Hello Glorious Paturders!

We MISS you. We have been sooooo behind on catching up on your hilaire and heartwarming messages, so decided to do an episode dedicated to them!

WARNING: For anyone who does not enjoy us bla-bla-blaing at the beginning of eps, this is not for you. Please feel free to skip and move along in an orderly fashion. Thank YOH!

We love you, hope you are all taking care of yourselves

Hello and welcome back our Brackies! We've missed you.

We're staying in ENGLAND this week while we take a breath, gather ourselves and reset the pod in these apocalyptic times.

Kate is first up this week with the devastating murder of Naomi Hersi; a beloved trans woman whose death reignited outrage at problematic reporting of trans women in the media, especially trans women of colour.

George then takes us through the recent incredibly upsetting death of twelve year old Shukri Abdi; the suspicious circumstances surrounding her final moments and the total lack of care and consideration shown to her family throughout.

This week we begin including charities/funds connected to our cases that we will be donating to. The links are highlighted just below if you would like to and are in a position to donate too.

Thank you Paturders!
