I usually make the bread each year for our family get-together. It's been a while since I've baked, so I wanted to do a practice loaf... Turns out she's still got it!

The Schwules Museum closes an exhibition about Emma Trosse who published groundbreaking work on female homosexuality, asexuality and making the case for LGBTQIA+ equality in the 1890s. Her work should be better known but it was censored and banned.

#OTD Disney's The Little Mermaid is released in cinemas. The film has lots of queer connectors; from Hans Christian Andersen's love letter, to Divine's influence, to queer creators like Howard Ashman who made the movie magic.
Pop on the film and sing along.
