In 2022, people continued to be angrier that fans of color dared to talk about the racism they were seeing/experiencing in fandom they were about the racism in fandom itself. In 2022 priorities remained skewed, racists were even bolder, people keep insisting that talking about racism in fandom is anti fandom in and of itself, and once again I am reminded that I alone (to say nothing of other fans of color speaking up in smaller spaces) am punished and harassed more for documenting this stuff than anyone is for being racist in queer/feminist fandom.

I've watched the first episode of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War twice in the past twenty-four hours. I recorded this episode... so I would at least take a few minutes before diving right back into it for a third time.

The second part of my two-part Festa episode arc. This is all about the tough stuff - the Festa dinner, enlistment (broadly), the not-hiatus, and the future of BTS and ARMY.
I'm grateful for the fandom, having the room to explore and talk about stuff so I unpack it, my co-fans who lent me their voices for this episode, and of course... I'm grateful to BTS for being willing to be vulnerable on main in a world where that's not always respected.
I'll update the listing and/or my website with the show notes ASAP!Support the Show.

The first of several BTS-related episodes. This is all about the content that we've gotten: the end of the Grammys, the PTD in Las Vegas concerts, the anthology album Proof, and the content overload that is FESTA 2022.
This episode wound up not having any audience participation. The next episode, about the FESTA dinner and news of a "hiatus" will have... at least one.Support the Show.

On our latest episode, I caught up with Tabitha Carvan, author of the book this is not a book about benedict cumberbatch: the joy of loving something -- anything-- like your life depends on it
Tabitha's book is a callback to everything that I loved about Sherlock fandom and what does make fandom so good and empowering even with its rough spots. We had a great chat about what we love, how we love it, and what are some of the best parts of being in a fandom!
this is not a book about benedict cumberbatch is out May 31st wherever you buy books! pre-order it today!Support the Show.

I've always been accused of being a Tumblr or armchair activism but like all the things assigned to me... I don't claim this either. But isn't it interesting that caring makes you an activist (derogatory) but not caring makes you a hero? In fandom, at least. I'm so tired.

In this "Bonus" Episode, I talk about... how Steven Hassan's BITE model of fandom can be applied in multiple fandom contexts because fandom is a space that's kinda... rife for cults of personality, manipulation, etc at EVERY level. But also that there's a difference between "culty" and "a cult" and people do need to get that too.

CONTENT NOTESThis episode obviously has spoilers for the first episode of Marvel and Disney+’s Loki. We also speculate about the future of the show and its arcs/plots in a way that may prove to become spoilers if we’re as accurate as we want to be. Additionally, we talk candidly and cheerfully about villains, what they do, and why we connect with them (in the specific and general sense). While we don’t talk about anything in specifics - I feel - we do brush over cannibalism, The Authority’s fascism, and all the dreadful things in the plot of the 1999 film Titus. We also talk about our experiences in fandom over the years. Use your own best judgment, babes.
