annual Pride Show

Today, another issue from the feminist journal Urania (wiki link, published from 1919-1940). I am so glad the Women’s Library at the London School of Economics published Urania online in 2023 so that a journal with a small circulation (aroud 250 copies) could reach new audiences in 2025.

This week I am reading the double issue Nos. 51 & 52 , May-August 1925 (pdf). It includes "Why We Marry," "Motor Psychology," and "Population Growth."

All events mentioned are pulled directly from the QBurgh calendar.

This episode is for goth people without gender. Today I talked to friend of the show Mike about the book Sabriel and I also spoke to Victoria Ratliff from The White Lotus. Huge shout out to Xaz as the Ghost of Xmas Past. We have made it halfway through pride month. This episode resembles the inside of my mind. #society

🚨SPOILERS WITHIN🚨 Today I am talking to myself in a quiet room about the instant trans classic I Saw The TV Glow (2024) by Jane Schoenbrun. The other movies I plan to cover this month also have spoilers in-episode but since this one JUST came out, I want to make everyone is aware of their risk of engaging here.

Here's the trailer for the movie, which tbh gives more info than I would personally want beforehand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kymDzCgPwj0

I am very pleased to share an issue of Urania (wiki link, published from 1919-1940), a feminist journal aimed at abolishing the gender binary. It is composed of poems, pieces of news, letters, and opinions about the importance (or non importance) of a person's assigned sex to their personalities and their lives.

This week I am reading Issue No. 19, January-February 1920 (pdf). It includes "Morality of Draft" and "Pioneers in Suffrage Cause."
