Our co-hosts move through the three waves of feminism and the movement’s pesky tendency to repeat old exclusionary mistakes, touch on TERFs, and talk about how white feminism is out here hustling to find an “other” to toss under the metaphorical bus.


Included to break up the “whomp-wa” noise playing in your head, our co-hosts talk about their own journeys working with feminism’s complicated legacy, how Ashley’s cat punched her right in the face, and who our co-hosts would send into space as ambassadors of humans.

We go all the way back to ancient Greece on this one to trace the evolution and development of the field of mental health care - it’s been a rough road from the beginning. We touch on the present day context and current status for how we’re doing amidst a teensy thing known as a global pandemic. Ever heard of it? The episode closes with an overview of Cait and Maria’s personal journeys with mental health and resources they’ve found helpful. 


While it was a heavy topic, we made sure to pepper in some discussion of...Fast and Furious 9, burlesque, and being cool with how much we cry.

It’s got its beefy tentacles into everything and can feel overwhelming to wrestle with - but this is a good enough start. Included is an overview of historical developments beginning with feudalism, with its appalling smells and incessant rain, through the modern era with its slightly better smells and a capitalist system on steroids. Then our co-hosts dive into some of the lies that capitalism tells us, and how we can operate in this system while hopefully moving toward something that works for more people. 


The episode concludes with a very important discussion of celebrity streams we’d like to see spun up on Twitch.
