Oh, I Would Love To Stop talking About It!
But honestly who else is talking about it? How many transpeople are there in the realm of technology that are out and talking about this stuff? And if I don't use my voice and position to put some truth into these extremely contentious debates in my own state and cou...

Ending The Trans Sports Debate
A simple solution to transpeople competing in sports, and a mic drop - but nothing changes the fact that the idea of any purity in sports is just stupid to begin with.

This Bobby Dazzler of a film is a thing of beauty and a joy forever! A vintage Pan AM 16mm reel about the mysterious land Down Under - Swingin' 'Stralia! This go-go dancing, miniskirt sporting, roo-hopping romp has lots of groovy music, almost all of which had to be ...

Calories: Enough Is Enough! (1974)
Yea, they wouldn't show a film like this to kids today - but it is a time capsule of American teen life in the early 1970's, with lots of vintage foods. Sure the films has turned pink, but it's not the restoration that gives everything that wash of beige - life was pretty ...

No - not THAT Apple - but a Bell Telephone film that is part DADA, part Freakout, and part info-doc. Definitely a strange one.... and this is the stuff we used to see in elementary school! Far out! I transferred this reel with my Eiki Telecine, so e...

Effective Writing Outlines - Computers (1973)
This classic 16mm Coronet film gives us an updated take on the previous "Flannel Boards" film from 1958 but this time with synthesizers and punch card data entry! Lots of nostalgic peeks at mainframe computers of the early 70's and how to put together your own Scattergram....
