Happy 2021 Everyone! To start off the New Year, Allison and Gaby discuss a listener's email that brings attention to the existence of harmful therapy and institutionalization. They're then joined by one of the podcast's greatest guests of all time (in our humble opinion), disability activist Alice Wong to discuss ableism, covid and the importance of filling your bookshelf with diverse voices. And finally, compliments! The good, the lovely and the harmful! Also Allison reveals how she chooses the topics and it's goofy as hell. tw: rape, suicide, ableism, weight
