And we're back! Thank you for your patience while we took a weekend off. This week, we'll be discussing the importance of media literacy & we have some updates regarding fast fashion and the AI world.

Tiktok Ash mentions in the episode: Stonewall Rebellion - Gina Tonic https://www.tiktok.com/@ginatonicnyc/video/7249831043547680043?lang=en

We apologize for no episode this week. We have been a bit overwhelmed the last two weeks with general life things, and we've currently embarked on a "get our friend a puppy 5+ hours away from home" mission. We promise we'll be back next Sunday with a fantastic episode for you! - Ash & Katy

This week, Katy teaches us about the complicated history of German physician and sexologist, Magnus Hirschfeld. We learn about his advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, the world's first trans clinic, and the community of support he helped build.

I Don't Know Her Podcast

This week we speak with Maria Weston Kuhn, Founder of Drive Us Forward and car crash survivor. Drive Us Forward is a Gen Z led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization advocating for the end of gender inequity in automobile safety standards. Maria tells us about how her experience as a crash survivor led to her activism and to starting the foundation. We hear her perspective and experience when it comes to working with elected officials to address the gender inequities in our policies surrounding car crash testing, the kinds of test dummies we use, and how we can hold government entities accountable for their inaction on the matter. 

You can find Maria on Instagram, @mariawkuhn. You can find Drive Us Forward on Instagram and Tiktok, @driveusforward. You can also visit their website, https://www.driveusforward.org/.

This week we cover the rest of Max's story. This is where he gets absolutely unhinged in his medical practices y'all... definitely a TW for drug use and abuse with this episode.

This week we give you a taste of what one of our segments on Patreon sounds like. We hear about searches for meteorites, stolen cadavers, and a doppelgänger poisoned by cheesecake. Enjoy!

This week we get mathematical (not really though, cus it makes our brains hurt) and we learn all about Pythagoras and his cult of followers!
