#111: Garlic, Gay Anthems, Gender bans

The internet has gifted Myf and Zan this week, with shortcuts to cooking glory and cat filters for days.

God love her.Show notes:Pakistani politician’s cat filter: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-18/cat-filter-left-on-during-pakistani-politician-press-conference/11219250Garlic peeling video: https://twitter.com/VPestilenZ/status/1140437217619390465?s=19What’s lost when a subculture goes pop: https://www.vulture.com/2019/06/drag-race-inc-whats-lost-when-a-subculture-goes-pop.htmlHow to write a gay pop anthem: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a28038812/why-some-gay-songs-anthems-bad/The queasy double message of Taylor Swift’s message: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/06/taylor-swift-you-need-calm-down-hijacks-queerness/591829/ITV bans all-male comedy teams: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48668652?fbclid=IwAR0KWHeQuNpaXqu8b9uJBejtklYsNgAhZ5HkS-XyuVlEiiaIr__DKSaWCJQGender stereotypes banned in UK advertising: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/14/style/uk-gender-stereotype-ads-ban.htmlJohn Grant’s Love is Magic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qtTidRF2V0The Book of Bitch: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/other-books/The-Book-of-Bitch-Ailie-Banks-9781760529659Email us: [email protected]
