Episodes 2.22 & 2.23: “The Opposite of Safe”

Don't Forget the Chickpeas

Today we are joined by special guest peach to discuss episodes 2.22, “Father Knows Best”, and 2.23, “Eye of the Beholder”! We discuss copaganda and the military, anxiety-inducing TV, what true trust and safety look like, solidarity to shoplifters and looters, and how Ali would NEVER ride the bus. peach takes us for a walk, Deepa says the word fish, and Cameron thinks her friendship with Deepa is unfortunate. All our oppressive systems must be destroyed!

This episode was recorded in January when wildfires were devastating Los Angeles; you can still provide support for marginalized communities impacted by the fires at @mutualaidla on instagram.

Theme song by Ashok R. Chandran.
