[Ep.9 Current Events] Yelling, Rants, Meows, and Barks..With Some Nervous Laughter on Top.

<p>Welcome to another episode!</p> <p>This week the theme is Current Events! And boy, what a whirlwind of "current events" it has been these last few weeks. So grab some red wine (you're gonna need it) and come listen as we talk about some unpleasant, but so so so very important things that have been happening recently. (We filmed this much earlier in the day than we usually do, so the animals in the house were overly active. Sorry for the rouge Barks and Meows!)</p> <p>Brittany tries to the best of her ability to talk about the Atlanta Spa shootings, and the recent incline of Anti-Asian hate crimes. She is by no means an expert on the subject, but tries her best, and this is a topic that should have attention brought to it. There will be many links below for resources for you to learn more, how and where you can help, etc. At the end she also touches on the recent kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard that happened in London. Trigger warnings: racism, hate crimes, murder, gun violence, white privilege, cops abusing power, etc.</p> <p>Skylar was going to lighten the mood with some dumb YouTube drama since Brittany's segment was very heavy and dark, but then Skylar found herself down a dark rabbit hole that was a surprise to her. She is going to talk about the recent news revolving around David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad. This segment deals with a lot of heavy issues as well, such as: rape, abuse, idolizing influencers, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>The Article Brittany mentioned:</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-atlanta-shooting-and-the-dehumanizing-of-asian-women</p> <p><strong>AAJA Pronunciation Guide for Asian Victims of Atlanta Shootings:</strong></p> <p>https://aaja.org/2021/03/19/aaja-pronunciation-guide-for-asian-victims-of-atlanta-shootings/</p> <p><strong>Place to Donate to Stop AAPI hate (also has links to specific victims families)</strong></p> <p>https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate</p> <p><strong>CNN Article:&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>htt
