Time to talk about the big thing that has, quite literally, plagued us all for over a year: COVID-19. I examine the ways this pandemic has impacted our political sphere, the fake news that continues to spread about the illness, and the mental health epidemic that arose from the lockdown. WEAR YOUR MASKS AND GET VAXXED!! Keep everyone, including yourself, safe.

This episode is a tribute to my late father and inspired by my amazing older cousin. I discuss what it's like living without a father, the mental health issues that arose, and life with an amazingly strong single mother.

Welcome back! After this long wait, I've come back to talk about my personal experiences with my identity (both racially and ethnically) through my eyes and how it has affected my mental health, day-to-day life, and current views on racial topics.

This week, I discuss the concept of "Rainbow Capitalism" with my friend Connor. We go over what it is, and its effects on the LGBTQ+ community.

To celebrate pride, this week we're discussing the basic terms of the LGBTQ+ alphabet! 

Disclaimer: there are other identities than what is described in this video and they are completely valid. However, to name every identity in the community would take many many hours, so I just compiled the most common ones for today.
