    On the Ideal City

    How do we make cities more enjoyable, accessible, connecting, and full of life? What are the best cities to live in, and ways of living overall that inspire creativity? I initially share some personal experiences re: Beograd (Belgrade) Serbia and Vancouver BC, comparing Eastern Europe to North America. Then I have guest Zane on (previously on the pod!) for the majority of the episode to further discuss how we view different places, and what many cities need more of. Cities/Places mentioned: Belgrade, Vancouver, NYC, Montreal, London, Edinburgh, Chicago, the Midwest, rural environments/small towns Discussions around the need for third spaces, the internet taking over and its consequences. We complain about people suggesting you need to join a hobby to make friends - whatever happened to just hanging out? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Manosphere, Looksmaxxing, Clavicular and Incel Culture

    An exploration of the concept of Ressentiment (popularized by Nietzsche) and applying it to the manosphere, incels, looksmaxxers like Clavicular, along with more cultural commentary. Next week I'll release an interview on this topic with an SLG listener who got the jaw surgery Clavicular has and that many looksmaxxers desperately desire, and her first-hand encounters with the incels and looksmaxxers who invaded the jaw surgery forums she frequented.

    The Indigenous Artist with Terrance Houle

    An interview with Terrance Houle on what it means to be an indigenous artist, his art practice and influences, and critiques of the art world along with expressions like "land back", and "decolonization". Terrance is a member of the Kainai nation on his mother's side, and his father was Ojibwe. Both were residential school survivors - much of his work involves his family, the human body, spirit world, and speaks to issues of history, identity, and colonialism. Unfortunately his accounts re: professional art website and instagram were hacked recently, and this blurb will be updated once both are up and running again. You can find Terrance Houle on his project website ghostdays.com as well as wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrance_Houle Patreon: patreon.com/sicklitgirl Website: sicklitgirl.com/ Instagram: @sicklitgirl Email: sicklitgirl@gmail.com Reddit: reddit.com/r/slgpod/ Hosted on Acast.
