WIBU: Black Voices Matter

Welcome to 2021, I Present: ✨Randomness✨

Ayooo, I hope the holiday seasons treat yall well and that anyone hopping back into school or work or their usually life after some time off has a nice return back. A lot is in the air this year. We're going to figure this all out as we go. To ease some stress, here is a true, light-hearted episode ft. my best friend... who may or may not have known I was recording. I feel like she probably knew because of how my energy changes. So this is how we're starting the year. With some COVID-adapted activity time with Heather. 

If you have any ideas, requests, suggestions, or just want to talk it up, please feel free to shoot over messages and suggestions through the Insta (@g00npod). Let's see how 2021 unfolds.

End of the Year, Goblin, Wholesome Time

Ayo, it's B. You know, I don't think setting up deadlines and posting schedules works for me. Oh well. In this one I share my experience with Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and the Great God) as my first Kdrama, and it leads to my favorite aspects of other shows I like. The themes tie in a message for the end of 2020. Got a little more into it than I intended, but hopefully stayed out of the ranty side and in the realm of wholesome :)

If you have any ideas, requests, suggestions, or just want to talk it up, please feel free to shoot over messages and suggestions through the Insta (@g00npod). I believe in you and your abilities to persist through the challenges from 2020 and embrace what 2021 has to offer. 

WIBU: Traditionally Restrictive for WHAT?

Ayo, it's B back for another shorter and ranty episode (Why Is B Upset). This episode, a recurring rant touching on things that upset me in relation to my culture, and some other commentary about society. We'll try to get the next one to be more light-hearted so this series isn't just me being angsty all the time. Maybe we'll pull a friend on. If you're still around or go back to listen to previous episodes, I appreciate you immensely.

I know the holiday season can be difficult for some, literally and metaphorically a cold time of the year. Keep going. You've got this. I believe in you and your abilities.

Hiatus 1: The Return

Ayo, it's B, after a long while of disappearing from this podcast scene. We love when the cumulative stressors from life, school, politics, and social matters drags us down into a drag. Not really. For legal reasons, that was a joke. However, we're going to hop back into this, weekly or biweekly, depending on how much I have going on. If you're still around, thank you. I promise to be better with this project, because this is something I genuinely want to carry on with.

Please Vote | Get Trump Out | This 2020 Election Matters

Link in the Instagram (@g00npod) bio goes to the website that has a 2020 Election page with Vote.org and Ballotpedia resources linked. This upcoming election matters. To the queer community. To immigrants. To people of color. To feminist issues. To education. To the environment. For the future.

I didn't say anything at the end of this one BUT: Please drink water. Please try to eat if you have not yet. Please take a moment to stretch. Please take any meds and vitamins you need to. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and this note is for anyone who needs it. I know I didn't speak on it in episodes, but please be kind to yourselves. Find your reason to stick around, no matter how small it might seem, if it works, that's all that matters. It can be picking up the mess in your room, petting all the animals you can, graduating, proving someone wrong, waiting for your next laugh. I hope the world and life treat you kindly, because you deserve to see how your life plays out. If you're considering or planning, please don't.

If anyone wishes to contact us, provide feedback, and inform us of anything that we should look back over or approach differently, by all means, message us through our Instagram (@g00npod). Any suggestions and requests for topics to talk about or include in the podcast are welcome as well.
