Jules Gill-Peterson! New merch! HRT but the H stands for hedgehog?

Hey friends,

Hope you’re hanging in there and also wearing your mask! Maybe it’s just a fluke that I know ten people with covid right now (or like seven if you think that knowing of Patti Harrison doesn’t count as knowing her, for example), but wow it sure seems like there’s a lot of covid out there! Good thing we are doing so much to stop the spread and keep each other safe hahahahahahahhaha jk.

Luckily, there’s one bright spot in yet another weird week, and that bright spot is Jules Gill-Peterson. You may have already seen that many people really love this episode! (Yes, those are all different links.) So rather doing our usual list of stuff we talked about, I’m going to let those reviews do the work. (And speaking of reviews — we rarely ask this, but would you mind leaving us one in your podcast app, if that’s an option?)

We’ve also got merch fully restocked for July, featuring three new designs and the return of two iconic Niko Stratis creations: Surf Tanks and Trains Flag Mugs. You can see the whole collection here.

Photo ID: An old picture of Tuck leaning against a railing and flashing a peace sign, wearing the iconic hot pink Surf Don't TERF tank top. 

Next week on the show, we’ve got pro-wrestling icon Edith Surreal!!!!! I know nothing about wrestling but I think we made a cute episode anyway, regardless of your personal level of expertise.

Alright, it’s time for Links & Stuff.

• Someone asked me a gender-language question on twitter and then they sent this emu witchcraft video as payment and I think it’s a fair trade.
  
• Here’s a long read on dismantling medical fatphobia and/or a very short, bitterly funny Online-Quiz-As-Art also about fatphobia.
  
• If you have NYT access (boooo NYT), here’s a cute little profile. If you don’t have access, I mostly just wanted you to see her rad style anyway.

Photo ID: A headline reads "She Inspired 'A League of Their Own.' At 95, She's Far From Done."  Next to the text is a photo of a white woman sitting in a theater, wearing a baseball jersey and what looks like ski or snowboarding googles. She is holding a cane that looks like a baseball bat. 

• I have not actually read Eater’s three-part series on Blue Hill at Stone Barns but am recommending it based on Jaya’s endorsement and what I’ve read of the first part.
  
• An evolutionary biologist tries to explain how the Minions might.... exist.
  
• Where can I get Sonic t-gel????
  
• Wishing you a very Big Boy Grillin’ on the Roof weekend.

That’s all for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb, taken as usual by my roommate. 

Photo ID: A photo taken from far above, looking down on Ruby. She is laying on a porch railing and looking directly up into the camera.
