There’s a lot of really great stuff in this episode: a wide range of exciting sounds from Baby Groot, discussions of feminist and academic mothering, and of course some generalized rage directed toward toxic masculinity. Not to mention our illustrious guest, Brenna Clarke Gray, academic and author and public intellectual. All that, framed by my thoughts on navigating diet culture, and the first ever instalment of Kaarina’s Cozy Self-Care Corner! And of course, some readings:

• Brenna’s writing is all over the danged Internet, including BookRiot and Graphixia and her own TinyLetter
• Her piece on UBCAccountable is particularly worth reading!
• Oh, also this piece about how female friendship is a radical act! Seriously, read this one.
