No cops at Pride (Solo ep)

Todays episode is a little more of a mellow pace as we reflect on Mardi Gras season 2024, with the tragic passing of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies at the hands of a cop one week out from the parade. What does this mean for our discussion surrounding Police presence at Pride? And what does it mean to truely create safe spaces for queer people?  Does pride belong to us anymore or has it truely lost its meaning as we reflect on its history. Kath also reads a few passages from the book “Simple Pleasures” by Clare Gogerty for a soothing moment of stillness in all the chaos.  Episode resources:  Find Nick: @yvngweed Find Rio:  @rioobayani Book: “Simple Pleasures” by Clare Gogerty  Find Kath, TikTok: @kathebbss Instagram: @kathebbs
