Part 2 of our unfortunately already-dated (WE RECORDED 9 DAYS AGO AND THIS IS NOW ANCIENT HISTORY) discussion of genocidal rhetoric and policy-making is out. Again, awareness of these issues is important, but don't bum yourself out if you don't have to. Eat some cake or play some videogames (not that Potter one) and relax.  Good work is being done by lots of people right now, but we may call on you to help throw some stones at some point.

In this episode we discuss the strategies governors are employing to undermine queer rights at all levels, what national actors could be doing to support trans and queer rights, why national newspapers like the New York Times are failing to cover this issue properly and what good coverage might look like, how this effects cis women, why people making grooming accusations have some very weird tolerances for bad behavior, and why, even with all of this bad stuff, there is stuff going on in the world that you can derive hope from.  Seriously, don't bum yourself out. Go listen to our Steve Harvey eps if you need a chuckle. Or consider this trans-themed gaming collection which directly supports queer creators, 

This year it looks like our monthly Patreon donations will be going towards trans organizations. This month we made a donation to activist Erin Reed's substack, which is doing an amazing job tracking and drawing attention to trans legislation.
