    GoFundMe link to help me separate from my abusersTranscript on Cohost Instagram post Mastodon postWell, this is why i haven’t released an episode for a couple weeks. Thanks for your patience. The generic warning here would be that this episode contains content which, while not explicit or offensive, may distress some listeners. Discretion is advised.More formally, this is your content warning regarding domestic violence, domestic abuse, childhood trauma, and PTSD. Fortunately none of the discussed traumas are sexual but I’m not taking any chances in this trigger warning. If you want to skip this episode, I totally understand. I’ll still be here. Of all the topics i was hoping to talk about in this podcast, i never thought this particular topic would come up as while i do discuss that which I have lived through, i didn’t think domestic violence and domestic abuse would be on that list. And yes, I do have an ask in this podcast. Link is in the description and i genuinely wish i didn’t need to make this ask. The short version: i was verbally, physically, psychologically and financially abused. This was so extreme i ended up in hospital and i’m recording this from a secure secret location. I need help rebuilding my life after this. I have a GoFundMe set up, and contributions to help me reset after this epic personal disaster would be appreciated. 
  • 13. Fact Vs Truth

    07:09||Season 2022, Ep. 13
    Transcript on cohost.org/Support the show via ko-fi.org/almostlive. Help me pay the cat and feed the bills. There is a very good reason why I sometimes say, "truthful and factual." This show is a factual as it can be and as truthful as it needs to be. Here's a little insight why I say this, and why I am very precise with the language I use. Every word I choose to communicate is, at least to my imperfect undersanding, true. Cover art: Stable Diffusion, prompt: "the cake is a lie"
