Jarrett’s back from vacation where he got an acute case of the giggles, and passed them on to Tre’Vell. This week, they dive into the mailbag to respond to listener questions...and listener shade. Strap in, cause this episode covers A LOT of ground. Like, three whole continents worth of ground.  From the African continent, we hear from Akani who takes Jarrett & Tre’Vell to task for saying the COVID vaccine isn’t as available “in Africa”. Lucas in Brazil laments that “coming out” is extra burdensome for intersectional folks like them who are transmasculine, non binary, aro, ace and gay. Plus, lots of listeners from the U.S. 

Episode Notes:

We received a letter from an Ace/Aro-identifying fan. Don’t know what those terms mean? Well, OULGBTQ + Society wrote definitions. 

Here is a list of episodes that Jarrett and Tre’vell recommend checking out after listening:

Episode 45 - Freelancing In Beyonce’s Gig Economy

Episode 75 - Colorism: White Supremacy’s Stank Ass Grandchild (ft. Jarrett Lucas)

Episode 77 - Colorism Part 2 (ft. Portia Bartley)

Episode 78 - No Cis-sies Allowed (ft. Da’Shaun Harrison), and after you listen don’t forget to buy Da’Shaun’s book Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness.
