  • History of Tarot

    Brianne takes a dump!

    There's a lot of misinformation about tarot floating around Dolly Parton's internet. Claims of appropriation abound- but those are rooted in misinformation that dates back to the 17th century.

    Brianne talks about the history of tarot- from its origins as an Italian game, the oldest extant sets we have, and this 17th century dude who made a hobby of creating elaborate lies as to the history and origin of the cards in his newsletter.

    Violet and Brianne talk about how they like to use tarot cards and why you might like them too!

    Brianne talks about DMT entities- the themes of critters that unconnected folks across different see while on DMT.

  • *FEED DROP!* Rampage Ministry - "When the World Ended"

    FOLLOW THIS SHOW ON ITS OWN FEED TO KEEP UP WITH FUTURE EPISODES

    Every good story needs context. Thirty-eight years after a carnivorous, infectious plant called Rampage destroys earth, humans are in diaspora. Grizz Cortez, having a mysterious connection to the origin of Rampage, is the only human to survive an infection. She lives a solitary life on her ship, the Lolita Lebrón, managing her unique disability and evading detection by the Rampage Ministry.

    To understand Grizz's story, you need to understand how Rampage came to be. You need to understand what things were like when the world ended.

  • The International Space Station

    Violet takes a dump!

    Violet talks about the International Space Station. She starts all the way back in 1883, when someone who we all suspect to be a time traveler drew up a plan for a habitation vessel that orbited earth. She takes us through which steps in the space race directly contributed to the international, collaborative science lab we all know and love.

    In space, you poop in a funnel and they suck it out of your butt. Learn this and other cool space facts, in this episode of Infodumpies.

  • Intro to Linguistics

    Brianne takes a dump!

    Brianne has a degree in linguistics she never really uses, so please- indulge a girl and listen to her explain the basics of linguistics at you for about an hour.

    Brianne talks about phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. She talks about some of her favorite interdisciplinary fields under the umbrella of "applied linguistics." She also shows you a fun trick you can use at parties, if those parties are mostly filled with nerds who think this shit is cool

    Also, why was Noam Chomsky emailing Jeffrey Epstien, huh? HUH, NOAM?!

  • Solo Dump: hEDS, POTS, MCAS, & Autism

    Brianne takes a solo dump!

    Brianne is not a doctor, nor does she play one on TV- but she does know that more autistic people should know about the cluster of neuroimmune conditions associated with autism. Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Mast Cell Activation syndrome are the big trifecta of conditions that are overrepresented in the autistic community.

    Brianne, having all three, explains studies showing how these conditions are connected to one another, as well as autism. The goal of this episode- to equip you with knowledge to take to your healthcare provider, if you expect you experience these conditions. If you're autistic, the likelihood you have one or all of these is greatly increased (and Brianne's gonna tell you about some research that supports that).

  • Argots and Language Games

    Violet takes a dump!

    Pig Latin! Ubbie Dubbie! Diner Speak! Cockney Rhyming Slang! Tutnese! All of these change language for the purpose of making it inscrutable to outsiders- some for fun, like Ubbie Dubbie, and some to hide from oppressors, like Tutnese.

    Violet talks about well known English language games and argots- and a couple of Spanish ones too,. You might even discover one you want to learn yourself.

  • Permaculture

    Brianne takes a dump!

    Okay, so Brianne has been trying to turn their tiny yard in the city into an urban food forest, and she realized a little while ago that Violet might not have understood some of her motives. What's the perfect opportunity to explain this to her? An Infodumpies episode!

    Brianne talks about permaculture around the world, modern permaculture, and food forests. We learn about the soil in the Amazon River basin, the Kihamba gardens of Tanzania, and the coastal Salish food forests in modern British Columbia.

  • Mini Dumps: Chupacabra, Crossbows, George Hackenschmidt, Sodium Lamps

    It's Mini Dumps!

    Violet dumps about the history of the crossbow. Brianne dumps about Puerto Rican icon- the chupacabra- and why people in the States view him as a different creature than folks in Latin America. Violet talks about sodium lamps- the reason old street lamps had that orange glow (and were arguably better). Brianne talks about why Eastern European countries have so many weight lifting movements named after them, and the inventor of the bench press- George Hackenschmidt.

  • International Signage

    Violet takes a dump!

    Did you know that it's a violation of the Geneva convention to display anything approaching the likeness of the Red Cross symbol? Did you know how we got the biohazard symbol? The "exit sign" guy? Why are traffic signs in most countries similar enough to be understood by someone from another country? Learn in this episode, as Violet takes a dive into internationally recognized- and sometimes internationally protected signage. We're going to be putting a "dangerous forces" sign above our toilet while you listen.
