sick lit girl

sick lit girl is back! An update coming, and new episodes (along with old) will be reposted. This episode is a critical examination of the Red Scare podcast hosted by Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova. I discuss its changes over the years of its run (2018-present), from an initial leftist perspective to their movement far right - and their overall contrarian emptiness. This episode went viral online when it was originally posted.

I also discuss their online communities in detail, and share what happens with a lead mod who is now very well known as an abuser of women, in part thanks to my outing of him. Since exposing him, I have dealt with mass harassment from alt right men and radfem women from this community and the rs world, involving AI and highly edited photos, texts, videos of me created, people making many fake accounts pretending to be me online, a kind of hysteria that is so Kafkaesque, it lead to be almost losing my mind. This episode was posted in November of 2025 originally, and I haven't been online for months - but sick lit girl is back.

I will be sharing an update soon. If you want to follow, there is a brand new instagram: sicklitgirl and also twitter @sicklitgirl - remember that my online persona is a bit different from the pod itself, as I play with performance and identity a fair amount... but so do others, as they have toyed with me. There is also a new discord, DM me on one of the social media accounts or email [email protected] for access!
