PODCAST – Moments of Euphoria, with Sapling of Tapling Zines

This week, our rather more punctual podcast contains intrepid hosts Flint and Ashleigh going over:

In the US, Democrats backsliding and joining in with GOP anti-trans rhetoric, in some cases bankrolled by a man whose name sounds like Freelom Jusk.
Further updates from the NWJCC in sunny Wales. You heard me.
The London Assembly votes in favour of making BASH BACK a proscribed organisation. We go over the whys and wherefores and what this practically means at this stage. (spoiler alert, not actually all that much but it’s still not a good thing.)
Loser’s Corner looks at not a person but a document. Yes, it’s our regular mention of the EHRC’s Code of Practice and which other organisations are calling it bull***t this week.
Flint talks to Sapling of Tapling Zines, behind the Moments of Euphoria: An art book of trans joy & love by Tapling Zines — Kickstarter project, which you should go and support really quickly. Moments of Euphoria cover art by Artiodaktyl.

Another thing you should support really quickly, a fun, queer TTRPG this time: City of Espers – A Psychic-Powered Urban Action TTRPG – BackerKit
