Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 10 - democracy rises. This is another call to patriotism. Not one born from a nationalistic nightmare or some technofascism fever dream, but one born from the American Dream. One where we all share in freedom, liberty, and justice. One where we live up to the promise of that dream.

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 8 - freedom shall ring. It’s Independence Day weekend and I’m fired up right now.

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 7 - fireworks fly. I’m an Army veteran. I’m damn proud of my service to this country and the Oath I swore when enlisting. It’s appalling what we have become and we have strayed so far. I wrote this poem on Independence Day, in honor of that patriotism and what has been lost; however, what was lost can be found. Lost is not gone, just misplaced. fireworks fly is a call to regain it and retake our symbols.
