SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

Guys, please. I answer this at least once a month.

BL is 'boys love', the Japanese term for m/m content marketed at a presumed female audience.

(Like, it's literally loan words from English, "boizu rabu", not native Japanese words.)

It's the industry term in Japan and has spread to a lot of other Asian countries (though China uses 'danmei'). It's one of the only good terms we have for neutrally indicating m/m content but female audience.

Japan also has geikomi ('gay comics', another loan from English), which are aimed at a presumed cis gay male audience. They tend to be stylistically different, but like BL, they're defined by the target market, not by specific mandatory genre elements aside from m/m.

(Obviously, binary trans people and local versions of nonbinary identity exist in Japan. Actual humans and marketing categories aren't a perfect fit there, just like anywhere else.)

--

Now, Heartstopper does not exist in a market where BL is a developed niche that publishers/studios/networks understand, but it's pretty clearly on the BL side of things, not the cis gay male culture side of things.

Resisting Project 2025's Attacks Queer and Trans Students

What is Project 2025? Project 2025 is a document produced by The Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank, outlining a conservative political plan they hope to see implemented by the next Republican president (now President-Elect Donald Trump).

What does Project 2025 say about education broadly? Project 2025 suggests a wide variety of extreme measures to be taken against progressive values in public schools from promoting "school choice" (policies that, in reality, do not improve student outcomes and make education into a competitive market rather than a public good) to rolling back nondiscrimination regulations to dissolving the Department of Education entirely. Many of Project 2025's proposed policies would leave minoritized students more vulnerable to discrimination in schools and some policies support discrimination against them outright (see below).

What does Project 2025 say about queer and trans rights in school? Project 2025 makes a few proposals and claims regarding gender and sexuality:

Schools should "[reject] gender ideology" in the name of "safeguarding civil rights" (page 322)

Title IX protections (which are in place to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex in educational environments) should be rolled back (page 331)

The attempt to add a "non-binary" option when collecting school data should be rescinded (page 322)

"Sex" under Title IX should be defined to mean "only biological sex recognized at birth" (page 333)

There is "no scientific basis" for the idea that sex should be "redefin[ed]" as "sexual orientation and gender identity," a claim which they don't even attempt to cite a source for (page 333)

Being trans is a "social contagion" that causes young AFAB people to want to mutilate their bodies (pages 345-346)

Schools should forbid public education employees from using their students' preferred names and pronouns without parental consent (page 346)

We might expect to see some sources cited for these bold claims and proposals, but for all forty-five pages of the "Department of Education" section of this document, there are only 19 footnotes.

Project 2025 is an under-researched, ultra-conservative playbook that lays out the groundwork for how we can best discriminate against the most vulnerable members of our communities.

Now that Trump has been elected, what can we do to prepare for and resist Project 2025's proposals for education?

Understand what we're up against: Reading through the document itself is a disheartening process, but if you're in a place to do so, it's worth a try. The authors of Project 2025 tend to be pretty mask-off---they'll tell you all about the harm they intend to do. If you'd prefer not to waste hours of your life reading a document that periodically drops phrases so cringy they might make your soul leave your body (see: "woke diversicrats"), you can just read a summary. The ACLU has a good one that can be accessed here.

Teachers, get active in your union: Project 2025 is explicitly anti-union. It even accuses two of the US's biggest teachers' unions of "promot[ing] radical racial and gender ideologies in schools" (page 342). Working class solidarity is how we achieve the collective power we'll need to fight these policies in our schools. (Here is how the Chicago Teacher's Union is practicing resistance---a case study!)

Build community and support networks: This could mean making a point to talk to a few new people while you're attending a protest, attending school meetings with a group of fellow progressives, breaking up capitalist markets by planning/attending a mutual aid fair, or just chatting and laughing with some friends. The goal of fascism is to make us feel isolated. Don't let them succeed.

Take care of yourself: Project 2025's proposals are scary, especially for people whose very identities are being targeted. Don't let anyone tell you that you're "failing at activism" if you need to take a step back.

Teachers (and parents of minoritized students), assure your students and kids that you are on their side: If you're able, hang up a pride flag in your classroom/house, include an optional question about students' preferred pronouns on your introduction survey, and/or include minoritized authors and history in your classes. Have your students learn about Stonewall, read some short stories by James Baldwin, analyze Audre Lorde's poems, and/or introduce them to your favorite queer/BIPOC/disabled/immigrant authors and thinkers. Representation matters!

Sign the ACLU's petition to stop Project 2025: It's important to show lawmakers that Project 2025's radical and dangerous ideas do not represent what we want for our country.

Donate: The Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, and lots of other civil rights organizations are fighting hard against Project 2025 and the Trump Administration's policy proposals. Consider sending a donation to an organization that aligns with your values.

No matter how hard Trump and his cronies fight, LGBTQ+ people will always exist in our schools. They will never get rid of us and they will never drown out our voices. We will always demand to be safe, accepted, and included and we will win.

The Old GMMTV Challenge: The Master Post and Explainer

Updated: December 2, 2024

Hello! Welcome to The Old GMMTV Challenge (OGMMTVC), my personal syllabus and journey through the most important, and/or impactful, and/or seminal of Boys Love (BL)/Series Y dramas from Thailand.

I started watching Thai BL series in 2022 with the airing of KinnPorsche. From there, I dallied with shows that were referenced across Tumblr -- but I didn't dig into learning about the genre as a whole until I watched 2021-22's Bad Buddy, and was thoroughly moved by it in countless ways.

I subsequently learned that Bad Buddy was, in large part, constructed to communicate with tropes and expectations established previously by the genre. In order to get to a point where I could appreciate Bad Buddy in all of its historic glory, I therefore decided to start from the top -- to watch Thai BLs in chronological order so as to help me better understand the tentacles of this young genre. I was also impacted by a post from a BL Tumblr lifer, @absolutebl, who talked in 2022 about current shows by the GMMTV network, the biggest producer of BL dramas in Thailand, that were answering for mistakes made in the early Thai BL days.

Bad Buddy is a GMMTV show -- but in order to learn fully about the genre, I've created a syllabus of shows and movies that spans well outside the GMMTV network and sphere of influence. In the spring of 2023, I crowdsourced information about Thai BLs from the INCREDIBLE BL community on Tumblr, and came up with the syllabus below.

This syllabus is ever changing, especially as this young genre (which was arguably born in 2014 with the airing of Love Sick) continues to explore itself outside of its male-and-male romance genre boundaries, by centering women and/or non-binary individuals, and even leaving romance behind for horror, suspense, mystery, crime, and more.

Besides watching dramas on this syllabus, I'm also in the process of reading English-language books and articles about the Thai BL genre and its influences in Thailand and across Asia on queer and non-queer communities, as well as on the most marketed-to BL audience in young women. Links to reading materials are below the syllabus.

If you're looking to learn more about BL, this is but one resource to use. There's an incredible community of bloggers here with vastly more knowledge than me about the history of this genre. This is only my path, and I encourage you to explore the corners of Tumblr to create your own Thai BL journey!

Sourcing food in biotech  factories requires a reorganization of the food system to be highly centralized, arranged into corporate-mediated value chains flowing from industrial processing facilities. To my mind that is exactly the corporate industrial food chain model at the root of so many of our current problems. We don’t want the food system concentrated in the hands of less and bigger corporations. Such a concentrated food system  is unfair,  extractive, easy to monopolize and  very vulnerable to external shocks  - which we are going to see more of in our unfolding century of crisis. Consider which food system is more likely to fall over in the face of climate catastrophe, dictatorship  or cyberattack: - a handful of large electrically dependent food brewers  or a distributed network of millions of small farms and local food relationships  spread across diverse landscapes? Which brings us to Chris’s other central premise in ‘Saying No to a Farm-free Future’ - the one that George does attempt a partial response to. Chris argues that the way to organise food to survive in the face of climate crisis is to withdraw away from the corporate controlled industrial agrifood chain  and attempt instead  to put power back into the distributed local ‘food web’ of small growers, local markets and peasant-type production . This ‘food web’ may sound  ‘backwards’ to modernist global north sensibilities of someone like George but it is what still characterizes much of  the food systems of the global South. It is also better suited to our times of crisis and challenge. Strengthening food webs is not a “one stop” bold  breakthrough. Rather its a distributed social process of ‘muddling through’ together  in diverse and different ways that are at best  agroecological and collective, culturally and ecologically tailored to different geographies. The food web (or ‘agrarian localism’ as Chris terms it) can’t be summed up in one shiny totemic widget. It doesn’t fit  a formulaic  “stop this, go that” campaign binary (“stop eating meet , go plant-based”).   Leaning into the complexities of  local agroecological diverse food webs is maddeningly  unsellable as a soundbite.  George presents agrarian localism as a ‘withdrawal’  but its more in the gesture of “staying with the trouble” - a phrase feminist scholar Donna Harraway so brilliantly coined to dismiss  big, male, over simplistic technocratic solutionists who claim to have the ‘one big answer’ to our global polycrisis. (sound familiar?). Staying with the trouble and leaning into food webs means embracing a messy politics of relationship, nuance, context, complexity and co-learning. It means a single clever journalist sitting in Oxford can’t dream up a cracking saviour formula all by himself in the space of a 2 year book project. . its why (and how) we build movements - to figure this stuff out collectively. So relax - take off the armour - make friends.

This reminds me that I have to answer @wintercorrybriea’s ask which was brilliant and very perceptive, linking Vincent in Collateral to a destructive instrument of light in the post-industrial network of global cities whose neon frontier has eroded at the very boundary between Day and Night, Form and Content. If there is no longer a shadow in which to retreat, one can stay hidden only by continuing to move; if the only binding text is the black market contract, illumination (interpretation) is achieved not by exegesis so much as imposed via laser sight. Mann loves symbolically fulminating on the immobility of people relative to the the limitless playgrounds of capital that have, by way of this Faustian market transaction, imprisoned them. And how better to represent that visually than with the digital medium and the intrinsic irony of its capture, sharpening the suffusions and diffusions of photochemistry into binary data points, the perennial glow of LA’s headlights and sodium lamps into a series of ones and zeroes.

The Royal Blue Network

The Royal Blue Network is an LGBTQIA story telling site with the main objective of inspiring the creation of quality queer content. For to long, thanks to how expensive it is to make television shows, LGBT content has been forced into a box to appease non-LGBT folks. Quality Queer content has been canceled due to poor marketing, low ratings, and Hollywood’s failure to see the potential in catering to the LGBT+ community. But RBN knows better, RBN understands the need for quality, queer representation, and how impactful such content can be. So RBN has taken it upon itself to create that content; quality queer content that will go on to inspire even more queer content. RBN seeks to tell stories of Women Loving Women and Men Loving Men relationships. RBN seeks to tell stories with queer and trans/non binary folks as main characters, and experiences of the queer community as main storylines. So if this sounds like something you’d enjoy!

He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

So I'm pretty sure Leonard McCoy hasn't reappeared much in modern Star Trek is that they genuinely don't know how to handle his and Spock's acrimonious relationship in the Current Racial Climate.

Or, well. They don't know how to handle it in an appropriately marketable way.

I can appreciate that TPTB are in an awkward position with him. I'd say they were deranged if they tried to transplant the original scripts 1:1. The original Star Trek was written in a fever dream of homage, creativity, and network meddling that you'd be hard-pressed to recreate today. It was also created for a completely different audience. Continuity was more of a suggestion and worldbuilding was largely sketched in by feelings over fact.

For example--there is the distinct feeling throughout TOS that Vulcans are superior to humans. How else could the identity of the Romulans be a secret, or basic Vulcan cultural practices? How else could T'Pau elbow into Starfleet command with one word? But that doesn't quite square up with the other actual facts--Starfleet is clearly not prepared for non-human crewmembers and doesn't support them. Spock's isolation speaks for itself. Later Trek canon establishing things like Section 31 only tightens the focus on humans.

Now, we know that out-of-universe factors like budget or the need for quick weekly drama (or deus ex machina) dictated this. They didn't have the budget for other alien regulars, they needed to produce an episodic series where you could drop right in and know who was what in five minutes, etc. We know all this. Undeniably, though, it helps shape a setting where McCoy sniping at Spock feels more sinister.

Personally (and I stress me, personally, and I fully expect other people to feel differently) when it comes to series that have had some kind of large cultural shift over time I like to favor original intent. With that one episode with the racism anger machine, the writers (awkwardly) made it clear that racism is something different from whatever the fuck McCoy and Spock have going on. That it was written by white guys in the 60s projecting a binary fairy tale version of racism is...not to be forgotten, let's say, but I don't think it entirely defeats the point here, either.

(Or rather, I don't think it entirely defeats the point in a way that's not consistent with the rest of Star Trek as a whole. If you like Star Trek at all you've probably come to some complex middle ground in your head where you enjoy it by reminding yourself, "it was 60/30/20 years ago, standards were different then.")

I'm on the record of thinking that this is a solvable dilemma; you just need a writer with a deft hand who understands the thorny waters they're navigating here. You could foreground that Spock and McCoy mutually talk the most deranged shit to one another (remember that Spock frequently accuses McCoy of killing crewmembers in their bitch sessions), re-center McCoy's trash talk to be more methods-focused than something that reads as racial hate, make it a plot point that neither of them talks to anyone else like this--it's a solvable problem.

But you know what's way easier, cheaper, and less risky? Mothballing the character, which is more or less what they have done since 2009.

And honestly, from what I've seen of modern Trek, I kinda don't trust them with the necessary delicacy here...
