Happy 1 year anniversary of The Lavender Menace Podcast! We are dedicating our anniversary, season 3 finale, and 2022 Easter episode to answering three listener submitted hot takes, going over all of Taylor Swift's Easter eggs pointing to her being gay, and reflecting on the media recommendations we've given each other in the past year. In discussing being a communist on the day to day, we recommend some beginner level theory: Angela Davis books (Freedom is a Constant Struggle, Women Race and Class, Women Culture and Politics, Are Prisons Obsolete,) Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, Lenin's State and Revolution, Gender Accelerationist Manifesto, base and superstructure, Dialectical and Historical Materialism by Stalin, the podcast episodes Stalin was a mensch & Stalin a Marxist Leninist perspective. We also mention The Black Jacobins, Robin DG Kelley's Hammer and Hoe, The Foundations of Lenininism by Stalin, The Castle of Truth and Other Stories by Hermynia Zur Muhlen, and Mao's Combat Liberalism. (Also not mentioned in the episode but other really good theory recommendations: Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Neocolonialism by Kwame Nkrumah, Women's Liberation and he African Freedom Struggle by Thomas Sankara). We respond to a listener facing biphobia allegations and give our thoughts on radical feminism/trans exclusionary radical feminists (aka TERFs) with leads us to talking about attraction and sexual orientation's relationship to one's politics, “monosexuals”, heterosexual women's misogyny, gay men's misogyny, centering and attraction to men, the Bechdel test, and opposing transmisogyny. For another listener submitted hot take, we discuss how “androphobia” isn't real, break down the phenomenon of fetishizing of transmisogyny, and namedrop @butchboyfriend on Tik Tok. Renaissance then leads the conversation into material conditions in response to the gender binary and patriarchy, lesbophobia vs biphobia, visibility vs material conditions, the gender trinary, and trans men/butch history. Finally, we tackle the hot takes around lesbians and ‘genital preferences' and the politics of attraction. For the shared media portion of this episode, Renaissance goes through the timeline of Taylor Swift's queer coded Easter eggs and get into Dianna Agron and RED. Sunny rants about reputation and Lover's gayness and breaks down Cruel Summer which leads to Renaissance bringing up illicit affairs, Karlie Kloss, more Swiftgron, and an emphasis on Taylor's lyricism: “the world was black and white but we were in screaming color” etc. Also, “ME! Out now” on lesbian visibility day. For the final and third section of today's episode, we go through the things we've previously recommended each other on the podcast and have since consumed and enjoyed: Fleabag, Fortune Favors The Dead, Conversations With Friends, Assassination Nation, Professor Marsten and the Wonder Woman, Stella Bomkivist, and of course, the our love lasts so long article.

Happy Friday, Blue Ballers! This week, Rachel takes a necessary break from work (and celebrates her birthday in solitude), Arielle needs new pants to fit her fat ass, and the girls chat about Tom Brady's grossness and Lizzo's TED Talk on twerking. In more schmooze, the girls teach men how to properly cover their infidelity, explain why some men botch their house chores, and Arielle recommends watching Professor Marsten and the Wonder Women on HBO. Fresh off the press, the cohosts get Balls Deep in how the pandemic showed us consent isn't just about sex and the correlation between appearance dissatisfaction and sexual problems. New friend of the pod Kenzie Brenna chats with the girls about healing your inner child and why she pivoted from being a weight loss influencer to a self-love influencer. The girls get into the double standard placed on women's bodies and how Disney totally fucked them all up. Tune in for an incredibly raw conversation on navigating a thin-focused society in a fat body. Okay, so… a Blue Baller calls in with the ultimate dilemma: How can she explore her bisexuality while in a monogamous heterosexual relationship? Got a question?

On this week's installment of Sunny and Renaissance's regularly scheduled three part podcast of a submitted hot take, joint media consumption, and personalized recommendations for each other, your favorite lesbian communists exhibit their bimboism in regards to professional sports but ultimately comes to the conclusion that like capitalism, they must be abolished! Thank you to @scissorclown on Twitter for this scathing hot take. Then we rant and scream and cry and yell and stomp over the absolute wildness that is the 2020 indie drama Kajillionaire directed by Miranda July, whom we definitely think is a genius. This unconventional heist movie about family, money, survival, love, intimacy, emotional neglect, queerness and mentally ill lesbians with mommy issues....! Yeah we are a bit blown away. Finally, Sunny recommends the novel Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung-Frazier in how it has the same weirdly hyper specific scenario x brilliant queer energy of Kajillionaire, and Renaissance recommends the campy 2004 movie D.E.B.S. directed by Angela Robinson (the director of Renaissance's favorite movie, Professor Marsten and the Wonder Woman).Find us on Twitter @thelavenderpod and email us your hot take(s) to get featured on future episodes thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com!

This week Lane and guest host Vy have a wide-ranging conversation that promises to be just as funny as it is informative. After talking about Wonder Woman's rather fascinating origin story (hint: it involves a throuple) and a movie some affectionately call "the gay 'Get Out'", they focus on the main topic of this week's episode: law school. This topic includes the anxiety of being a 1L, what it's like to be LGBTQ+ in law school, and what law school looks like during a pandemic (spoiler alert: it's not very fun).

First of all, enormous thanks to Yama for commissioning this episode. I'm so annoyed because I scheduled for Hootsuite to share the link to the Crowdcast automatically, the way I do with every show, and for some reason they encountered an error and that link never went up. So Owen and I were really surprised that there was nobody in the audience for the Crowdcast, and it turns out that's why. Boooooo, and I'm so sorry to Yama that she missed chatting with us.

First, Valerie and Tere break down their experience at New York Comic Con (0:39) this year and discuss their favorite rooms. Then Tere schools Valerie and Tatiana in the difference between a true biopic and a fanfic film about a real person, using Professor Marsten and the Wonder Women (17:44) as her case study. After a nice long chat about that, the ladies catch up on their Fall TV (40:07) which includes discussions on Gotham, Lucifer and Berlin Station. It even involves conversation about the Roswell reboot coming down the CW pipeline! Somehow everything goes back to Star Wars (1:05:21) in a way that will no doubt make sense when you listen.
