Accio Politics


Jun 16, 2020

Adri and Helene scream into the void once again (for two and a half hours), thanks to JK Rowling's twitter and recent/current events shaping the dystopic YA novel no one asked for and that we're currently inhabiting (seriously, at least most of those had a juicy love triangle, can someone tell me that they've been embroiled in a juicy love triangle during this time? Because if so, please dm me. I love gossip. Find me on twitter @ananabanana). In this non-traditional episode of our little podcast, we talk about:
 
1. Judgemental Karen Rowling's Transphobia, why the arguments in her essay hold no merit, responses to her statement, the danger of her transphobic views, and we answer some questions we got on twitter. 
 
2. Defund the Police - what that means, and spoiler alert, it's not what your Fox News aunts and uncles think it means. This also includes a discussion on the importance of Black Lives Matter and how social structures further discourage equity in our communities.
 
3. Media we've been consuming in this hellscape of a year.
