  • Summary

  • Westin (he/they) and Easton (she/her) get into part 3 of our 4-parter about recent Twitter main character Emma Camp's New York Times op ed and the larger implications of the article. In this episode we dive deeper into her sources, their bizarre anecdotes, and important details Ms. Camp left unsaid. Meanwhile, at Sarah Lawrence: signs and the signers who sign them. We also discuss the detrimental impact that Sam Abrams has on free speech there after an outcry for accountability from students on campus. We also set the stage for the act 4 reveal that is wild as heck. Threads include: Authoritarian crackdowns on free speech, lying to position yourself in a favorable light, people in positions of power protecting their own, and the reality of “free speech” on college campuses. We also rant about invoking the moniker of activist at the expense of people who are really in the streets doing the work, something called the cloud act, IDF violence in Palestine, and the CDC’s efforts to downplay rising covid cases. Content warning for a brief description of sexual predation, institutional violence, and more symbolic attacks on the rights of Black people and the LGBTQIA+ community.
