  • Woman-sphere: social media is for woman

    Yes, there’s enough space for conservative nationalist woman to hock their snake oils implants, weaves, marriage tips, books, and vitamin injections, etc., on a Podcast.

    Speaking as a former late 1980’s trad wife, I sold snake oils, vitamins, and slim down drinks long before an influencer was on social media. Our church was social media.

    In fact, Christian women are way better at selling- it’s a family/faith grift. Mix beauty, health, family and faith, and show me the money.

  • Love them all except Political Gabfest

    TBD and What Next are awesome! Absolutely horrified by the craven/out of touch takes in Political Gabfest (special shoutout to Emily Bazelon, woof).

    Love Mary Harris so much! Five stars for her work for sure.
