Renaissance recommends street tacos.Much love! Happy holidays & hope you have a happy end to this rough ride of 2024.

Liberals are coping with Trump's win with racism and cringe, as expected. Almost as expected as Harris's loss...! Genuinely the Democrats have a humiliation kink and are addicted to bag fumbling.Shaming people for not voting for a genocidal maniac meanwhile you're first in line for hell grad school registration because you think the blood of Palestinians is cheap- fascism is here and it's inside every Amerikkkan.Disclaimer: Renaissance had a sinus infection and yet we still bravely recorded this the day after election night. Also, please forgive the sloppy editing the turnaround time on this one was quick!Oh also- We say "Hitler" approximately 3000 times this episode and it was necessary each and every timeEmail us your hot takes: [email protected] Watch the video recording of this episode (and almost all of our previous ones!) on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/kamala-episode-115587095Follow us on our socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheLavenderMenacePod Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thelavenderpod/Substack: https://thelavendermenace.substack.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/TheLavenderPod

Hello listeners! Here is a new episode where we talk about feminism at length… who’s surprised? But before we get into the feminism of it all, we discuss various facets and corners in the world of media piracy and consuming digital content in response to a listener email. We continue to wonder how observations and opinions that lead us to receive so much internet hate are now popular takes to have and peddle out again and again. We also talk about at length the importance of feminism and learning from various branches of feminism. TLDR: We are communists and we are feminists but that does not make us exclusively marxist-feminists. We kinda cover all the bases on women’s issues for this episode. Let us know what you think by emailing or DMing us. For the media this episode, we discuss our memory of and thoughts on Jen Beagin’s novel Big Swiss. Renaissance read it just a couple months before the episode recording and l Sunny read a couple years ago. Has our love for unhinged lesbians struck again? Listen to find out!At the end of the episode Sunny recommends Come And Get It by Kiley Reid and Renaissance recommends the seminal documentary Paris is Burning (1990). Listen to the end of the episode to hear our pitches. Thank you again for listening!

Post-hiatus episode recorded in the summer for our beloved listeners! In which we discuss a listener-submitted hot-take about misogyny within leftist discourse and the failure of people to effectively address patriarchy or take sexism seriously. Then we hard-shifted to a hot-take about making lesbian friends, trying to date women as a woman using dating apps flooded with straight women, and the lesbian dating landscape within the scope of Twitter and the Internet. Of course, for media, we discussed our thoughts on Barbie (2023) and all the discourse that was surrounding it after its immediate release. In the spirit of the shortcomings of the film, Renaissance recommends the John Waters' film Hairspray (1988) and Sunny recommends the literary fiction novel Dykette by Jenny Fran Davis, which is a bit controversial!Thanks for joining us for this episode!
