Bedroom Eyes

Juno talks about their development of moral nihilism and political pessimism, and their dissolution with the anarchist idealism that they used to have. They also talk about the desire to focus on small, local community building for the sake of creating resilience and pleasure under capitalism in their lifetime, and the importance of recognizing and deconstructing the insidious hierarchies, domination, and power inequality that arise in leftist and anarchist spaces.   A lot of this episode is filled with Juno's doubts, skepticism, and questions about things that they don't know the answers to.

Juno talks about their new framing of autonomy and agency, based on their skepticism of conscious free will, and how that affects their perspective on behavior change, coercion, and their core purpose for investing in the theory of relationship anarchism. Juno also talks about their need for funds for sustaining this podcast and improving their housing security and general quality of life.

Trigger warning: this episode includes brief descriptions of sexual coercion and violence. Before delving into this episode, please listen to Consent is Not Radical: Part 1. In this episode, Juno continues their political critique of feminist consent rhetoric, but with a focus on the language of sexual violence, coercion, and agency, as well as an analysis of victim mentality and how that disempowers us. They also propose liberatory consciousness-raising and self-transformation as integral to dismantling patriarchal sex.

A solo episode in which Juno analyzes their own fear of fatness. This was inspired by a Dismantling Fatphobia discussion series that they recently attended. The first half of the episode explores Juno's emotional baggage about approaching the issue, how Juno's fatphobia developed from childhood through adulthood, and what it feels like now. The second half deals with conflicts that Juno has with the anti-fatphobia movement using positivity, beauty, and health as rallying points for anti-oppression work. I apologize for the sound quality (some background static) in this episode. Follow on Twitter: @JunoMariah [https://twitter.com/JunoMariah] Links: Is It Unhealthy to Be Overweight?
