It's not you - the really DID say empathy was a sin! That "funny hand gesture" WAS a Nazi salute. We'll talk about the National Cathedral sermon that triggered Trump - the Elon "salute" in the context that they want you to think the problem is with YOUR perception. It's the concept of "hypernormalization" and we'll discuss that AND the concept of The Overton Window - how normalizing lunatic concepts over and over affects how we react to them.

Hi gang - today we help you prepare yourself for the next four years. We take a full mind-body and soul preparation with real world examples and a number of tricks and tips to keep yourself and your family on an even keel. We talk about home prepping for any kind of emergency and also how to prep your mental health. We discuss apps and books you can learn coping mechanisms from. In the real world - what do you do when someone makes a racist comment to you in a grocery store line? How do you use your privilege to help others? Do you want to move to another state or country? How can you choose your media carefully.= to stay informed while avoiding manufactured outrage, click-bait, and sane-washing? We also cover spiritual tools and ways to get involved in advocacy. We're all in this together so let's get ready for what promises to be a tumultuous four(+) years.

Keith and Katie kick off their new podcast with some background on themselves as a former journalist, a former teacher, & the interests that brought them together, then discuss the original nature of the term “apocalypse,” along with some examples of the one we’re currently facing: Mark Zuckerberg’s new Meta “free speech” policy 🙄, plus the recent news conference where Trump did his best impression of the crazy mouse from Pinky & The Brain who’s always trying to take over the world.
