Welcome back to Lady Blerds Sings the Blues with ya girls Sometimes V and Kylie Toosmart! We are two fabulous fat femme queer Queens giving our fresh takes on the world around us. This week's episode we break away from our traditional layout and just have a good ole gab fest! Fanime 2021 was lit! Lady Blerds had a virtual panel called "Representation Matters" where we discussed what it's like being a blerd or poc watching Anime and not seeing ourselves in a positive light, but also about the improvements that have happened over time and how we can maintain this positive trajectory. Whew, what a sentence! Tune in to hear all about how we cope with the struggles of adulthood in a capitalist heteronormative society whilst being Black and a woman. Of course we couldn't get away with not having some sort of Blerd update so if you want to hear us laugh and cry about some weeb ish we got you covered. Last but never least we discuss some of the topics that literally have us singing the blues, among those being the case of Ryan Le-Nguyen, an Asian man in Michigan whose bail was set at a lowly $10,000 after he shot 6 year old Coby Daniel for retrieving his bike from his yard after Ryan chased him with a sledgehammer for playing in the area. The community rallied and his bail was adjusted to 100k. We discuss some tragedies that hit closer to home, SJPD's muder of Demetrius Stanley, and what we can do to help. Thank you for listening to Lady Blerds Sing the Blues, we appreciate each and ever one of you! You can find us on Spotify, Apple pods, & our original home Soundcloud.
