- My favourite moment from this episode was Katherine learning this 2,000+ year old story about Mitra and Varuna, a pair of Hindu deities symbolic of intimate male friendship, who ejaculated into the same pot and co-fathered two sons together. Queer history can be bizarre and beautiful sometimes 🌈
- "This intersection of queer history and disability history hasn't just always existed, but has always been instrumental in the progression of our rights. By not seeking out these stories [...] we risk missing out on all the lessons that those before us have taught." tinyurl.com/4f8cx52z

- Can't recommend this article enough - so well-written and researched. What really struck me was how the queer story extends beyond Pennell and Atkinson, as is often the way when you start looking into things like this! Definitely a podcast episode in the making, stay tuned... 👀
- Two years ago, I discovered a love story hidden within Scott’s last Antarctic expedition—between two of his officers, Pennell and Atkinson. They survived the tragedy which took Scott’s life and shocked the world, but further dangers still lay ahead for them. magazine.atavist.com/from-antarct...
- Mitra-Varuna are two ancient Indian deities who redefine friendship - riding around on a giant crocodile together, controlling the oceans, ejaculating into clay pots and conceiving children together… you know, just bros being bros.

- This LGBTQ history month everyone say thank you Sappho for inventing lesbianism around 600 BCE 🙂↕️ Ok but for real, Sappho of Lesbos was a phenomenal ancient Greek poet who immortalized her love for women in works that have only survived in fragments. Her name should sound familiar as well...
