  • E52 Artists to the Front.
    May 10 2022

    In this episode, Dani tells us why we need Artists, the devaluing of Art and the Artist in US society, and how to create societies where we can all be Artists.

    They recommend reading "Aphro-ism: Essays on Pop Culture, Feminism, and Black Veganism by Two Sisters" by Aph Ko and Syl Ko for some more on the hierarchy of racial capitalism. They also recommend listen to Christopher Sebastian's talk on similar topics.

    Dani briefly mentioned episode 44 of Understand Kindness, "Now Let Me Rant At You About English for a Bit." To listen to them rant about how English separates Human Animals from Nature.

    And lastly, Dani recommends supporting the Winnemucca Indian Colony in Nevada. If you can make it out to defend the Colony on the 10th-12th of May 2022, reach out to them via email to make arrangements. You can learn more about the Colony via the It's Going Down episode "This is America: #158" and by following their instagram account, @neweneensokopa, where you'll find additional ways to support them.

  • E50 We Change Society.
    Apr 14 2022

    In this episode, Dani tells us how we can and must change our (US) society.

    They recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's books, "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" and "Not 'A Nation of Immigrants': Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion" for a comprehensive history of the united states and its founding rooted in the settler-colonialist mindset. They'd also recommend watching HBO's Exterminate all the Brutes for a similar history lesson that does not sugarcoat genocide and is very graphic (so sit this one out if you're not up for that).

    Dani also recommend checking out the Tiny House Warrior's new comic titled, "The Fight Against the Transmountain Pipeline" for some background and history of TMX, its Indigenous-led resistance, and the oppression the Warriors face every Day. You can donate the the THW's legal defense fund on their website as well!
