HJ-237-S 🏳️🌈 🇬🇧Just finished reading Bark! by Justin St. Clair.
There was less on the history of the community than I would have liked but it was interesting to get the author’s opinions on the pup community from the perspective of traditional leather.
Some of the advice is out of date though, for instance he recommends starting community groups on Facebook. A very dangerous thing to do in the face of the rise of new fascist ideology.

theseoldqueersIn this episode, Thomas tells us about the life of Black, lesbian blues singer, pianist and entertainer: #GladysBentley. A star of the #HarlemRenaissance of the 1920s and 1930s, Bentley seemed in every way someone living their life on their terms. Until, that is, her star power began to dim and Bentley began to doubt her identity.

I was discussing the early history of the BDSM pup play and how it emerged from the gay leather community in regards to how few people in the community know it’s its history.
The history seems lost to time due to factors such as the measure of LGBTQ+ people by the state and the loss of many of the pioneers in the HIV / AIDS epidemic.
Does anyone have any articles on the history of pup play to share? Boosts welcome.
