Tabitha Britt: Do You Endo?
Monday Apr 08, 2024
Monday Apr 08, 2024
Guest: Tabitha Britt (Journalist, Creator of DoYouEndo.com)
Endometriosis affects 10 percent of all AFAB persons (and some men). It is a painful and often debilitating disease. Tabitha Britt knew she had endometriosis for 14 years and still struggled to get doctors to believe and treat her. This is unfortunately the same experience millions of people have. So Tabitha started DoYouEndo.com to allow folks to connect, find information, and community.
She joins Auntie Vice to talk about the pitfalls of the medical system when it comes to treating AFAB folks, the stigma around endometriosis, the misinformation out there, and the social media bans and blocks on any medical information helpful for all things associated with women and periods (oof!).

Mama Vi: Preserving Our Stories
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Guest: Mama Vi/Viola Johnson (leatherwoman, founder of Carter-Johnson Library, Founding member Onyx Pearls)
Viola Johnson, author, activist, leatherwoman, joins Auntie Vice to chat about leather history, the importance of our history and stories, and the founding of the Johnson-Carter library. Mama Vi came out as a lesbian in the 1970s, when it was still illegal to be openly gay. She discovered leather and kink in college and married her college sweetheart.
Mama Vi holds multiple international leather titles and awards. She wrote To Love, To Obey, and to Serve, the first published novel of a consensual slave in a power exchange relationship. She began transporting magazines and event flyers from Los Angeles to Kansas in the 1980s during the first wave of AIDS. These materials would become the beginnings of the Carter-Johnson Library. After realizing she had won a queer book on eBay instead of a man who was looking to burn the book, she decided to start a formal library to save kinky, queer stories. The library recently expanded significantly after receiving the physical collection of the Center for Sex and Culture which lost its physical space in San Francisco, CA.

Ragen Chastain: Debunking Bad Medicine
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Guest: Ragen Chastain (blogger, author, podcaster)
Ragan Chastian began debunking weight loss "science" in 2009. She originally just wanted to find the most effective diet for weight loss. What she found was over a centruy of bad research. It was so bad, she did her search a second time to verify she hadn't missed anything.
What she discovered is that most "weight loss" research limits its time period to less than two years. When participants began to regain weight, research simply stops and reports what happened in the first year. She discusses how current astroturf organizations (fake grass roots groups) continue to promote bunk science to further their profits.
We also chat about how the weight lost industry has co-opted the language of body liberationists to promote weight stigma and continue to get folks to risk their lives to be thin.
