    Cinema Against The State: A Conversation with Hazel

    Send us a text Hazel—video editor, filmmaker, Peertuber, and self-described Jewish Gore Whore—joins me today for philosophical exploration of our relationship to art.

In this episode, we unpack: The politics of imagination: storytelling sovereignty vs. colonizers of the imaginationReclaiming outsider art and creating work that isn’t state- or capital-approvedThe aesthetics and ethics of low-budget horror, and working beyond traditional narrative forms - an anarchist approach to artThe need for queer rage in artA vision of cinema unshackled from theatre and the novel—and what emotional catharsis looks like without plot🎥 Follow Hazel on Spectra.video - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

    URGENT Call to Action + Moving Past the 'Harris or Trump' Ultimatum

    Send us a text PLEASE HELP MARCELLUS WILLIAMS: savemarcellus.org. He will be executed on Sept. 24th, 2024 if we can't convince Gov. Parson of Missouri to stop it. Please call, email, post, and share. In the main episode, Nic talks about the current presidential election and how Democrats are playing chicken with voters, attempting to win over Republicans while neglecting their progressive base. Despite these dangerous and offensive tactics, the anyone who attempts to critique Harris or demand better before committing their vote is screamed at and told, "Enjoy four more years of Trump, then!"  This episode explores the dangers of this one-sided electoral strategy and critiques the loud calls to "vote blue," which often ignore the complexities of voter concerns and facilitate the Democratic Party's pulling the nation further to the right as they YET AGAIN run on a campaign of, "Vote for me because I'm not him." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

    Thoughts on Sobriety, Childhood Trauma, and ADHD

    Send us a text Hello! I'm back, did you miss me??? I decided to sit down today and knock out a casual chat style episode to break my silent streak. This is sort of a prelude to the healing series as I talk about a lot of thoughts and feelings that have come up for me over the last year or so while healing, trying to understand myself better, and going on a sober journey. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

Calls to Action Attend demonstrations.Contact (email) representatives.If in a union, have union endorse ceasefire.Engage in disruptive action (blocking arms shipments, etc.).Boycott businesses that support Israel.Join a solidarity organization.Never vote for Israel-supporting politicians.Never stop talking about how f****d up this is.

    I'm a Barbie Grrrl: My Exhaustion Over Leftist Barbie Discourse + Updates!!!

    Send us a text Hi Barbie! 👋 Whew, the Barbie movie really caused a stir on all sides of the political spectrum, didn't it! The right is losing their minds over this cornucopia of "toxic femininity" while the left (leftist women, specifically) can't seem to tear it apart fast enough for not being a radical feminist manifesto that will topple the patriarchy. Many of us, who enjoyed the film as a campy, queer, femme summer romp are tired. So tired. We just wanted to have fun and celebrate this cultural moment. So today, I go on a partially unhinged rant (that was, in my defense, actually asked for) to talk about my feelings around the Barbie Discourse (TM), what the movie meant to me, and at not one but TWO points I shed my own real human tears about it. Link to TikTok Where Dad Reviews Barbie: I think my dad really liked Barbie #barbie #barbiemovie #moviereview #... | barbie movie review | TikTok Before all that, I give some MAJOR life updates and talk about what's up next for Pynk Spots, which is the release (finally!) of my healing journey series - a project that bloomed from one focused episode to what will now be a series of at least nine. I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm ready to go on this journey with all of you and can't wait to share what's next! 🖤 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

    I'm So Sick (yes this is a Flyleaf reference!)

    Send us a text Nic is sick! What else is new?! I talk about coming down with bronchitis and trying to process that emotionally. A loose, ramble-y episode about dealing with recurrent illness, attitudes about healing, irritation at the opinions of others, and a need for socialization while this bout of bronchitis reinforces my terror of catching COVID. You know, the yoosh. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

    My Jury Duty Experience

    Send us a text After missing an episode in February, I'm back with a juicy, chonky, three-hour epic tale for you all! I talk about serving on a jury for the first time - how it works (here in the U.S. and in California specifically), what the details of the case were, how we voted, my perception of this as a prison abolitionist, and my experience as an autistic juror.  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!
