Hello dear friends,

We start today off with a very casual chat about the books we’re reading. Jasmine is currently devouring Kokomo by Victoria Hannan and Maggie is gobbling up Dolly Alderton’s Ghosts. 

From November 13–18, it was Trans Awareness Week. Maggie attended a great talk with Minus 18 and Zoe Terakes and we also found this post on trans terminology super helpful.

We then dive into Sia’s newly released trailer for her film Music. We look at why this has caused the autistic community so much hurt, as we draw from Twitter’s hashtags #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs and #ActuallyAutistic. This post by @neurodifferent was really insightful for breaking down ableist euphemisms.

Jasmine recommends season four of The Crown and fawns over Princess Di’s outfits and you can see even more of her iconic looks in this article by Daisy Murray for Elle UK. Maggie recommends “'Intimate terrorism': why the murders of Hannah, Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey must spark change” by Madonna King for The Age. A trigger warning for this one as it deals with issues of abuse and domestic violence. 

Please reach out to Lifeline, Safe Steps, Sexual Assault Crisis Line, 1800 My Options or 1800Respect if you or a loved one needs support.

Our jingle, editing and production is by India Raine. You can email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.

Endless love,

Maggie and Jasmine x
