30:56||Ep. 9"We don't seek to create forever institutions or parties. We acknowledge that we need to retain the flexibility to move with conditions and to counter the tendency of power to collect and stay in certain places."8. Pearson, Host of Coffee with Comrades
59:34||Ep. 8Fuck theory, do shit.To change everything, start anywhere.Don't ever be deceived into thinking that you and a small group of your friends can't change the world. Stay wild. Stay young. Stay free.7. Lola Bloom, Transfeminine YouTube Influencer
41:41||Ep. 7Lola 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/aDMWFZMtz26. Vicky Osterweil, Author of THE EXTENDED UNIVERSE
46:00||Ep. 6Vicky 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.5. Jennie Bastian, founder of Communication
26:59||Ep. 5No, Jennie Bastian did not invent communication as a concept. But she DID start a really cool punk venue by that name!

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.4. Cate Moses, Artist and Housing Advocate
20:23||Ep. 4"We were organizing and enacting mutual aid without having the words to call it that. Again, I credit my parents. They were hella organizers. Their tentacles reached way beyond our backwoods area. Without the internet. So I actually did know at an early age that resistance was not only possible but necessary. When the school told us asinine things like girls can't wear pants or salute the flag or there are different rules for poor and less poor; for different colors, when we figured out that our local volunteer fire dept. was the KKK, I knew what to do. Organize and fight back. Burn the flag, walk out of school, stand up on a desk and yell, sing, take to the woodswith your comrades. The possibilities are more numerous today, with digital media to amplify us, and youth so savvy and informed and using it to organize."
