This feed is mainly for my "Today in Queer TV History" video posts. Previous posts are on my YouTube channel.
In search of escapist entertainment as far removed as possible from today's news, I dug out some early DVDs of silent-movie shorts. The transfer tech back then was pretty bad, so I've cleaned up some of them before putting them on my media hard drive... It keeps me out of trouble. 😀

21 years ago today, I was in Madrid giving my "Queers on American TV" lecture in my best approximation of European Spanish, using a mix of dubbed and subtitled clips that I'd brought on a VHS tape. Technologically, such a different era! (Hat tip to @javiermarin.bsky.social for this video clip.)
