Summary
Today’s political landscape is an absolute dumpster fire, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn and laugh through the mess. In this TransLash Media production, award-winning journalist Imara Jones brings you the political show that we need right now. With political attacks on trans communities and ever-creeping authoritarianism at an all-time high, staying informed and engaged are key. Imara’s razor sharp wit and critical analysis takes the edge off and reminds us that there’s always hope.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, trans-lash fam. It's me, Amara. Now, I don't know about y'all, but to me, our political landscape feels like a dumpster fire. |
| 0:10.3 | I mean, it's really a mess. And I'm talking Octavia Butler, potential dystopian-type mess. You know, the mess of all messes. |
| 0:19.4 | But we have to stay engaged, otherwise the worst. Whatever you |
| 0:24.1 | imagine is likely to happen. That's why I'm launching a premium new podcast tomorrow called The Mess, |
| 0:31.6 | Amara's Guide to Our Political Health Scheme. In this new show, I'll be sharing top political |
| 0:36.9 | stories from a trans lens, bringing critical attention and analysis that we're just not getting from mainstream sources. But y'all, it's going to be fun. I promise. Because there are so many absurd LOL moments in the middle of all of the scary ones. And that's how we're going to get through this by laughing and processing together, |
| 0:59.1 | ultimately giving us hope and giving the unworthy ones a chop. |
| 1:03.6 | Now, the mess is going to be subscription-based. |
| 1:06.6 | We're making it for our most dedicated listeners, |
| 1:09.2 | which means that you're just going to have to cough up some coins for access. |
| 1:12.8 | But if you can afford one cup of coffee, I mean just one, each month, then you've got what it takes for the mess. |
| 1:20.1 | No, really, it's only $4.99 a month. |
| 1:23.8 | Even less if you subscribe to the whole year. |
| 1:26.7 | Plus, you'll get the translash podcasts ad free and any other bonus content that we release. |
| 1:33.5 | Now, the mess will be available exclusively on Apple Podcast. |
| 1:38.4 | You can subscribe by getting a trans slash fan membership in the Apple Podcast app. |
| 1:44.2 | Just go to the top, the very top, and click subscribe. |

| 1:51.3 | So do it now, because the mess is going to be your medicine for 2024. |
| 1:57.5 | I'll see you there |
