[ID: a rectangle flag made to mimic the progress pride flag. The flag is horizontal, equally sized, and 9-striped with the colors lavender, magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, indigo, and purple from top to bottom. There's a layered Star of David on the left of the image with the colors black, brown, blue, pink, white, and yellow from outside to inside. The yellow part has a small purple Star of David that makes the yellow part mimic the intersex flag. /End of ID]

there are three things worth noting about rashi:

it's thought his daughters were fairly educated to the point that there's an urban legend about someone saying the reason it's ok to wear tefillin is that rashi's daughters wore tefillin

at the time of course it was not socially acceptable for women to put their names on things

rashi got an INSANE (like, physically impossible, someone's done the calculations) amount done

so we have a guy who does a ridiculous amount and his daughters who were allegedly very smart but couldn't have published at the time.

(Jewish) pride month day 2: Janis Ian

Janis Ian is an American singer-songwriter, musician, columnist, and science fiction author. Born in New Jersey in 1951, she started learning to play instruments from a very young age and became a prominent artist in the 1960s and 1970s folk scene. Her first hit single, "Society's Child", was written and recorded when she was only 14 years old. The song centered around an interracial relationship, still a taboo subject at the time. In 1975, she released the song "At Seventeen", which would become her most successful hit and would win a Grammy in 1976 for best female pop vocal performance. She had previously been outed in 1976, but in 1993 she came out as a lesbian with the release of her album, "Breaking Silence". In 2003, Janis married her partner in Toronto when gay marriage was legalized there. In the 2000s, she became involved in science fiction fandoms as she had been a longtime fan of the genre. Her sci-fi writing has been published in several anthologies. She also wrote for LGBT and music related magazines. Janis and her brother, Eric, started the Pearl Foundation, a nonprofit that funds scholarships for older adults in higher education, named after their mother who they encouraged to fulfill her dream of going to college. Her memoir, "Society's Child", has received critical acclaim, and the audiobook narration won a Grammy for spoken word. The recent documentary "Janis Ian: Breaking Silence" was based on her memoir.
