So, we’re bringing back the TPP podcast and we started with an episode of Alex and Alisa discussing … Christmas Chronicles 2 (they watched it so you don’t have to. Also, Kurt Russell. )

Sanitary pads were developed by a Black woman named Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner of Monroe, NC.
The first company that showed interest rejected it because of racial discrimination. It was later accepted in 1956, 30 years later.
Mary received five patents. #BlackHistoryMonth

Researchers who examined 1,300 top films from 2007 through 2019 have found that on average just 4.8% were directed by women. 2019 saw the highest number in over a decade: 12 of 113 directors of the year's top 100 movies, or 10.6%, were women.

Ugh, 15 hours later, the word I was grappling for in last night’s recording - discouraged.
