The Episode:
Conventionally Attractive: What else does the convention govern beside attraction?
Conventionally attractive is just a euphemism for white eurocentric beauty ideals that white people themselves both control and regularly fail (and when they fail it, they shift the goalpost ever in their favor)
-GOP-1s/GLP-1s: A global "rightward" conservative drift coinciding with a boon in the weight loss drug industry, a billion dollar social media attention economy focused mostly on how people look and a concurrent decline in advocacy for Congo, Sudan, Haiti and the ongoing genocidal violence against Black people in this country may be revealing an uglier truth about white supremacy than once thought before.
Who has capital and who doesn’t all wrapped up in who is beautiful or not, another such binary created by the State

New DEI, Same Ol' Ethnostate: Desperation, Extermination, Imitation
"Racism and racially structured discrimination have not been deviations from the norm; they have been the norm"---Charles W. Mills
"White supremacy forced white americans into rationalizations so fantastical that they approached the pathological."--James Baldwin
Alt episode titles:
Hegemony, Iniquity, Occlusion
Dehumanization, Erasure, Indoctrination
We've been here before, we've never left. The place where a z*on*st and a n*zi can exist inside the same washed up, recycled shock jock racist tech magnate bureaucrat, use thee quintessential anti-semitic gesture on national television and be defended by the head of a million dollar anti-semitism watchdog org that mostly just targets Black people. Yes, even here: a place where neo n*zis came up short in Lincoln Heights, Cincinnati the first all-Black, self-governing city north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and got ran out, they shit took, their flag burned. The pork escort service was no match for Black love.
Happy Black History, Present, Futures Monf and 365 days of the year in my anita baker voice. Sending you all our tender love no matter where you are, what you are going through, whether it's genuine fear from a place of privilege, comfort from having felt a false sense of safety in the promise of a democractic administration or a delayed reaction to living under a Herrenvolk democracy, join us for the first episode of the year in our attempt to ease the collective anxiety with a little, gentle, reality check and reminder of where you are and more importantly, who you are, from the Federal Act-Rite Administration (with love).
Everything's going to be okay.
