Hey gang, it’s goth dyke Trixie and Katya here to bring you a VERY overdue episode about illness and disability in Part 2 of our Angels in America episode! We’ve got a lot of reading this week, from revisiting Angels in America to Susan Sontag to Eli Clare. We’re exploring metaphors of illness and cure and how they work in Angels in America and in the Black Parade.

Topics include,: Susan Sontag’s triumphant return to the pod, sexy tuberculosis, being Gun. haters, absolutely pummeling Cancer, unholyverse mention, transgender body horror in Mama, Stomachaches, a brief Kombucha interlude, problems with madness and prophecy, “The worst thing about being sick in America is that you’re booted out of the parade”, cure and living with illness, and free top surgery at Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
