  • Season Finale: Let's Get Mystical!
    Tw: violence, abuse, graphic, death, climate change
    In honor of spooky season (which is really year round), Mary & Tina share their mystic journeys, beliefs and perceptions of unexplainable and unattainable experiences. From ghosts, to souls, to paranormal activity, we share our truth. What’s yours? Tell us at [email protected] or/and find us on IG @marywilliams645 and @xtinaung.

  • Physical (Mis)Education
    Don’t be surprised at what you’re about to hear from us. P.E sucks. From the Vietnam Trail (yes, actually a trail we ran on campus), how we grew to love exercise, and passing out in front of your classmates. Mary and Christina’s relationship with physical education in the American public schooling system takes many turns. How many pushups could you do when you were 14? And why the fuck did that even matter?!
    TW: fatphobia, harassment, gender binary, sexualization, body shaming
    No resources to provide besides our ability to rant about anything. You now how it be - [email protected], IG: @xtinaung and @marywilliams645.

  • Consent is Sexy

    Consent is Sexy! You heard us right. Listen along as Mary describes her thesis and we go on a Twilight tangent. Pop culture references are included as examples of media and content that represents the do’s and don’ts of consent. We owe this episode to Smart Bitches Trashy Books and Tarana Burke.

    TW: rape, abuse, sexual intimacy

  • Socialization of Feminine Friendships
    This is a long one folks to buckle up. In response to the Binchtopia episode “Heterosexuality is a Trauma Response,” Mary & Tina provide further evaluation to Adriene Rich’s idea of compulsory heterosexuality. What does that even mean!?? It starts with our relationship to the patriarchy and how the sexes (male/female) have been socialized to have traits commonly recongized as masculine or feminine. Are women unable to pursue any person other than the cis-het-MAN? Decenter men, and love your feminine friendships! Basically, get your head out of the binary.
    TW: sexism, abuse, patriarchy, gender binary, harassment

  • The Trump Effect (Thesis Evaluation)

    In this episode we evaluate Tina’s thesis for her Master’s in Human Rights Education. We discuss how Trump as a figure has become weaponized through his presidency and how within education, students of color are at risk. Pieces from Tina’s thesis such as participant stories are also highlighted. There was a struggle with brain today. You will find the thesis “Contextualizing BIPOC High School Students’ Racialized Experiences Under Trump” in the link below.

    TW: Critical Race Theory (CRT), Trump, racism, public education, grooming, microaggressions

  • English Isn't English
    English is more than we think. We took it a bit further starting with Mary’s professional background in the English language and a history lesson. Tina goes into the way we use English as a language, a barrier, and it’s effects in practice under (white) American culture.
    CW: multilingualism, colonization, gender & language, academic institutions

  • Importance of a Diverse Community

    The rise in conversations around Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)—diversity in general—are coming in many forms. Our working definition of a diverse community ranges from age, music taste, sexuality, and economic status. What does it mean for us ALL to be surrounded by people who don’t exactly reflect every identity we hold? 

    CW: race, gender, class, politics, BIPOC belonging

  • Intimacy

    Can you, do you, consent to intimacy? How do you define intimacy? We explore intimate moments as separate from vulnerability, and also as a partner too. *can you hear our excitement?* Examples are shared in what intimacy looks like, as it is more than physical and/or sexual intimacy. Brene Brown really carried us through. :,) 

    CW: assault, physical/emotional vulnerability, gender binary, manipulation

    We are excited to hear from you! Please reach out to us on Instagram or via email at [email protected].

About Sunday Showcase

Best friends Mary and Christina (Tina) discuss varying topics that impact their communities from their own points of view. They recognize that there is shared lived experience under patriarchy, capitalism and white supremacy and provide trigger/content warnings per episode. The purpose of Sunday Showcase is to be transparent, vulnerable, and conscious of the past, present and future.
