The Daily Whatever, June 3: Queer History with Wendy the Druid
That thumbnail says it all: we laughed, we cried, it was magical!
Attention, students! School is in session, the library is open, and it is Time. 👏 To. 👏Learn. 👏 Queer. 👏 Herstory. 👏 Periodt. 👏
Wendy🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🌈 the Druid joined Dana DuBois and lil’ ol’ me ( Lawrence Winnerman ) for the first of what we hope are many sessions of schoolwerk.
First of all, Wendy is the owner of ThistleAndMoss.com, a Substack dedicated to—an amazing combo of things: Queerness, Druidic work, politics, poetry, and elevating other Queer voices. Go subscribe now!
And Chat, what didn’t we talk about? Also Chat, what didn’t you talk about? The Daily Whatever is known for having and active and spicy chat, but lo, what wacky things were chatted today. We loved every freaking minute of it! Ask me about my hook-hand attachments and my J-Lube subscription!
Wendy started talking about the genital mutilation of the 1880s (read the harrowing article here), and I begged for lighter fare.
And because Wendy has an arsenal of excellently written, insightful, mostly-uplifting stories, she pulled out this gem:
Honestly, there was so much here, folks. We laughed and cried and shook fists in rage. The show is worth watching in replay, and you are always welcome to come join the fun in the chat!
