July 10, 2023 Hermits Unite!
We have some very lengthy readings in this episode we recorded a few weeks ago (whoops) as we try desperately to rush through the Tribe sections of this book. Stormfur feels White Guilt, there is a cougar???, and everyone is DYING in the forest.
We also read a masterpiece of writing by Ursula K. Le Guin for a refresher :)

Up next week: Chapter 16-18

Back to Moonrise, and we are unfortunately now deep in the chapters concerning the Tribe and all the very bad anti-Native/Indigenous stereotypes pertaining to them. Back in the forest, everyone is being homophobic to Windclan who are DYING.

May 21, 2023 Bloodline Determinism
We continue Moonrise as the cats venture into the mountains on their return journey, where they unfortunately run into a group of cats that perpetuate some bad anti-Indigenous stereotypes. If you want to read more about this, an amazing write up by several Indigenous authors has been posted here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nnCCD4TfR-5MZie9hQgpDfEE4mYpCtjNXQpD9VqOkxs .
Meanwhile, back in Thunderclan, Leafpaw's romance continues in the face of terrible destruction and everyone's inability to cooperate.

December 06, 2022 Brightheart With A Gun
The cats finally set out on their journey, and Leafpaw is cursed to be the Secret Keeper. We do talk about the book this episode, but we also make a mindblowing discovery that completely derails the conversation about halfway through.
