It’s another movie night! This time we’re watching the 2014 movie Pride. It’s about Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, an activist group who raised money for the British miners’ strike of 1984. But it’s also about solidarity, intersectionality, and fabulous friend groups.

Due to some upcoming travel, we’ve decided to do another shootin’ the shit! Christine takes the lead with this one, with a robust list of topics including religion, medicine, current strike actions, AI art, and sumptuary laws. We also talk about Iran, China, and have a bougie food chat.

Today we’re learning about Kwame Nkrumah, a guy who managed to win an election from jail, lead Ghana to independence, and pursue a damned dam. He also founded a party with a sick rooster logo.

We start off with a tarot reading for the community! Then we move on to current events like, uhh, what’s even happening in Ukraine? What about Iran? Other topics: talking to your family about leftism, media recommendations, World Cup predictions, and a fashionable wizard. Christine has ciders in this one.

Christine straight up didn’t do the reading this week because it made their brain hurt, but never fear! Grady is here to give us the TLDR of Rosa Luxemburg’s Social Reform or Revolution, or as Christine likes to think of it, the story of Rosa positively nuking a guy from orbit.

Christine regales us with a tale of plague, wool, and popular revolt that just shows there will always be people to fight oppression! Come for the history, stay for the poorly pronounced Italian. We also discuss a Bohemian angry swan and the English Peasant Revolt.
