This film about a lesbian PE teacher at the time of Section 28 sounds interesting but painful.

Also, the book mentioned, 'Outrageous!: The Story of Section 28 and Britain's Battle for LGBT Education' by Paul Baker, is great.

For anyone not in the UK: PE = physical education. Section 28 was a notorious homophobic law passed in the 80s, repealed in the 00s.

I have belatedly got around to noting that I've been talking and listening to some lovely people about interesting things over the past months.

I've heard, for example, a terrific #FolkloreSociety #KatharineBriggs lecture by #KatherineLangrish on stories. I look forward to revisiting it when it finally makes print.

I've also had some lovely chats which have now finally made it into podcasts. I can't quite believe no one's been using a #Polari HT, but my chat with the splendid #PaulBaker on his book about it is now included as part of a @thefolklorepodcast episode.

I also talked (and sang) #cannibalism with the lovely people at Casting Lots: A Survival Cannibalism Podcast, which was a lot of fun.
