In this episode I talk about my new ADHD YouTube fixation, CC Suarez and how some of her videos got me thinking about what the line is for what you will tolerate from people you associate with. Is buying from Amazon a deal breaker for you? Is someone going to Starbucks or Target or still drinking Coke something you can't look past? I also talk about Discord's announcement that they will require ag...

In This Episode: I rant at you,...

This week, I spiral (in a fun way) through Cardi B’s Am I the Drama album. Then we pivot (hard) into the realities of surviving on $16 an hour in Florida, the mental toll of hustle culture, and why I’m done letting capitalism tell me what “success” looks like (and you should, too). Somewhere in between, Diane Keaton dies, Ian Watkins gets what’s coming to him, and I get weirdly excited about Sky C...

I’m Laura, your anxious-agoraphobic-social-badass host who got chewed up by corporate America and spat out into the creator world. This episode is your warning label: if you don’t support trans rights, Black women, or actual free speech, you won’t vibe here (but you can still hate-listen, I don’t mind). Expect rants, politics, mental health talk, gaming nonsense, and probably too much about my cur...
