A new essay on Jane Campion's "Top of the Lake" on structural violence, the limits of institutional activism, and why Robin Griffin keeps showing up even when showing up changes almost nothing. For anyone who has ever pushed on something that did not move.

Daytime TV - October 1978

Deidre Hall in 1978: newly divorced, fiercely independent, and redefining what solo living looked like on-screen and off. Her house parties were legendary, her garden lush, and her refusal to be minimized? Iconic.

Hi @hcommons.social! Im a queer and #feministmedia studies researcher working in and on podcasting and radio. Looking to connect with others across #culturalstudies, creative industries, and the arts.

I co-direct the Amplify Podcast Network, a scholarly podcast network. I recently completed my PhD in #Communication at Simon Fraser University focused on lesbian feminist and queer soundwork from 1970s to present.

I was on mastodon.lol so had to make a new one. Happy to find this community.
