Hello beautiful people! We have a real return to the podcast with an updated setup, updates on life, discussing my disgust for the bezos wedding, and diving deep on fatphobia, the recent rise in rhetoric, it’s connection to conservatism and white supremacy. How we can rebel against the empire by radically accepting our bodies and taking up literal and figurative space. I’ve also got a tarot reading for the week ahead, seems like some of us need to take the training wheels off, use our voice, and follow our hearts!
babblings will be out every Monday of July and August, make sure your subscribed somewhere all the places you can get babblings are linked below.
