The Intersection of Things episodes
- Episode 8: PrideHow is YouTube censoring trans creators? What’s up with gay dating apps and the concept of anonymity? What is ‘homo-nationalism’ and how are the military and spy agencies encouraging it, despite their past? Our #Pride episode is bursting with knowledge as we talk all things being Queer on the Internet.There’s a lot of room for our joy too, when we geek out over Queer Eye, Hannah Gadsby, Steven Universe, Sense8, the Getting Curious podcast, and how the web made possible the queer representation that’s making our lives better. Plus: Facebook’s real name policies, pronouns, rainbow-washing and Victorian lesbians.Footnotes: https://www.theintersectionofthings.com/episodes/ep8-prideFIND US!Intersection of Things: @thingsintersectwww.theintersectionofthings.comRuth Coustick-Deal: @nesientMarianela Ramos Capelo: @undazedandsuch59 min
- Episode 7: LibrariesAre libraries still relevant and revolutionary in the digital age? What does it mean to be a ‘radical librarian’? What role can public spaces play in resisting surveillance, or must they be complicit? Plus, the projects making us excited about these local community spaces one again, and a discussion of information-sorting ethics. We interview library worker and advocate Ian Clark for his insight on all these questions and more.Footnotes: www.theintersectionofthings.com/episodes/ep7-librariesFIND US!Intersection of Things: @thingsintersectwww.theintersectionofthings.comRuth Coustick-Deal: @nesientMarianela Ramos Capelo: @undazedandsuch47 min
