Episode Description

It’s another edition of “What the actual fuck is going on?” LFG.

Our intrepid Feminist Buzzkills Lizz and Moji are back and bringing good news from Middle Earth — you know, Illinois and Wisconsin. They also go deep laying out how this week's attack on birth control, abortion, military rights, and voting rights are the latest ingredients in the larger toxic stew of oppression being cooked up by our enemies for 2027. COOL.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

WE HAVE 2026 OSCAR NOMINEES IN THE HOUSE! From the documentary short “The Devil Is Busy,” Feminist Center For Reproductive Liberation Executive Director Kwajelyn Jackson and Head of Security Tracii Wesley talk about the film, and navigating all the challenges providing abortion care under a six week ban in Georgia. It’s a lot, y’all, but they’re dropping the knowledge you didn’t know you needed.

PLUS! Author Kate Schatz is talking about being a teen feminist in the ‘90s, and how her own mom’s experiences inspired her new book, “Where the Girls Were.” It’s a heartbreaking and empowering story of unintended pregnancy, maternity homes, and resilience set in the late 1960s. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll immediately buy her book from an independent bookstore. It’s the only way.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
