    Happy pride month!

    To end the month off right join us while we put on a lofi chill beats paylist to get a little chill and discuss Queer Icon, The Babadook (this makes sense, just go with it). Rainbow Capitalism is bad, co-opting a character in a horror movie to be a part of the LGBTQIA2+ community? good.

  • The Worst Part of Waking Up

    Listeners, you're are our gift this year.

    In this episode, Brit and Taylor discuss the internet's reaction to a wholesome Christmas Folgers coffee commercial about siblings that gave off some weird vibes and led to the creation of the  Folgercest fandom.  Also, they discuss r/menwritingwomen, a subreddit devoted to sharing comically bad descriptions of female anatomy in published fiction.  It's pretty cringe, as the kids would say.

    Edit: Hey Brit here, my audio is a lil crackly this episode because my mic fell on the floor and has been weird. Sorry!
