This week we bring you our last episode before our summer break! We reflect on the passing of our dear friend Nikeeta Slade, co-host of QueerWoc and all around leftist badass. We miss you! (Time stamps from 0:00 to 8:25) We discuss the situation in Palestine, the incarceration of Ashley Diamond, and why rest is so important! We’ll be back in mid-August, but will have some fun summer content on patreon!
