#286 Performative Solidarity

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!

On this episode… It’s a panniversary! One year after the first shutdown in the US we’re still living in a global pandemic and it may be affecting you more than you know. Then, the anti-Black obsession with how low-income folks spend their stimmy. Supporting the Asian community in a time of crisis and when social media solidarity goes wrong

This week’s hot list: Smoothies, routines, therapy, and a luxury purchase! The pandemic’s anniversary effect, the grief effect, who we are now and how we can reset. Stimmy shaming, The North Star, The Momentum Advisors podcast, and why they need to mind the business that pays them. Doing things for the likes – is it clout or solidarity? Mutual funding, learning tools for AAPI solidarity, #stopasianhate, and more.
