Ep 45: BONUS! No Kings Austin


I attended the local No Kings rally Saturday, October 18, 2025. This was recorded about 2 hours after I got home, so I was fairly sleepy. I realized after talking to my partner, that I left out a few important notes, like how there was ZERO police presence. Less cops than one would normally see at that park. Very strange indeed! All in all, I am glad I went, though. Thanks for listening xo

There's a lot going on right now, and sometimes it's good to step back and lose yourself in a work of fiction. Freddy G, who you may know from the internet, joins me to discuss seasons 1&2 of the Apple TV show Severance. Are all offices like this? Is Ricken a Marxist? Would YOU get severed? We discuss this and more!

Ex Ep 11 CLIP: Fascism & Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt (intro)

I am beginning my next reading series with the 1934 book, Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt.


Dutt was a British communist in the 1930s and wrote about the rise of fascism happening all around him. I find his analysis of what fascism is and how to fight it to be one of the best out there. In this episode, I read a bit of his bio and both of the book’s introductions.


This series will be released to the free feed in about a month xoxo

Ep 35: Queer Liberation Readings

After searching for some time, I finally found a collection of essays about Queer Liberation in a book titled Against Equality: Queer Liberation Not Mere Inclusion. In this episode, I read three essays from this book, all covering the topic of LGBTQ people and the USA military. As we watch our government attempt to pinkwash us into manufacturing consent to bomb Iran and support the destruction of Palestine, these writings seem extra important. Happy PRIDE, and remember that all our struggles are connected.

Ep 34: All Our Struggles are Connected, duh!

Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement is a collection of essays and speeches by Angela Y Davis. These writings are all from 2013-2015, and the book came out in 2016. In this episode, I read you a speech she gave in December of 2013 titled “On Palestine, G4S, and the Prison-Industrial Complex.” In times like these, it is important to remember that all of our struggles are connected, and it’s the oppressing class that wants us to struggle alone.


I couldn’t find a digital copy of the book, but there are some affordable copies here:
