As workers, as women, as lesbians, this question haunts everything about the decisions we make for our lives. We're recent college graduates and we do not have the answers!!! But we do, as always, have thoughts and hot take responses. Please email us your hot takes for future episodes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com. We love reading your emails! Perhaps unsurprisingly, we have the same favorite song off of the Short 'n Sweet album. In our forthcoming episode, we discuss our Spotify Wrapped stats, and you, our dear listeners will see how our Sabrina listening habits shook out this year...! We're low on media recommendations this time of year, and while we do appreciate all of the media recommendations y'all send our way, the best we can offer this episode is one measly book recommendation from Sunny: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. Renaissance recommends street tacos. Much love! Happy holidays & hope you have a happy end to this rough ride of 2024.

Liberals are coping with Trump's win with racism and cringe, as expected. Almost as expected as Harris's loss...! Genuinely the Democrats have a humiliation kink and are addicted to bag fumbling. Shaming people for not voting for a genocidal maniac meanwhile you're first in line for hell grad school registration because you think the blood of Palestinians is cheap- fascism is here and it's inside every Amerikkkan. Disclaimer: Renaissance had a sinus infection and yet we still bravely recorded this the day after election night. Also, please forgive the sloppy editing the turnaround time on this one was quick! Oh also- We say "Hitler" approximately 3000 times this episode and it was necessary each and every time Email us your hot takes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com [thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com] Watch the video recording of this episode (and almost all of our previous ones!) on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/kamala-episode-115587095 [https://www.patreon.com/posts/kamala-episode-115587095] Follow us on our socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheLavenderMenacePod [https://www.instagram.com/TheLavenderMenacePod] Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thelavenderpod/ [https://letterboxd.com/thelavenderpod/] Substack: https://thelavendermenace.substack.com [https://thelavendermenace.substack.com] Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLavenderPod [https://twitter.com/TheLavenderPod]
