    Send us a text TRUE CRIME: Jeffrey Dahmer Murders Content warning: violence, sexual assault, murder, necrophilia, cannibalism, homophobia, racism In part 2 of A Haunted Genetic Architecture, we pick back up after Jeffery Dahmer’s trial and subsequent death a few years post-imprisonment. We spend time spotlighting the lives of those he targeted and the devastating impact these murders had on surviving family members, loved ones and the community at large. We’ll go over the rise of homophobia that occurred after media coverage of this case as well as the grassroots activism that emerged in response. Finally, we’ll highlight some groups doing vital police accountability, queer liberation and Black liberation work in Milwaukee, WI, where these stories take place.   Sources Support the show Support the show Thank you for listening to our passion project 3 You can find us on social media here!

    26. A Haunted Genetic Architecture Pt. 1

    Send us a text TRUE CRIME: Jeffrey Dahmer Murders Content warning: sexual assault, ableism, murder, necrophilia, cannibalism, pedophilia, homophobia, racism, police violence/neglect. We’re backkkk!!!!!! After a long hiatus caused by multiple huge life changes on both our ends, we bring you our first story recorded in two separate continents. It’s a heavy one - we’re covering the Jeffrey Dahmer murders. But as is always true with us, it’s less about the violence itself and more about the historical and social context these murders are situated in. You’ll learn about 1960/70s Queer Black history in MKE, including the ‘Stonewall’ of Milwaukee that happened 8 years before Stonewall. We unearth the brutality of police negligence and also do a deep dive framing Dahmer’s violence as a microcosm of European conquest and colonialism. (Stay tuned for Part 2, which will go deep on victim stories, the fall out of the murders on the community, and some amazing theses about the socio-political implications of this case we found while digging deep into this story).
