Available FREE on: Project iRadio • iTunes • Stitcher • Android • Tune-In
and now available on Google Play Music
Appropriations vs MISappropriation… stereotypes vs compliments… mimicry vs mockery… when is borrowing from a culture valid? When is it rude, inappropriate, or offensive? When did we decide everything is offensive? When did the melting pot stop melting? And when will we stop this goose and gander different rules for different people bullshit? (Oh, and #bod39 #halloweencostume… I wanna hear them!)

Available FREE on: Project iRadio • iTunes • Stitcher • Android • Tune-In
Knee pads, elbow pads, brain pads… there’s no adventure left in childhood. No stitches. No scars. No proof of survival. No stories to tell… We’ve bubblewrapped an entire generation, mentally and physically, accepted trigger words, created safe places, and Nerfed the World*
This week, I talk about bleeding on the page vs exorcising demons for public consumption, the disappearance of adventures and scars from childhood, and how much blood is really necessary for a bandaid. Join me, and find out WTF all those hashtags are for…
