I haven't felt this way about a podcast episode in years.

Trauma explored without melodrama, and the adults those children became trying to move past it. And yet, it's hopeful and beautiful.

On Mother's Day, I am reminded that caring for others makes it a lot harder to rise up in revolution. The powerful always have a lever to keep you in submission.

Moms for Liberty Came to Philly. Philly Came for Them.
This city is welcoming to just about everyone—except hateful fascist bigots, as the Moms for Liberty found out.

I just noped out of Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, book 3 of the Brandon Sanderson kickstarter, during a scene where 2 people "have" to bathe in front of each other.

This a trope I find skeevy even when brief, and it ain't brief.

Lack of consent can't be justified into being fun (but he tries.)
