Episode 276 - The Racist Imperialism Lurking in Your Body Image
Act Out! podcast
A seldom considered connection is the one between genocidal imperialism and body image. But as we sift through history and into the shallow dumbshittery of eugenics, we find not only the drive to mass murder "inferior races," but to define beauty along those very same genocidal lines.

Episode 275 - The Multitudes Within For The Multitudes Without

Act Out! podcast
Cue the "this is so un-American" speeches. Anytime something horrible happens, it's immediately lambasted as being un-American when in reality, it's actually very VERY American.
info_outlineCome into the nerdery and help me chew over some of the ideas from Douglas Rushkoff's book Team Human.
How do linear belief systems fuck over the planet and ultimately of course, humans too? How can a cyclical perspective change the way we are in relationship with ourselves, each other and the planet?
