VENUS VALLEY: Prologue
This book is a social experiment. Being queer means questioning the philosophies of sex, politics & religion of those around us, or having ours questioned by them, on a daily basis. So my fellow rainbow flag flyers, let's philosophise together: Debate, discuss, question, contribute, as I release my philosophy study writing chapter by chapter online, & you'll all be my editors, your edits feeding into my final published product - so our readers will know it's not just me having one of my rants, but your voices, queerly beloveds, among & alongside it. Welcome, Gentles & Lady-Men, to Venus Valley: Queer Philosophers' Forum.

LGBTQIA+ Tarot: Major Arcana Catch-Up!
If you're familiar with the Tarot, you'll know it's set up in two halves - the Minor and the Major Arcana; if you're not familiar with it, you at least know that now! The Minor Arcana is pretty recognisable to anyone who knows the four suits of a classic deck of playing cards. The Major Arcana's set of symbols is what I've been writing to introduce people to. But I've been looking at them from queer people's point of view. Because what you may or may not know, even if you do know the Tarot, is how queer its history is!
