17. Tangerine: Participation Rather Than Observation
<p>iPhones. This movie has everything: trans women, Christmas carols, donuts, meth, and prisons and your father’s making!</p> <p>What does it mean for a white cis guy to make a film about black trans women and Is it possible to tell others’ stories ethically through collaboration? What’s so appealing about DIY projects? What is the difference between observation and participation? And why is this called Tangerine anyway? Listen to Pia bully Clementine about their (objectively ridiculous) name.</p> <p>Additional Reading:</p> <ul> <li>Paris is Burning (duhhhhh)</li> </ul> <p>Extra Credit:</p> <ul> <li>Follow us at <a href="https://instagram.com/wedidthereading"><u>@wedidthereading</u></a> 📚🌈</li> <li>Read more of Clementine’s words at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clementinevonradics/"><u>@clementinevonradics</u></a></li> <li>See more of Pia’s drawings at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pia_marchetti/"><u>@pia_marchetti</u></a></li> <li>Thanks to <a href="https://linktr.ee/mirindoja"><u>Mirin Doja</u></a> for creating our theme song</li> </ul>

16. SCUM Manifesto: The Perfect Gay Storm
<p>We’re talking about our favorite anti-male pump up jam, SCUM Manifesto. This controversial and iconic essay was written by Valerie Solanas, founder and singular member of SCUM (the Society for Cutting Up Men) and failed assassin of pop art darling Andy Warhol. Werk!</p> <p>We dig into this manifesto, break down the perfect gay storm that lead to Andy Warhol’s shooting, and celebrate the performance art of Solanas & Warhol’s relationship. Could this text be contemporary if we replaced the word “men” with “patriarchy?” How much should we consider the artist’s intention when reading a work? What would Valerie Solanas’ twitter look like?</p> <p>Additional Reading:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-30/essays/on-liking-women/"><u>On Liking Women</u></a> by Andrea Long Chu</li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5BBWr1LUsCH1tECJLAUGnP?si=e067c544330c4536"><u>For Her</u></a> by Fiona Apple</li> <li>The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) by Andy Warhol</li> </ul> <p>Extra Credit:</p> <ul> <li>Follow us at <a href="https://instagram.com/wedidthereading"><u>@wedidthereading</u></a> 📚🌈</li> <li>Read more of Clementine’s words at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clementinevonradics/"><u>@clementinevonradics</u></a></li> <li>See more of Pia’s drawings at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pia_marchetti/"><u>@pia_marchetti</u></a></li> <li>Thanks to <a href="https://linktr.ee/mirindoja"><u>Mirin Doja</u></a> for creating our theme song</li> </ul>

15. Crisis Zone: The Perverted COVID Narrative We Deserve
<p>In 2020 while the world was literally falling apart, comic icon Simon Hanselmann stepped up as the hero we needed. Publishing daily to instagram, Hanselmann showed in real time how the cast of his cult classic series Megg and Mogg were coping in the quarantine. In our opinion, it’s the best piece of COVID media ever made, and possibly also the only good piece of COVID media ever made. It won an Eisner award for Chirst’s sake!</p> <p>We talk about the catharsis of media by and for the people, the freedom provided by a cast of Problematic™ characters, and the power of shared niche interests. Pia also gushes extensively over Simon Hanselmann. (Simon if you are free this Thursday, Pia is free on Thursday when she is free.)</p> <p>All hail the Anus King!</p> <p><strong>Additional Reading:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dive into the the Megg and Mogg universe with Megahex or Megg and Mogg in Amsterdam by Simon Hanselmann</li> <li>Fight Club (the book) by known queer weirdo Chuck Palahniuk (trust us, the book is more perverted than you’d think)</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXY2-IbwlNw"><u>The beginning of Trailer Park Boys season 6 episode 5 “Halloween 1977”</u></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Extra Credit:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Follow us at <a href="https://instagram.com/wedidthereading"><u>@wedidthereading</u></a> 📚🌈</li> <li>Read more of Clementine’s words at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clementinevonradics/"><u>@clementinevonradics</u></a></li> <li>See more of Pia’s drawings at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pia_marchetti/"><u>@pia_marchetti</u></a></li> <li>Thanks to <a href="https://linktr.ee/mirindoja"><u>Mirin Doja</u></a> for creating our theme song</li> </ul>
