Sh**p Talk

i can't people today.

Season 1, Ep. 4

I'm in a dark mood after peopleing too much, and trying to work out how much I want to people (not much) and with how many people (not many) in the future. Also unpacking some of the things I don't like about the writing communities I've been in.

  • 7. cleaning is good for the soul.

    54:49
    Cleaning is a form of meditation (yes, it's valid), the patriarchy is everywhere (again? still?), ambiguity in media (especially around women), and I found a new pen that I absolutely effin' love!
  • 6. millennials just want community.

    01:07:36
    This time it's about toxic productivity habits (again, because they don't' just go away) and not listening to the bro-marketer demon telling me to do MORE, pondering what a true community is made of, recounting some autistic socialising challenges, and looking at how the post-war culture shift to the middle class and showing off wealth shaped the mentality of millennials.Intro by Kendra.
  • 5. for the love of the gods, read.

    53:26
    Today the cats are wild, I talk about systematising and pattern recognition, being autistic, storytelling as controlled social experiment and what ways of reading are legitimate ways of reading (answer: all).
  • 3. ugly dancing.

    45:55
    I love spotting ugly dancing in pretty media and love artists who dare to be something other than pretty and polished. Also, sales advice from 1935.
  • 2. my week.

    01:08:20
    Join me in my vibes this week as I navigate anaemia, a lack of third spaces and the patriarchy in books.
  • 1. pilot.

    45:29
    Kicking off by talking about burnout, creativity, having the work history of a millennial, and trying to find my way back to creativity. Not just in art, but in life.
