  • She is a cat in the dark

    I celebrate Cat Nights by claiming the night in feral cat form and frolicking under the stars with my cat children. We also enjoy singing/yeowling Rhiannon and blaring our favorite Stevie Nicks songs. 100% recommend this activity.🐈‍⬛✨🌙

    PS Cats are lactose intolerant, so please just leave out water and cat food for your local strays 🖤

  • Crisis Centers help

    I was helped tremendously by a crisis pregnancy center. Even 3 years later and a new baby, they help with a lot of things. Planned parenthood never once offered me free diapers. Planned parenthood is evil. Why hate crisis pregnancy centers when they’re funded by donors?

  • Need to take a break.

    I think there’s too much of a push to make content these days that we’re missing the point of the show. When there are fewer episodes per week, the show has a lot more depth. With each of the mini episodes and check in episodes (don’t forget the ads), it’s losing its important voice in all the fluff. Scaling down would make for better engagement.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Female Firsts: Hyers Sisters
Q: Who are we discussing today, Yves?
The Hyers sisters—Anna Maeda Hyers and Emma Louise Hyers—pioneers in Black American theater and music who created early American musicals and brought Black performers into more varied stage roles.
SMNTY Classics: Spoiled Saturdays - Across the Spider-Verse
Q: What makes Cross the Spider-Verse different from the first film in terms of storytelling?
It broadens the multiverse concept, deepens character backstories (especially Gwen and Miles), and foregrounds the consequences of canon events, while balancing vast animation styles with intimate character moments.
SMNTY Classics: Can I be a feminist and still enjoy trashy reality TV shows?
Q: Can you really consume reality TV in this way, do you think?
The guest argues that you should not only consume reality TV for entertainment but also engage with it critically, using media literacy tools to separate entertainment from the embedded messages about gender, race, and power.
SMNTY Classics Redux: E. Jean Carroll
Q: Not My Type delves into your two lawsuits against Donald Trump. Could you break that down for us so the audience is on the same page?
Carroll explains the sequence: a defamation suit against the sitting president for remarks about her, followed by a second suit for sexual assault under the Adult Survivors Act; the first suit resulted in a unanimous jury verdict holding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and the second addressed damages, with the outcome reinforcing survivor credibility and the importance of accountability.
SMNTY Classics: Dr. Pragati Singh
Q: What inspired you to start Indian Aces and build a community platform?
She explains realizing a need for a community and a space for information, memes, and advocacy, which eventually grew into a larger movement with offline meetups and academic work.
