“Scholars of today’s prevailing feminist theory and its adjunct, queer theory, call for questioning all categories, disrupting gender binaries, halting separations; and women have been a casualty. After some acrimonious debate, Georgetown changed the name of its women’s studies program to Women’s and Gender Studies, hoping to attract more majors, and to appeal to those students who were male or trans-identified: worthy goals, but suggesting that a focus on women alone is no longer relevant or sustainable.

The change was made after a semester of studying the issue together, during which one professor declared (to an all-female faculty gathering) that she taught her students there was no such thing as a woman. Another colleague amended, “And aren’t all of us here to destabilize and problematize the concept of woman?”

As we went around the room and introduced our areas of research, I explained that my own specialization was history—what women have done, regardless of how they are identified now—to which someone responded, ‘There’s already too much history offered here.” But another colleague whispered, ‘God! After all the struggle to get women taken seriously as a research subject …’”

Sappho's Bar and Grill duology by Bonnie J. Morris

(Sappho's Bar and Grill, Sappho's Overhead Projector)

Lonely women's history professor Hannah Stern walks into her local lesbian bar one winter night, seeking love advice from her old friend and bartender, Isabel. "Women's history will be my date this year!" Hannah raises her glass in sarcastic tribute, resigned to life as a scholar, but her remark sets in motion a wild, sexy-smart romp through time. Much to her astonishment, Hannah soon finds herself meeting up with the actual figures and foremothers she assigns her college students to learn about. She's caught in a time-travel vortex: one that seemingly emanates from Sappho's Bar and Grill.

What are these figures of the past trying to tell Hannah? What wisdom do they share? Given the opportunity to ask her feminist role models questions about their lives and viewpoints, what will Hannah say? More importantly, will she find romance with women who loved women in the past? Or will she take a chance on her old friend Isabel, whose drinks and potions seem to hold the secret of time travel itself?

I would suggest picking a book that sounds interesting and using the footnotes and bibliography to find more to read. I've done that a lot :) a lot of my books have more sticky tabs or w/e in the bibliography than in the text so I don't lose stuff I'm interested in.

Hope this helps!

'Smallville,’ ‘Saved by the Bell’ Stars Plus Levi Next Celebrity Wave at FAN EXPO Philadelphia

If fans thought that FAN EXPO Philadelphia was bringing the best celebrity lineup ever to the City of Brotherly Love, just wait until they see today's wave of guests announced for the event, set for June 2-4 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Eight headliners from popular shows and films keep the list growing, as Tom Welling, Kristen Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum (“Smallville”); Mark-Paul Gosselar and Mario Lopez (“Saved the Bell”); Giancarlo Esposito (“Mandalorian”); Zachary Levi (Shazam!); and Hayden Christensen (Star Wars franchise) join a roster already brimming with standouts from across the pop culture world.

Welling is probably best known for his role as “Clark Kent” in "Smallville.” He has also played “Lt. Marcus Pierce / Cain” in “Lucifer” and “’Karate Rob’ Meltzer” in “Judging Amy” and has had roles in the films Cheaper by the Dozen, The Fog, Draft Day and The Choice.

Kreuk appeared on "Smallville" as Clark's original love interest, “Lana Lang” and was also featured as “Catherine Chandler” in The CW sci-fi series "Beauty & the Beast" and as “Joanna Hanley” in the CBC legal drama series "Burden of Truth."

Rosenbaum starred in the role of “Lex Luthor” on "Smallville" and most recently as the character “Buddy Dobbs” on the TV Land series "Impastor." He is also known for voicing “Wally West / The Flash” on the popular animated series "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited."

Gosselar first gained acclaim for his role as “Zack Morris” on the teen comedy “Saved by the Bell,” before longtime roles in “NYPD Blue,” “Raising the Bar” and “Franklin & Bash.” He was also the co-lead in the baseball-themed series “Pitch” and recently had a two-season run as the father “Paul Johnson” in the ABC series “Mixed-ish.”

Lopez also got his start on “Saved by the Bell,” then had long runs on the beach police drama “Pacific Blue” and the soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” He is known to a whole new audience as the host of the syndicated newsmagazines “Access Hollywood” and “Extra.”

The prolific veteran film, television and stage actor, director and producer Esposito, in addition to his role as “Moff Gideon” on the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian,” is well known by television audiences for his iconic portrayal of drug kingpin “Gus Fring” in AMC’s critically acclaimed award-winning series “Breaking Bad.”

Levi took a superhero turn in the title role of 2019’s Shazam! among a busy resume that features more than 70 roles in such popular series as “Chuck,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Less than Perfect.” He lent his voice talents to the full run of “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure” and has more than a dozen other voice credits supplementing his body of work.

Christensen starred as “Anakin Skywalker” in the Star Wars prequels Episode II - Attack of the Clones in 2002 and Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in 2005. He’s had lead roles in the films Jumper and Shattered Glass and has appeared in more than 30 other series and movies.

The eight blend nicely into a slate which includes icon Michael J Fox, his Back to the Future costars Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson; Henry Winkler (“Happy Days,” “Barry”); Christina Ricci (“The Addams Family,” “Wednesday”); Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Spider-Man); “Arrow” stars Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards; “Punisher” standout Jon Bernthal; “Daredevil” headliners Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox; “Stranger Things” breakouts Joseph Quinn and Grace Van Dien; Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Rudy); Peter Weller (Robocop, Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension); Katee Sackhoff (“The Mandalorian,” “Battlestar Galactica); and Bonnie Wright (Harry Potter).

Advanced Tickets for FAN EXPO Philadelphia are on sale through May 18 at www.fanexpophiladelphia.com, with discounts on individual day, 3-day and Ultimate Fan Packages available for adults, youths and families. VIP packages are also available now, with dozens of special benefits including priority entry, limited edition collectibles, exclusive items and much more.

Additional celebrities, voice actors, creators, cosplayers exhibitors and programming for this major comics, sci-fi, horror, literary, anime and gaming convention will be announced closer to the event.

Philadelphia is the eighth event on the 2023 FAN EXPO HQ calendar; the full schedule is available at fanexpohq.com/home/events/.

Having a tent of our own brought Jewish women from all over the world into daily discussions; women from Israel, Italy, New Zealand, and England offered workshops on every topic from how to daven with t'fillin to raising adopted children as Jews... I helped set up everything from a ketubah-signing ceremony for two blushing brides to a ritual for a survivor of sexual abuse. Tears of joy and pride flowed when a young bat mitzvah girl stood up during the Shabbat service to thank her two moms for raising her without prejudice. Often a much older woman, denied access to Torah learning as a young girl, finally got her chance to sing the blessing at our gathering; one year a Deaf student from the Jewish Theological Seminary led us in a sign-language Shabbat. Every single woman had strong feelings about how Shabbat should be structured, and it was nothing short of hilarious to hear nude anarchists insist on traditional, male-pronoun blessings. I observed that even those festiegoers ready for a radical transformation of planetary patriarchy recoiled from the challenge of hearing a familiar blessing upgraded to "God, She."

Bonnie J. Morris on Jewish women at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival in The Disappearing L: Erasure of Lesbian Spaces and Culture

[universitybookstore]

Celebrate Women’s History Month with Women’s History: specifically, The Feminist Revolution: The Struggle for Women’s Liberation by Bonnie J. Morris and D-M Withers, it covers the recent history from the formation of the National Organization for Women in 1966 to present; available now from Smithsonian Books.

[rosalaevigata-blog1]

In creating a longitudinal festival journal before women had computers, blogs, Twitter, or Facebook, I ended up with an archive of how self-worth developed in a marginalized community. At the start of the 1980s, gay and lesbian Americans were still citizens without rights; felons, vulnerable to the random application of state sodomy laws. These laws were upheld by the Supreme Court’s Bowers v. Hardwick decision in 1986, the same summer I began group journaling at fests. Many lesbian mothers had already lost their kids to ugly custody battles; others lost their jobs, or their housing. My own girlfriend in 1986 was a single mother, unceremoniously evicted from her apartment along with her five-year-old son in the middle of an upstate New York winter when their landlady complained about “the kinds of friends” they attracted. I knew more women than I could count who were survivors of rape, street harassment, workplace harassment. Yet at festivals, as women wrote to me over and over, they felt safe. They could walk freely at night, unafraid. They understood that their lives, beliefs, and primary relationships had value. During that one week or two each summer, that annual semicolon of dignity, they “recharged” for the fresh onslaught of challenges to come in the new year. Festivals also offered them glimpses of how society could be. As one woman wrote, “Each year I am reminded of what I need to know to live a woman-centered life, and I take that knowledge back home and attempt to maintain this centeredness for fifty-one weeks until I can return and be nourished again.”

The Disappearing L: Erasure of Lesbian Spaces and Culture by Bonnie J. Morris

[leministfesbian]

“Listening to the terms most popular among students at this celebration — identities including queer, gay, bi, trans, or ally — I realized they were all either gender-neutral or male-inclusive. These terms embraced masculine possibilities, or relationships with men, in ways that lesbian of course did not. ‘Lesbian’ was the one identity that suggested an orientation toward women alone. The L identity thus stood out as separatist, even to students who were personally unfamiliar with the complex lesbian separatist movement of the 1970s and ’80s.

Put differently, to be L was to ignore men, which easily translated into hating men, the worst possible media image for a female activist or for a progressive looking to build alliances with other threatened minorities. While Georgetown students are both image conscious and media savvy, this backing away from the L word isn’t just happening at Georgetown’s LGBT Center. Because lesbian now seems rigid in its exclusion of males (and/or transwomen), hence oppressive, the L has been remaindered in the bin of LGBT visibility.”

[morrigan-sims]

listen, morri, i've never read any of Sarah J. Maas books ( bc i love myself ) but ACOTAR pissed me off SOLELY from the fact of Tam Lin. Tam Lin is a character from a Scottish ballad and he was a GHOST who got trapped in the fairy world ( or the Otherworld: yes, it's actually called that in English ) by the Queen who was gonna sacrifice him to the devil and there's like 3 versions of it but in the version i read, there was a woman named Bonny Janet who saved him from the place he was trapped in and THAT is the only reason why i refuse to read her shitty books

That is very valid. Very, very valid. PLEASE RESEARCH THE CULTURAL SHIT YOU"RE GOING TO USE BEFORE YOU USE IT.

there's no way she can't have chosen the name Tam Lin and not known it was from a legend. Like, she had to have known. And this is like the exact opposite, because this Tam Lin is the one keeping people trapped. Which is fucked up.

A victim of his own anger, the Kid is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia. But another musician, Morris, looks to steal the Kid’s spotlight — and his girl. Credits: TheMovieDb.
