What even is cyberpunk? THIS WEEK: Writer Aysha U. Farah joins to talk a little about their experience with gender, as well as to discuss a certain high-profile cyberpunk video game currently making the promotional rounds in the game-o-sphere. We explore what the genre means to us, why we think so many people get it wrong, and offer up some atypical examples of it being done right. ALSO: Some minor discussion of Homestuck and Hiveswap Friendsim, because what's a cyberpunk discussion without a little self-flagellation?

What does gender even do, anyway? THIS WEEK: Sarah lectures a room full of undergrads on her theory that the existence of transgender people undermines the foundations of so-called western civilization. We also discuss trans healthcare, public perception, the importance of internalizing genderqueer politics, and little ways you can help the trans/enby folks in your life.

Back on meds, let's get to some questions! THIS WEEK: We dig through our backlog of anonymous curiouscat asks, which flit mostly between themes of finding community and feeling unsure how to be nonbinary in a deeply binary world. Wow, same! Can Sarah single-handedly solve these common trans problems in just thirty minutes? Guess you'll have to listen and find out!

Now wait just a second, this isn't a Monday! THIS WEEK: Oops, we had technical difficulties. This is a short one to discuss the mental challenges of falling off HRT, untreated ADHD, and the general depression that comes with moving.

The Swedish Empire expands! THIS WEEK: Youtuber Mia Mulder joins us to discuss the politics, weather, and media in Sweden, including the national pride that is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, as well as an accounting of the one and only comedy the country has ever produced.

Hello, I'm tired and hoarse. THIS WEEK:Sarah talks about moving to a new place in THE CITY, feeling dysphoric about facial hair, the lethargy of being low on medications, and also discusses the pros and cons of snapchat's genderswap selfie filter. The takes in this one are saucy.

The commie talk is coming from inside the house! THIS WEEK: Molly.Noise is stateside and holding my hand, because we're gay! We talk about the challenges of an international long distance relationship, the importance of judgment-free conversation in intimate moments, as well as what being a nonbinary trans person means to Sarah. This, of course, leads us to talking about socialist philosophy, anarchy, and the arbitrary nature of societal norms. We couldn't be more on brand if we tried, could we?

Welcome back to my hovel. Do you like what I've done with the place? THIS WEEK: Sarah answers long, LONG overdue reader questions, touching on relationships troubled by dysphoria, whether to come out as trans when you have an STI, and fantasies of bodily rearrangement.

Woah, wait, where's the other girl? THIS WEEK: It's just Sarah! Like old times, eh? Discussing body developments after seven months on hormone replacement therapy, the stresses of being a transgender youtuber, and how to build yourself back up after years of basing your layers on other people's expectations.

The dust has settled on the DK64 Nightmare Stream that raised over three hundred thousand dollars for transgender support charity Mermaids. Now, it is time to reflect. THIS WEEK: Sarah, May, and Elliot recount their experiences interacting with the likes of Cody Johnston, Chelsea Manning, and Chuck Tingle on the stream. ALSO: Twenty-one special guests share their feelings about the stream, either as viewers or participants (or, in one case, the instigator). You can find the timecode of their appearances below, as well as their twitter handles where provided.

(also, in the intro, Sarah said Jan 2018 when she meant 2019. she wholeheartedly apologizes for being human)
