This week, we introduce a new segment named “What’s the tea, Ivy?” where Ivy updates us on recent Tik Tok and media industry drama. She tells us all about the hidden conflict surrounding new movie Don’t Worry Darling, Netflix’s Bridgerton lawsuits, and pious adaptations of musicals Hamilton and The Greatest Showman. We then discuss the Ancient Greek poetess, Sappho, exploring how male and female scholars’ perspectives of the ambiguous figure differ and analyse verses that became the reason why the queer term ‘sapphic’ was derived from her name.
