Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Every day lately I’ve seen another astrology post declaring that we’re entering a portal, crossing a threshold, beginning a destined new era. Usually, I roll my eyes a little. Not because I don’t believe astrology marks meaningful transitions… obviously I do. But because a lot of modern astrology content skips over the messy human part. The nervous system part. The body part. The “this absolutely wrecked me before it rebuilt me” part. But this Taurus New Moon on May 16 does feel significant to me. Not in a glittery “everything changes overnight” kind of way. But in a quieter, deeper way. Like standing in front of a doorway you didn’t even realize you’d been walking toward for years. Astrologically, it makes sense. Since 2018, Uranus has been moving through Taurus, shaking up everything connected to Taurus themes: stability, security, money, survival, the body, comfort, values, the physical reality of our lives. Uranus disrupts whatever has become stagnant, unsustainable, or falsel...

There’s a particular kind of erasure that happens to women who get too close to the truth. Sometimes it looks like an overdose. Sometimes it looks like a car accident. Sometimes it looks like a suicide. And sometimes — if you’re lucky enough to be a famous columnist in 1965 — it just looks like a quiet death in your own home, ruled inconclusive, while your private notes on the biggest murder case in American history quietly disappear. Listen to the latest episode here:  Bitchstory Dorothy Kilgallen wasn’t just a TV personality or a gossip columnist. She was one of the most tenacious investigative journalists of her era. And she was *this close* to something. We just don’t know exactly what. Dorothy Kilgallen: The Woman Who Wouldn’t Let It Go By the time Dorothy Kilgallen died on November 8, 1965, she had already accomplished what virtually no other journalist had managed: a private interview with Jack Ruby, the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live television. She’d attended Ruby...

 WE ARE BACK! I took a little break while my husband was home for a visit.  And we are back with what might be one of my favorite episodes to date… Listen to the latest episode here:  Bitchstory Join Patreon and get weekly  Bitchscopes  & more!    Dorothy Kilgallen was, by any measure, one of the most powerful women in twentieth-century American media. By her early twenties she was already racing around the world — literally — competing against male reporters on commercial routes, finishing second, and coming home to a song written in her honor. Her daily column, Voice of Broadway, ran in 146 newspapers and covered everything from Hollywood gossip to organized crime to the inner workings of the Supreme Court. The New York Post called her “the most powerful female voice in America.” For good reason. She was also a television personality before television knew what to do with women — a regular panelist on What’s My Line? for seventeen years, beloved ...

Let’s revisit my Goddess Justice Arc Calendar and check in -  April- The Walls of Silencing Fail.  April was never going to be quiet. The theme was clear: Not collapse. Not resolution… Failure. of. containment. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing. What April actually did April didn’t solve anything; It exposed pressure points…across systems - political, corporate, cultural - the pattern has been the same: information surfacing that wasn’t meant to  documents, testimony, and internal processes becoming visible  institutions struggling to control timing and narrative  “private” matters becoming public  voices emerging that were previously contained or dismissed  Not always clean. Not always confirmed immediately… But movement. That’s the point. April in real time: escalation, exposure, and instability If April is about failure of containment, then we’re not looking for one defining event; We’re looking for multiple systems showing strain at the same tim...
