Join Jennifer and Courtney as they amplify the voices of banned book authors and their characters in between mom-ing and trying to survive the capitalist grind of our new Authoritarian America.

The Antagonists of Capitol Hill Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

TW: Courtney inadvertently creates uncomfortable imagery of Elon Musk bribing one of his flight attendants with a horse while exposing himself. Courtney and Jennifer make comparisons between Trump and his picks to the antagonistic sexual predators in books, including banned "The Nowhere Girls" by Amy Reed and "The Luis Ortega Survival Club" by Sonora Reyes. Action Items: Find Your Senator and tell them NOT TO CONFIRM:

The alleged rapist and anti-woman in combat PETE HEGSETH for Defense Secretary
The alleged child molestation-enabler WWE executive Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education
The alleged horse-bribing genital flasher Elon Musk for the unchecked "DOGE" position
- "Dear ___, as a constituent, I am urging you NOT to confirm these nomincations as they send a message that women are not valued and that not only is sexual misconduct tolerated but it is rewarded.
Text JUDGES to 63033 to email your senators about confirming judges NOW.

We're Back and Ready to Break Dicks Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

Jennifer and Courtney are back after taking some time off to process Trump securing his place as the greatest cult leader in history, winning over devoted fans who continue to vote against their own interests. This episode covers A LOT...but not a book (that's next). Courtney and Jennifer discuss a handful of Trump's wild cabinet picks including but not limited to:

The potential fallout of nominating RFK as the secretary of Health and Human Services and what it would mean to ban pesticides (spoiler alert: there would be no food to eat).
The inexperienced, univerally hated, and accused sex-trafficker, Matt Gaetz, being chosen for America's next Attorney General.
And of course Elon Musck with his special cartoon dog as the mascot for government efficency. (Note: This is not satire.)

Action Items: Find Your Senator and tell them NOT TO CONFIRM:

The accused Matt Gaetz for Attorney General
Russian-connected Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence
Chris Wright, current CEO of an OIL company to the Secreatary of Energy
Elon Musk's unchecked "DOGE" position
- All of these appointments scream conflicts of interest and give the ultra rich and already powerful unprecedented power to shape regulations, contracts and budgets to advance their own personal and business goals.

DO: Pass the Press Act
DO: Confirm Biden’s Judicial Appointments
- "Dear ___, as a constituent, I am urging your to...(copy/paste above bullet points or write your own!) Thank you."

OBGYN does not mean P0rn Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

Courtney tells Jennifer the amazing story of Henrietta Lacks and her family. The book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot was challenged in Tennessee when a mom confused gynecology with pornography. Now, the books has been removed from required reading lists, when Henrietta's story should be amplified and used as an important lesson in bodily autonomy, Black history, systemic racisim, and so much more. Read Henrietta's grandson's book "The Untold Story of Henrietta Lacks" by Ron Lacks to learn more about this phenomenal woman and her family.

Ban This Book! By Alan Gratz Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

Jennifer and Courtney discuss the irony in a Florida school district banning a book called "Ban this Book" by Alan Gratz. Other notable topics include but are not limited to: JD Vance's obsession with pronatalism, why Minecraft is more relevant than the Tuttle Twins, and the horrors of selling slime kits at Scholastic Book Fairs.

"Push" by Sapphire Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of SA. With 54% of American adults having a reading level below the 6th grade, should we be concerned that homeschooling numbers are on the rise? Join Courtney and Jennifer as they discuss the novel, "Push" by Sapphire, which tells the story of 16-year-old illiterate Claireece "Precious" Jones, whose battle with poverty, abuse, and systemic neglect reveals the nefarious intent of right-wing extremist politicians to defund the public education system, make reproductive care illegal, and keep poverty a reality. After all, education = empowerment and we wouldn't want that, would we? Also, Mariah Carey = GOAT and John McEntee, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, has a small penis...probably. This episode is dedicated to Amber Thurman and the dozens of lives that could have been spared if not for the dangerous and extreme abortion bans.

JR Episode: "Sam is My Sister" by Ashley Rhodes-Courter Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

JR Episodes are back! This week Courtney and Jennifer cover the adorable tear-jerker "Sam is My Sister" by Ashley Rhodes-Courter. Safe for little ears, Courtney reads the book and then joins Jennifer in a discussion on the outrageous "Abducter Bill" AKA SB 254 that not only makes gender-affirming care illegal, but allows the so-called "free" state Florida to intervene in custody and healthcare decisions, even if those decisions were legally and consensually made in another state. Want to see the video recording of this episode? Become a MILF Ally! Sources: US judge strikes down Florida ban on gender-affirming healthcare | Reuters Florida 'abduction' bill?

Courtney admits her attraction to women in mid-century masculine fashion
Jennifer calls out Moms for Liberty for taking books out of context YET AGAIN when they mistake a novelty naked lady cigarette lighter for a robotic sex toy...(We're pretty sure sex toys were not robotic in the 1950s...)
