kai, the Acadykemic episodes
- sept 25 kai's week
hi friends! listen in to hear me talk about what I've been thinking over the last week, especially about the limits of voting and other establishment-based movements as a mechanism of change. today, I say yet again, that the US empire is not broken—it is operating exactly as designed. this white supremacist, capitalist empire based on slavery, genocide, and stolen land will not give us liberation by us politely asking. it's time we take it.
questions? thoughts? hate mail? <3 you can find me on Instagram @angrybrowndyke! i hope everyone is staying safe in the pandemic right now! love and solidarity to you all.

listen in as i talk about my week, with highlights like the ableism of the Academy and a transphobic professor :)

Universities like Harvard aren't just corporations — they're pseudo-states, with their own branches of oppressive and counterrevolutionary government. Don't believe me? Listen up :)
28 min - you’re not “just lazy:” dismantling harmful narratives of mental illnesswhy do we still act like mental illness is a moral failing? we can do better. in this episode, i discuss narratives of mental health, along with my personal experiences, to show just how harmful the language we use can be.20 min

- climate catastrophe is now! not a decade from today!hi! listen in while i spend about 10 minutes talking about climate activism, and how we have to do a better job of connecting the abstraction (the world is on fire!) to the concrete (people are literally losing their homes and/or lives as land they lived on goes underwater). i want to make clear that this isn’t a research episode! just me, chatting, about how i think we can better spread a message. let me know your thoughts!13 min
