Shrinks on Third

It's the last Tuesday of the month which means it's time for Shrinks After Hours! That's us Shrinks (Julie Mayer and Cindy Ariel), chatting After Hours about things we believe are important to chat about. In this After Hours episode we're chatting about what re-imagined community safety could look like. Join us as we re-think and re-imagine policing and public safety. 

The one in which we learn about the great sacrifices Black people have made fighting in all major wars for the United States, and the thanks they got for it. 

The one in which we talk about the societal split along racial lines. 

The one in which we explore what a matriarchal society might look like. We also take a look at how the patriarchy showed up and dismantled some of the First People's successful matriarchal/matrilineal organizational systems. 

The one in which we explore what critical race theory actually is and why it's at the center of so much controversy right now. 

It's time for our monthly After Hours conversation! This month we talk about how to talk to conspiracy theorists or people with cult-like beliefs. 

The one in which we talk about why it's a better idea to find a different party theme than Antebellum or a different celebration venue than a plantation. There's a horrid past behind that beautiful landscape. 

The one in which we talk about the fate of unaccompanied youth who make the treacherous journey to our southern border. Most are fleeing unimaginable circumstances in their countries of origin and are seeking asylum here; most have families with whom they seek to reunite. They make a dangerous journey, often alone and scared, and with no safe alternative. 

Update: Since we recorded this episode promises have been broken and many many children are being immediately sent away when they arrive at the the border. 

The one in which we talk about the hypocrisy of celebrating July 4th as Independence Day when so many of us are not free. Whose freedom and independence do we celebrate?

It's the last Tuesday of the month and we are talking, After Hours, about how we think racists are born. Hint: It has nothing to do with nature.
