Hello my chickens.

All right, this has been a very intense week for many of us. It's not often that on the podcast I talk about kind of current events, although obviously I did quite a bit for the

pandemic and the sort of movement around racial justice in this country

earlier the summer so maybe that's not true anymore. In 2020 I do talk about current events. So last

Friday Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court justice passed away and I think a lot of

women have truly no idea how much they owe to her regardless of their politics.

So don't worry, this episode is not going to be all about RBG and I do not think that RBG is a feminist saint, right?

There are certainly things to critique in her jurisprudence, especially around police accountability.

And she did not seem to understand the significance of some of the work on racial justice

that's been happening socially and politically the last few years, like Colin Kepernix protests so this is not about

reifying her as the perfect feminist by any means but since this is a

podcast about how we as women create change in ourselves and in the world or you know people

who are socialized as women or identify as women when I use women on this podcast as

you all know if you've been listening for a long time I'm talking about

anyone who identifies in any of those ways and I think that you know because of the

way we are taught history in this country depending a lot on what kind of education you have access to, which may be partly

socioeconomic, but then also sometimes just has to do with like what state you live in, right?

Like Texas purchases a lot of school books and so it has a disproportionate influence.
