Today's episode covers the 1940s All American Girls Professional Baseball League, and the 2022 television series based on it, A League of Their Own.

Join us for a discussion featuring shoes deemed "excessively masculine-looking", perhaps too many women named Dottie, and more "close, life-long friends and roommates" than you can shake a stick at.

Nooooooo !! I'm so bummed, Google podcasts suck more than it used to but it's still good I can't listen to @queerasfact on Spotify (which I share with my dad) and I can't download it unless I share the account with him ,,, does anyone have podcast app recommendations???

I need one with queer as fact and no such thing as a fish at least

So qaf says that in order to get a really genuine Achilles and Patroclus relationship it would need to be adapted by a queer person and I agree with that but I also disagree with the idea that doing it non romantically would be queer baiting. Because I think there’s a lot of room to make something uncomfortable for straight people without it needing to be super ass gay. And honestly I think that’s what an adaptation needs. It needs to make straight people uncomfortable and to a degree I would like it to make allo gay people uncomfortable. it needs to make people ask “what is this?” And I think I would be happiest if Troy 2025 was written by an arospec person.

#queer as fact liveblog #queer as fact #Troy 2025 is not real #ofc if it makes allo gay people uncomfortable it would most likely be accused of queerbaiting bc of the way allo people work #hell. look at good omens

Listening to @queerasfact's episode about Elke Mackenzie, a trans woman who went to Antarctica in the 1940's.

Eli, the presenting host: "She was a lyconolgist."

Me: "WHAT?!? ARE YOU SAYING LYCON LIKE WEREWOLVES??"

Eli: "She was a botonist, specializing in lichens."

Me: "OH."

Eli: "Can I just say I am disappointed she didn't study werewolves?"

Me: "Same, Eli, same!"

Media rec: Queer as Fact

This is another note on sources and information! A lot of my cursory research comes from podcasts and archived material, the two types of media which are easily accessible at my workplace. My current podcast that I’ve been listening to is @queerasfact, as the literature reviews are extremely helpful and the podcast has a lot of basic information and further reading that I can do. It’s also very nuanced, and even when I’ve disagreed with the hosts, I’ve found their ideas to be reasonable and well thought out. I would highly recommend this podcast if you’re getting more into queer history but don’t know where to start. 

While I don’t believe most people have such easy access to archives, podcasts are one of the most easily available forms of information on the internet, and this one is pretty trustworthy. Once I finish going through the backlog, I will most likely recommend another queer podcast. 

Other ways to find easily accessed material are any university website, which will have at least some digitized content, worldcat, and jstor. Jstor is pretty pricy if you don’t have a university backing you up, but it is the best way I’ve found to do research.

Hope you don’t mind me asking but do you have a hiatus in terms of airing episodes? I notice that you normally do fortnightly episodes (from what I’ve noticed on the air dates), and sometimes the odd extra episode - anyway if you are on hiatus I hope you have a lovely break 🥰, if not all good - as I’ve said before your podcasts are a real treat

Thank you for your question!

Our current schedule involves doing one episode each, released twice a month for 4 episodes total, then taking a month off to recharge and research. This makes for 16 episodes per year, with our next episode intended to release on September 1st.

This has changed over time as our lives and schedules get busier and will in all likelihood change again at some point in the future! In the meantime, expect 4 episodes from Sep 1st to October 15th.

I'm so obsessed with how much information and developed insight these people share in a relatively small amount of time. I loved listening to this conversation about one of the shows I've fallen in love with

@queerasfact my mixed scholarly bag has been accompanying me on errands today, it is perfect for my mixed not-so-scholarly pursuits

So.... In honor of the two month break, I redesigned the logo. I've always thought it was kinda bland. Otherwise, we should consider that this might be the beginning of the end. QAF has done alot for me personally, and for Queer history generally, but change comes for us all.

i started listening to queer as fact the other day after seeing their post about lorca and even though i wanted to listen to them in order i skipped a bunch to hear the lorca one and i have thoughts

#queer as fact #pretty cool podcast i'm addicted to it lol #i started listening to the episodes yesterday and i've listened to 9 for now lol #well 10 if you count the lorca one tbh #i'm about to start the john maynard keynes one!! #about the lorca one... i honestly couldn't have resumed his life in an hour lol #i understand that the focus of the video was his relationship with dali so they didn't focus on his like activism and politics #and his involvement in the republic which explains better why he was shot and stuff #but yeah #i also didn't know dalí was probably ace so yay for that!! #dalí was an awful person but it's nice to see i have representation in my own country i guess??? #also about lorca #i would've loved if they had talked about the repercussions of his death #like he became a martyr for the republican party #in fact there was this other writer called miguel hernández (check him out cause he had a very tragic life and he deserves to be remembered #he wasn't queer tho #anyways he was also a writer very politically involved with the republic #but he wasn't shot cause the fascists didn't want to create another martyr #so they just imprisoned him for life (he died there) #in fact there's this poem he wrote in honour of lorca and it makes me cry everytime #anyways lorca is still view as a martyr and a symbol of the ii republic and republicanism in spain #he is also a symbol for all of those bodies of (mostly) republicans killed during the civil war that were just thrown into ditches #that are still to be recuperated to this day #it's a huge issue cause keep in mind spain is a very religious country especially back in the day #so people not beeing able to give proper burial to their sons or brothers or friends was huge #and there's still people looking for their parents or uncles or siblings etc #just so you know how huge this is the other day a ditch was found with over 5000 bodies in andalusia #i think it was in granada (where lorca was from) so yeah #nazis won the war so they didn't care for republicans basically #ALSO if you want to cry
