Send us a textHello! I'm back, did you miss me??? I decided to sit down today and knock out a casual chat style episode to break my silent streak.

Send us a textNic is sick! What else is new?! I talk about coming down with bronchitis and trying to process that emotionally. A loose, ramble-y episode about dealing with recurrent illness, attitudes about healing, irritation at the opinions of others, and a need for socialization while this bout of bronchitis reinforces my terror of catching COVID. You know, the yoosh.- - - - - -

I talk about serving on a jury for the first time - how it works (here in the U.S. and in California specifically), what the details of the case were, how we voted, my perception of this as a prison abolitionist, and my experience as an autistic juror. - - - - - - -

Jan 31 2023 130 mins  
Send us a textToday is an unscripted ramble about my 2023 thoughts with the overall theme of Not Feeling Like Shit Anymore. The overarching approach is an attempt to accept my brain as it is, to work with it rather than be mad at it, and to embrace the slow approach to things. I've been having horrid work anxiety, struggling to accept my natural ebbs and flows of productivity, and

Dec 15 2022 59 mins  
Send us a textHey my sweet little garbanzo beans! I managed to eek out a December episode between bouts of soul-crushing work, woohoo! This episode is loosely about buying stuff and having stuff, inspired by our last two book club books, conversations in Discord, and my current intense work schedule. This one was off-the-cuff, so less focused than other episodes but hopefully enjoy
