In this debut RANT, I’m coming for the straight white conservative men profiting off the very communities their votes harm. Because you don’t get to smile at trans teens buying plushies and then turn around and support policies that erase their rights. You don’t get to collect queer dollars while calling compassion “woke.” You don’t get to be in their spaces if you’re voting to burn them down.

I own a toy store. I know this community. And I’m not letting this hypocrisy slide.

Canada is heading into a snap federal election, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this short but sharp episode, Britt breaks down how the hell we got here, why strategic voting matters now more than ever, and why Pierre Poilievre is NOT the everyman he pretends to be. We’ll also take a look at which Canadian news sources are actually reliable, who’s pushing the spin, and how to fact-check like your democracy depends on it. (Because it does.)

It's a quick and dirty overview of what matters—no fluff, no spin, just facts and fire.

We read real posts from parents who wish they’d made a different choice, break down societal pressure and postpartum regret, and ask: why are we forced to celebrate every birth, no matter how bad the circumstances?

In this episode, we dig into who’s really at fault: the cheater, the “other person,” or even friends and family who stay silent. Plus, we explore why people cheat, if relationships can survive it, and whether open relationships might be the solution. Let’s get into it!

In this episode, we confront the devastating realities of sexual assault and the systems that often fail survivors. We discuss the Gisèle Pelicot case, where a woman discovered her husband had been drugging her and inviting strangers to assault her for a decade, and the horrifying 70k-man group chat he utilized. We dive into an article published by The Guardian that examines the men charged in this case and the societal implications of their crimes (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/19/who-are-the-men-convicted-over-rape-and-assault-of-gisele-pelicot-).

We also examine a case from Massachusetts, where a woman who recorded her assault is now being counter-charged for recording her rapist without his consent. Alongside these stories, we share personal accounts and reflections on the systemic issues that perpetuate these injustices.


NOTE: If you are a man who has experienced sexual assault, there are specific resources below for men as well. Please reach out for support before passing your trauma on to others.
