"Stubbornly idealistic" independent local journalism that's owned & run by the people working there? Yes! We love this work so much that Ruth Ann personally gave @hellgatenyc.com support for a dedicated podcasting studio, which they're naming The Ruth Ann Harnisch Studio. Join us in supporting them!

For an entire generation of girls, Sally Ride was the at pinnacle we dreamed of: being the first American woman to blast into space. A new doc premiering at Sundance explores her hidden life & a portrait of the woman beyond the headlines:

When values of bodily autonomy and individual choice collide with latent fears of disability, the conversations get uncomfortable, to say the least. Premiering tonight at @sundancefilmfest.bsky.social, "Life After" is a new, unflinching dive into those conversations:

The stakes couldn't be higher: @chasestrangio.bsky.social is the first out trans person to argue a case before #SCOTUS, and he's also up against the mainstream media's continued role in fomenting anti-trans bias. Premiering today at Sundance:

A cure for what ails you: "Move Ya Body: The Birth of House" is a "road map of how a rebellion against bodily repression can clutch joy and creative expression to sidestep empire." Sounds very good to us! And, it premieres today at @sundancefilmfest.bsky.social:
