Hi! This is unrelated to today's thread but I wanted to shout out that Melanie Fields, who plays Jo in League of Their Own, was on Cameron Esposito's podcast Queery. She talks about advocating for her body as a fat actress and I loved the conversation. They start out talking about watching Rosie in the original and kind of tip toeing around weight... I was holding my breath about where we were going but Melanie rocked it and maybe she wants to come chat with Virginia too 🙂

gah, I just really hope we get another season of League! Thanks for indulging my side bar Butter. Happy Friday everyone

My mom kept a copy of the original Our Bodies, Ourselves on the living room bookshelf and that was my primer - along with Seventeen, YM and Glamour magazines. She was a health teacher and I don’t remember big puberty talks but there was zero hidden information in our house which I greatly appreciated. I distinctly remember sitting on the living room floor looking at that book and of course, to my friends it was an absolute treasure trove.
