  • 9: Nipple
    nip·ple /ˈnipəl/"the small projection in which the mammary ducts of female mammals terminate and from which milk can be secreted." we take some issues with this definition but it was the first one that came up. So... today's episode was filmed later at night than usual and is a little extra... chaotic. Join us in ranting about body shaming and censorship :). This was inspired by a Devin but Better video on the "golden nipple" trend that seems to be emerging. We delve into social media censorship, free the nipple, and our personal experiences with being policed for our bodies (particularly at work). We know everyone across gender and age can probably come up with an example or time when they were shamed, forced to change, or sexualized for just... existing. Nipples are not inherently sexual but they have become a marker of sexuality for some, leading to very gendered dress codes, harassment, and social acceptance of the previous things. PS we are doing a giveaway there are a few more days to enter!! Head to our IG to check it out. Thank you for listening. Obsessions:Peachtober (art challenge that Rids is doing originally created by Furry Little Peach)Giant Hoodies Squid Game

  • 8: Vaccine
    vac·cine /vakˈsēn/"a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease."In today's episode, we just talked about what is happening and why we are at home. We had to take a bit of a break so welcome back! We thought it was a good idea to talk about how vaccines are being perceived and our personal opinions on them. Disclaimer, we are not doctors. This is information/thoughts we have gathered over the years, witnessed ourselves, or learned through the internet. To anyone who cannot get the vaccine for medical or access reasons please stay safe. To those that have been personally impacted by this panini, our hearts go out to you. Obsessions: Bite toothpaste tablets Shang-Chi Doing "nothing" HalloweenPS if you have fears about the vaccine and want to talk about it our DMs and email are open!
