We have debated venturing back into the world of true crime, but wanted to make sure what we were covering was meaningful, informative and frankly a crime for us not to know. This week we're talking about Sundown towns. If you've never heard of these, you're not alone. Sundown towns are a part of the white-washed, buried, dark history that America actively tries to pretend didn't happen, and in some places may still be happening. It is imperative to know our history, lest we be doomed to repeat it. Along with learning about Sundown Towns, we discuss the murder of Carol Jenkins and why it took 30 years for her killer to be caught.

Sundown Towns - TANGENTS & TRUE CRIME

A community for people who hate leaving the house but also want friendship. Talking about things we find fascinating or don't understand and almost certainly getting completely sidetracked along the way with well, tangents.

LOVE WINS AGAIN. This year for pride, we decided to highlight queerness by sharing your stories like we'd share any other smorgasbord of stories because WHAT?? Being gay is normal and should be treated as such...except for when it's fabulous and in those cases, we should highlight just how superior the LGBTQIA+ is!

*ALSO! - we're streaming with  @TheJudgiesPodcast  this Saturday June 8 to raise funds for Palestine. Please consider coming to hang out with us!

You're gay? Well, I'm a mess - Pride Stories

If you thought the drama was good with human AITAH's, wait until you hear the ones written about characters in a game with no rules. We're reading Sims AITAH submissions and getting everyone pregante by Kyle Kyleson like the great plumbob overlords intended.

You're sick for that, Santa, you're sick - AITAH Sims

You all showed up and flooded the inbox with the most incredible stories for Mother's Day and now Jeri has to sue you all for emotional damages. While she may never recover, you all made Ciara feel again- so we're categorizing this as a win.

In my crusty era - Mother's Day Special

We love a tiktok psuedo-science, especially when we have a little story to go along with it. We're both proof of its existence and also part of the problem perpetuating its debatable existence. In this episode, we discuss how we're crocheted together by the universe with invisible strings. Don't believe us? Have you even tried being spiritchal? Grow up.

Don't get so hard that you forget how to be soft - Invisible String Theory

After the success of the Sims episode, we decided that we're just going to start doing what you want more often and what you've been asking for is a place to vent your icks. We're back again describing all of the things that make our faces scrunch up in disgust. Did we accidentally just focus on men doing these things and discover that when women do the majority of these, it's more of a yum than an ick? Maybe.
