**Come for the history; stay for the revolution, gossip, and desire that built it. 🤌**
***About Us ::* Decade by decade**, *Our Dyke Histories* dives deep into the living, breathing past and present of lesbian, queer, bisexual, trans, & nonbinary communities. Each season traces how we made space for ourselves—sometimes in bars, bookstores, and protests; sometimes in basements, alleyways, and prisons; & always against the odds.
***Host* :: Our Dyke Histories** is hosted by historian, geographer, and environmental psychologist Dr. Jack Jen Gieseking, and produced in collaboration with *Sinister Wisdom*, the oldest lesbian multicultural literary and art journal.
***Season One ::*** Our first season traces the history of **dyke bars\*** - yes, with an asterisk - including **lesbian bars, queer parties, & trans hangouts**. **Before Pride marches and hashtags**, there were bars, parties, and whispered invitations that built whole worlds. *Our Dyke Histories* uncovers the stories of the women, trans, and nonbinary people who turned repression into resistance and nightlife into liberation.

***What Does Our Tarot Reading Say about What's Next?* ::** In **future seasons**, we will move decade by decade through other defining places, objects, and ideas in lesbian, bi, queer, and trans history—mapping the worlds we’ve made and the futures we’re still imagining.
**Funny and fierce, sexy and smart, and full of dyke spirit, this podcast isn’t nostalgia—it’s a survival guide disguised as a love letter.**
