Hello Comrades in Trash! As you'll notice, today's episode is a part one--Pam is 71 years old and, in my mind, that merits multiple episodes.

As always, please take a second to check in with yourself as today's episode contains graphic content about abortion, domestic violence, abuse, etc. If you're ready, let's dive in.

Buckle up and get ready for another deep-dive into failure.
