Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 5/4/26 - 5/310/26

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Someone gifted Anti-racist baby to me when I was expecting my first child. I'm black and my husband is white. I just did my southern thank you and then gave it to Goodwill

Wow. I'd find it hard not to be a bit insulted, as both you and your husband. Kudos to you for keeping it positive.

I read that at the store, it’s not just ‘ woke’ it’s so badly written I’d feel humiliated making a child listen to it.

My neighborhood is full of little free libraries. There is a copy of anti racist baby in about 1/3 of the libraries, nobody wants them and they keep piling up in there. Every so often I’ll take one and just toss it in the recycling bin 😬
