While Lauren is on vacation, friend and former guest j’naii is here to spill hot tea all over their soapbox. Topics include:

* Feeling like a cog in the capitalist machine and having to take medical leave from work due to mental health

* What it’s like to be in a crisis when over half of your support system is dead and gone

* Lesbian bars and our ideas of flirting (including our first on-air game of Truth or Dare!)

* Medical negligence, systemic failure, and how we take care of each other

* Fighting bald dudes on the street

Enjoy!
