"None of this is real"

We Save Us

In this episode the Gimps explore the art of processing heavy adult circumstances while honoring and validating the needs of their past selves. As always, Mela & Kelly dive straight into the heart of things, threading together past, present, and future as they examine how early childhood experiences shape adult reactions, how parental wounds echo across generations, and how breaking those cycles demands conscious, ongoing effort. The conversation is raw and reflective, and celebrates growth and the real labor of healing. Intense yet redemptive, this episode returns to the core truth the Gimps keep proving—we can save ourselves. Content warning: child-abuse and recovery is discussed in this episode.

"None of this is real"

In this debut episode, Mela & Kelly jump straight into the deep end, unraveling the tangled threads of inner-childhood wounding and the uneasy art of surviving late-stage capitalism as "low-support needs" disabled women. The conversation meanders and spirals—sometimes intense, sometimes irreverent—before crystallizing into a daring new order for the matrix to serve up. How else can we live? Quite sure Mela & Kelly will still be off somewhere wheeze-laughing at some obscure absurdity regardless, though a guaranteed basic income with no public humiliation ritual requirement would be dope.
