About this listen

We’re two fed-up moms juggling jobs, kids, and the fight against book bans and bigotry. Why should MAGA fear-mongers masquerading as "saviors" decide what we can read? Join Jennifer and Courtney as they amplify the voices of banned book authors and their characters in between mom-ing and trying to survive the capitalist grind of our new Authoritarian America. Visit patreon.com/MILF4Books to become a member of the "MILFia" and join us in fighting for America's freedom to read while unlocking exclusive content.Copyright Courtney Green and Jennifer Mendoza Art Literary History & Criticism Parenting & Families Relationships Social Sciences

  • Sex in a Patriarchal Society with Dr. Richmond
    May 14 2025
    Jennifer and Courtney sit down with Somatic Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist, Dr. Holly Richmond to discuss all the things SEX. Topics include but are not limited to: How long penile penetration should last (the answer may surprise you!), why douche's are bad in practice but good for namecalling, how to talk to adolescents about masturbation (and the book "We Need to Talk about Vaginas" by Dr. Allison K Rodgers), and the importance of services for sexual assault survivors that are quickly and quietly being defunded by Trump and his MAGAts.

    Buy Dr. Richmond's book: Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex-Positive Guide for Moving Past Sexual Trauma and Living a Passionate Life here.

  • "Love in the Library"/Deporting Citizens and Arresting Judges
    Apr 26 2025

    RFK's "Nazi-shaped" autism registry, his grift about removing food dyes (and the FDA inspectors who regulate them), Pam Bondi's explicit threat to "come after" judges (and the arrest of one!). These are just some of Trump's most recent attempts at authoritarianism that Jennifer and Courtney discuss. Tune in to hear how it all realtes to unlawful deportations, Japanese internment camps and the 2022 children's book "Love in the Library" written by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and illustrated by Yas Imamura.

    Talking about Trump's abuse of power with your friends, family, and even neighbors, will WEAKEN his abuse of power! Erica Chenoweth, a political scientist, determined that just 3.5% of the population actively participating in nonviolent protests can result it serious political change. If you can't make it to a protest, download the 5 calls app. If you can't do that, help your neighbor. We're in this together, and if you need some inpso, check out this video of people forming a human-chain to protect their neighbor from ICE.

  • The Problem with 'Billionaires sending Millionaires to Space'
    Apr 18 2025

    Courtney and Jennifer sit down with Reconciler singer and guitarist Joseph Lazzari to talk about Katy Perry "taking up MORE space", how punk music has always known the truth, and how their song "Love Song for the End Times" pairs perfectly with her cringey rant about love connection and daisies.
