I don’t want to do anything a man can. My ambition is much bigger than doing whatever a man can. Men are not my yardstick. If men themselves are not free of the ravages of racism, capitalism and other forms of oppression, it is not enough to say I want to be equal to them or to do whatever they can. As long as patriarchy remains unchallenged, men will continue to be the default and the standard against which everything is measured. My ambition is for much more. I want to be free. Patriarchy, racism and capitalist exploitation cannot be solved on a per individual basis by celebrating exceptional cases who survive and thrive despite those systemic oppressions. Feminism is not me and my friends making it through patriarchy’s obstacle course to live ever after in post-feminist heaven. Feminism is not a few women hurdling over the obstacles. Feminism is the destruction of those obstacles that hold back all those other women who are very much mired in the patriarchal fuckery of the here and now.

E50- Party Time for Episode 50! We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and you’ve been right along with us. Let’s keep going talking about Nebraska, what’s wrong, and how we keep going.

E50- Party Time for Episode 50!

Despite the governor’s best efforts to stop the federal vaccine goals of a shot in every arm as fast as possible, all the pod ladies have gotten their first dose (And April is actually done!) Using the power of the federal vaccine program that eliminates barriers, everyone is now able to schedule their shot. Note - we’re hearing people are acting like real assholes to pharmacists. Just don’t! Schedule your shot, show up on time and move along. See the current federal pharmacy list here: https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Federal-Retail-Pharmacy-Program-Able-to-Vaccinate-18-and-Older.aspx Also, Melody got a quote in Politico on an article about eliminating gun violence! https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/03/29/6-bold-ideas-gun-reform-478423 Buy great books recommended by SeeingRed and the Pod Guests: https://bookshop.org/shop/seeingrednebraska Social Media links: https://seeingrednebraska.com seeingredne@protonmail.com Tweet@seeingredNE FB@seeingrednebraska Instagram @seeingrednebraska

E49- Pod gets vaccinated and says “Thanks Biden” while keeping middle finger pointed at Pete.

E48- Give us More Journalists and Melt the Guns! In an era of corporate corruption, blurred lines between policy makers and industry, and a drought of dollars to pay reporters, it’s never been more important to protect student journalists and their right to an education. With their teachers, they must follow the truth, have integrity, and learn how to craft what they see in the world into the written word. Meanwhile, the same people that want to muzzle student journalists are the same people that believe that 8 hours of training and a background check is too high a burden to carry a loaded gun around town. Yikes…..these people are nuts.
