The Thing 8: Thanksgiving Edition

We're baaack! Taylor Weech and Erika Prins Simonds return from an illness-induced hiatus to wail into the abyss for a while. Where is all the real news hiding? How can you even tell what's real? Listen for some sage advice — and, as always, curse words — about how to wield the truth against the threat/reality of fascism.

What is Hers

The Thing 9: Finding the Truth in News

We went to a rally, we went to shared public restrooms, we learned which email lists to stay away from...what a week, gang. Erika Prins-Simonds and Taylor Weech share interview clips from a Spokane anti-Muslim ban rally and tips for avoiding burnout as everything disintegrates around you.

The Thing 10: Stop Hovering, Keep Fighting

Taylor and Erika are back! We unpack our classist baggage about gross hotels, question the efficacy of racial "dialogue" and explore the curative properties of rage.

The Baths

Taylor Weech and Erika Prins Simonds talk politics, social justice and vaginas.
