Lola Bloom on being trans online: "I think the space I aim to create would pave the way for trans kids to do similar work in an environment that isn't so hostile or alienating. I also think that giving people a space to exist and to be authentically themselves while they share skills and grow is integral to helping our community heal. It's incredibly difficult to transition and providing people the encouragement and resources they need is always my biggest success."Lola's Discord: https://discord.gg/aDMWFZMtz2

Vicky Osterweil's book, as she puts it, seeks to answer two questions: "why are all superhero movies the same?" and "why did Disney lobby the Biden administration to stop them sharing the COVID vaccine with the third world in 2021?" THE EXTENDED UNIVERSE, her upcoming book, is all about the role of Disney in the nuclear family, ageism, and the state. On this podcast, we talk about media, trans health, and (yas) our childhoods projecting transness onto various Disney characters.

In this episode, mk and Jennie chat about age inclusion in the punk scene, the role of art in social movements, and so much more.
