Today's archival work: helping to create the finding aid for recordings tied to Australian gay lib/gay rights movements (late 70s to mid-80s). These tapes are radio programs recording conference plenaries, poetry readings, debates, radio plays and performances.

(Downside: I emerged covered in mold spores- not all tapes are in great condition).

#ClassWarfare must only play a role in the fight for liberation. #TransLiberation, #GayLiberation, liberation of all peoples facing a multitude of issues outside of class must take place if we are to build a better, fairer #society.

Nearing the end of this brilliant book. A worthwhile read for anyone interested in hearing a diversity of radical perspectives on gay liberation, many of which were sidelined in the shift to respectability.

In the collection of #GayLiberation
texts that I'm reading at the moment, there's a piece on 'male chauvinism.'

Author talks about masc #gay subcultures, using leathermen (and bars) as an example in the US. Then remarks- apropos of nothing- that at the same time, (70s) #Japan had masc gay bars where men dressed up in "full 17th-18th century samurai dress".

Anyone heard of this? Was this an actual thing? An orientalist invention? An odd take on Mishima?
