    Ferns are sometimes used for for remediating contaminated soil.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fern

     

     

    So as far as I can tell, ancient people thought that fern seeds were invisible (in truth they're spores and too tiny for the human eye to see) and that started a whole thing through the ages of people thinking that the fern seed would make you invisible.

  • #F60 (fender bender to fenny) ft. Linda Parks

    I read from fender bender to fenny and my mom, Linda, pops in for a bit. 

    You can still buy her book about organizing on Amazon:

    Here's the "vein" episode on "Ologies".

    As one would obviously guess, fenestration is "the creation of a window in the vestibule or in the lateral semicircular canal, allowing the transmission of sound waves from the middle ear to the perilymph."

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8174851/

     

     

    The Fianna date back probably thousands of years, but the Fenian go back "only" a couple hundred years.

  • #F58 (female to femme fatale) ft. Rebecca Martin Fagerholm

    https://oldfilmsflicker.substack.com/subscribe

     

    Rebecca mentioned this documentary "The Brink of Dreams"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA9v0TyWS4I

     

     

    I mean, what can be said about "Female Genital Mutilation".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation

    https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/female-genital-mutilation

     

     

    The film "Tight" mentioned by Rebecca:

    https://vimeo.com/1024532689

     

     

    I couldn't find the exact quote Rebecca was talking about with men and healthcare but Gloria Steinem is quoted as saying "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." There have been other quotes from other people along the same lines. 

    https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/17/gloria-steinem-activist-interview-memoir-my-life-on-the-road

     

     

    I think many people would find it hard to argue against this statement: "Feminism holds the position that modern societies are patriarchal—they prioritize the male point of view—and that women are treated unjustly in these societies."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

     

     

    Carina's episode was #E151 where we talked about estrogen and more. 

     

     

    Some say Cleopatra was a Femme Fatale.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_fatale

     

     

    The word of the episode is "feminazi".
