Summary
The transmissions have arrived, and the girlies have their predictions: joy as resistance, psychosis over dissociation, and delusional optimism in the face of collapse. They also respond to some of your predictions (pigtails, the death of espresso martinis, lemonade stands) and stress the importance of embracing the childlike joy of summer while we still can.
This is a teaser for a Patreon-exclusive episode. To listen to the full episode and access over 50 bonus episodes, mediasodes, and monthly zoom hangs visit patreon.com/binchtopia and become a patron today.
