Summary: House of the Dragon continues to deliver banger after banger, and the trend continues with Unbowed and Unbent. We have mommy issues galore, Westerosi abortion advocacy, and the continual exploration of what the moral responsibility of motherhood entails. Also, not sure if you've heard, but there are cats in the Red Keep and skinchangers(????) at Harrenhal. We have wounded male egos and the denial of feminine intuition, plus so much more on this episode of the pod

There's so much more inside, so come take a peek!

Episode Summary: We're back in Barrys Bay for episodes 3, 4 & 5 of Every Year After. On one hand, I can't stop watching. On the other hand, the integrity of the book is out the window and we need to just accept the rollercoaster ride we're on. Who needs Percy & Sam when we have Jordie and Chantal? There are some really rich feminist themes woven through these few episodes and also some questionable choices. Who are we to judge? We stan some messy drama

Feminist Follow-Through: No matter how chaotic and unnecessary the passport drama was with Chantal, it would have been significantly worse IRL. Let's be real, this US Admin is not favorable to people crossing boarders, and with her expired passport, Chantal would have been in a pretty bad situation. So many immigrants in this country are facing a far worse situation, so let's protect our most vulnerable and call our reps and stop migrant abuse at ICE centers.

Summary: Welcome to Romantasy Summer here at Femme & Furious, where we are breaking down the first half of Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole! This is a story about fate, prophecy, and a super badass woman named Diem Bellator. In this episode, we dive into conversations about race, gender, and class hindrances to Diem, as well as her growing resentment towards her mother, who has lied to Diem and has kept her (potentially) unnecessarily medicated. If you love chatting about helicopter moms, Christian nationalism, men and their role in contraception, and the camaraderie of women in impoverished areas, then join me as we begin to unravel the Kindred's Curse.

Summary: The Fairy Bi Mother, AKA Capri Campeau, has visited Femme & Furious. Not only are we hanging out with queer royalty and a gem of a human, but Capri & Julia dive into all things bisexual baddie related. There are ten categories, ranging from characters to items, all celebrating what it is to be bi. Happy Pride Month to everyone listening.

Feminist Follow-Through: For this episode, Capri has requested that all feminist efforts go towards supporting her bestie and co-host, Ashley Whitfield. Ashley is a Black Queer Creator with a passion for making the world better and safer for everyone, especially our Black & Trans community. Capri waxed poetic about her, so i'm attaching a direct link to her venmo, where you can choose to donate if it tickles you! https://linkly.link/2lKvL

Summary: Rhaenyra Targaryen is learning in real time how to win friends & influence people. Turns out, occupying the Iron Throne requires more than just serving face... it also means you have to serve your people. Rhaenyra is dealing with stabilizing her kingdom, fending off a bloodthirsty Daemon, trying (and failing) to appease Corlys, grieving her son, and everything else that is required of her. P.S she's now broke. On this episode of Femme & Furious, we're diving into the expectations placed on women in leadership, the idea of false prophets, and what happens when the realization of the crushing reality that you can't "have it all" sinks in.

Join the 2 Femme, 2 Furiouscommunity & cultural salon! We've got something for everyone! Help me take this podcast from a singular platform and turn it into a beautiful, feminist ecosystem filled with mutual support, nurturance, and growth! Together we can fangirl over our favorite shadow daddies (we're covering ACOTAR starting July 15th) and also deepen our feminist lore. Everything we are building is all about radical joy as resistance, together!

Plus, I'm giving away 3 free memberships! All you have to do is leave a review On Apple
