Jackie and Jill are Back(y) and Still… talking about stuff! After a relaxing and productive half year hiatus Fetch a Pail is back with new episodes, hopefully a few of you never got around to unsubscribing and are very excited to see us?
We recorded this episode 2 days before the Supreme Court (of the US) officially overturned Roe v Wade leaving it up to the states to decide whether or not safe abortions will be legal and available - spoiler alert a bunch of states immediately enacted restrictions, criminal penalties and outright bans. Our hearts break for every person with a uterus in these states who are no longer federally protected and we are grateful to live in Washington and California, both of which have our backs (at least for now). Everything feels heavy today, and though we’ve joked a lot about the dystopian hellscape we are living in over the last few years it seems like every day that passes it is less of a dramatization and more of a literal fact about our reality.
We’re not sure if it’s good or correct to post a frivolous episode of a silly time podcast today, but we started this podcasts in the depths of lockdown, Trump’s America and early waves of the deadlier stages of the pandemic and we continue to believe people deserve nice things and joy especially in times like these so we hope you agree and enjoy the escape. With love and solidarity <3 Jill and Jackie
