Hello and welcome to another episode of I-Way with Jimmy DeGemile, a podcast against shame.

I hope you're well. I'm fucking knackered. It's been the midterms in the United States,

where I'm currently living, and that has been a real head fuck and such a mixed bag of results.

I'm immensely proud of what people were able to achieve in many places for reproductive rights.

I'm also very sad for the states in which we did not manage to elect in progressive leaders,

and so they are stuck with the same stupid fucking bastard who have taken away their human rights.

It's really tricky, and I understand why in such an enormous country you have to have state-by-state

laws. It just means that when some people are freed, everyone is not freed, all at the same time.

Some people are still living under unimaginable oppression just because of their post-code,

and it just doesn't make any fucking sense. But yeah, I don't think I'm fully ready to get into it,

and I think it would take about 17 hours. So we're going to move on. Another subject that got me

all riled up if you follow me online is the attempted revival of the fashion industry of

heroin chic. Do you remember that? In the 90s, the media non-ironically coined a term,

telling people it in order to look beautiful yet to look like you were dying of a deadly and sad

drug addiction, and everyone was starving themselves, and some people actually were taking drugs

in order to emulate that appearance, and because drugs can suppress your appetite, and people are

putting dark eyeshand out under their eyes to make them look more like they're doing heroin,

and was hunching over and starving themselves. What a fucking time. And you know what they thought?

In 2022, women's bodies in particular are not under enough attack. We must get them to also starve

themselves. It doesn't matter we've taken away their reproductive rights, and we're murdering women

in a right. Let's also encourage the women to be further distracted, further demotivated,

and disenfranchised by starving them, by making them starve themselves. They're selling all kinds
