All By Myself



It’s the Joselyn solo episode that no one was asking for! Just fiftyish minutes of what I’m reading, watching, doing, working, buying and feeling. Enjoy.

B Sides: The Patriarchal Tyranny of Filing Your Taxes



Nobody likes doing them, but when Joselyn and Lauren file their taxes there’s a little extra irritation that’s always waiting for them: Misogyny.

Also, TurboTax (Intuit) is a garbage company and the reason taxes aren’t free and easy:

B Sides: We Read Much Adult Books



Lauren is resolved to read four adult books this year, so Joselyn describes the books she read in the second half of 2021 to see if anything sounds worthy.

Books discussed:

The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri

Edie Richter Is Not Alone by Rebecca Handler

Authority by Jeff VanderMeer

Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer

The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst

The Reluctant Queen by Sarah Beth Durst

Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit

And I Do Not Forgive You by Amber Sparks


Aaaaand We’re Back!



It’s Season 3 bay-bee, and in this episode we’re looking back at our 2021 projections and setting new ones for 2022 (mostly nail stickers and Call of Duty because it’s been a year and we’re exhausted from the lack of estrogen).

Schrodinger’s Lump



It’s the season finale, so join us as we discuss that thing you found on the side of your throat that never used to be there or that new pain you have in your hip; wherever and whatever it is, math says it’s both cancer and not cancer at the same time.
