    Sleepover Simulation *TEASER*
    2025/07/02

    This week, the girlies are cozied up in their Barbie sleeping bags, reflecting on the innocent beauty, brutal hierarchy, and core memories of sleepovers past in honor of the upcoming Summer Sleepover Tour. From the absolute shame of calling your mom to pick you up early to aspiring to be THAT girl with a basement, they unpack everything that made sleepovers a defining girlhood ritual. Digressions include: nerds rope slander, the power of children writing letters, and an immersive Bat Mitzvah experience.

  • Take Me To Qurch

    Take Me To Qurch
    2025/06/25
    For pride month, the girlies mount a defense against one of the largest threats to queer people today: transphobia. They trace the long history of trans existence and its erasure, unpack how moral panic is used to justify control, why transphobia exists on both the right and the left, and how the freedom to live outside the binary can liberate us from other systems of oppression. Digressions include: the highs and lows of plant parenthood, our no-phone summer so far, and a new candy shaking up the scene.

    The Economy of Outrage
    2025/05/28
    This week, the girlies tackle rage bait: the content that’s engineered to make you mad and keep you scrolling. From gutting historic homes to incendiary Republican rhetoric, they explore how anger became a content strategy and why we keep falling for it. They trace the long history of provocation, once a way to challenge power and now just another feature of your FYP, breaking down how rage bait works, who benefits from it, and why nothing feels shocking anymore. Digressions include the beauty of riding a train, knowing conservative content creators in real life, and the age-old question: does being a woman count as rage bait? We’re going on tour!!!!

    The transmissions have arrived, and the girlies have their predictions: joy as resistance, psychosis over dissociation, and delusional optimism in the face of collapse.

    If He Wanted to Wiretap You He Would
    2025/05/14
    The girlies are back for part two of the immigration series to unpack our modern-day McCarthyism. Starting with a recap of current events (aka The Horrible Things Update), they pick up where they left off in history, discussing Japanese internment, the second Red Scare, post-9/11 surveillance, and how fear of the 'other' has always justified oppression. Digressions include Khloe Kardashian’s venture into protein dust and the comforting fact that, as of today, sunlight is still legal to experience. We’re going on tour!!!!
