Gender Journeys

Happy Pride Month! This week, El and Josie talk about "Rainbow Capitalism," and why some versions of it are worse than others.

If you want some more context as to how we arrived at our opinions on capitalism, you can check out some of the following resources:

A podcast about why we could have universal basic income

A podcast about the racist roots of nonprofit & philanthropy

One of El's favorite podcasts with one of their favorite humans, adrienne maree brown, as a guest! Talking about the pressures of capitalism through the lens of the Amazon workers who (almost) unionized

A podcast about transformative justice, which is rooted in anticapitalism, hosted by adrienne maree brown (so you know it's good!)

A video about how capitalism actually interacts with poverty

A video explaining the popular anticapitalist tagline "profit is theft"

One of Josie & El's favorite breweries changed their bathroom signs, and boy do we have opinions. This brewery previously had incredible signs that said "This restroom has two urinals & one stall" and "This restroom has three stalls." They unfortunately changed them to say "This restroom has two urinals & one stall, typical of a MENS restroom, but people of all gender expressions & identities can use it" and "This restroom has three stalls, typical of a WOMANS restroom, but people of all gender expressions & identities can use it." Let's discuss why that sucks!
