Hey what's up hello! In the past week, we've seen quite a bit of aphobia which of course included people saying asexuality isn't actually a sexuality.

This week's episode is going to be a little different. It's hard right now to talk about anything that isn't the racial injustice that's so prevalent in America. We don't feel like we can just sit here and talk about something else right now. So we won't. In the spirit of Blackout Tuesday, we are using the time on the podcast this week to amplify the Black voices that we have been listening to, and those we urge you to listen to.
