Queen James & Dr. John: ShakesQueer pt. 2 (a VENUS VALLEY chapter)
Info-dump chapter! I had a lot I wanted to say in the last chapter and a few different places I wanted to take it; but for those who want to know more, there’s plenty more to know - and like a good little philosophy blogger, telling you all about it can raise plenty more questions!

Gentles & Lady-Men! VENUS VALLEY sees the queer in Shakespeare (part 1). Top Story - November 2023.
Welcome to a chapter I’ve been waiting and wanting to write for a while, because it’s one of the fun chapters of this book-in-progress! If you’re just joining in, you’ve found the chapter-by-chapter release of my LGBTQIA+ centric philosophy chat book, in which your inputs will shape my edits til the finished book says what my beloved brave and beautiful rainbow flag community want people to know, rather than just me being a look-how-clever-I-am philosopher. I’ve learned a big lesson in writing as I’ve tried to rush my way to this chapter, as things I’ve tried to squeeze in quickly have shouted at me from the page, that they deserve real space to speak. So feel free to click a link I’ll put in later, where you can see the focus I’ve given about philosophies ancient and modern from outside my own sphere of knowledge, learning as I teach; or read on for the first in a set of upcoming chapters where I’ll have fun indulging my biggest fandoms and dig into some of the deeper philosophies behind them. Welcome, queerly beloveds, to Venus Valley: Queer Philosophers’ Forum!
