Pomo homo nature nut. Makin’ art and fighting for what’s right. Oh yeah, and an Associate Professor of Communication Studies focusing on Rhetoric and Performance Studies. Surviving (maybe thriving?) in Academia as an artist.

📣 New Podcast! "2025-05-21 - Twisters and Twisting Attention" on @Spreaker #agender #distraction #fema #hurricanes #illinois #lgbt #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtq #narrativewarfare #nws #pride #pritzker #queer #queerradio #scotus #stratton #tariffs #tornadoes
2025-05-21 - Twisters and Twisting Attention
Jonny and Heather lead off with recognition of the Agender Day of Visibility (Monday, May 19). They then turn to issues of local concern in Southern Illinois, including recent deadly tornadoes, current summer Pride plans, Governor Pritzker's visit, and Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton's endorsement by 50 Illinois LGBTQ leaders in her bid for the US Senate. In the back half of the show they discuss the Trump administration's attempts to distract public attention with outrage over "86 49" alleged threats. Instead of giving that drama queen response much attention, they focus on what the Trump administraion probably doesn't want us talking about this week--there is SO much!!!!

“Well, the other guys should have offered a better alternative,” increasingly sounds like the self-serving BS excuse it always was.

“Chick peas are nasty and so woke. So you know, I HAD to choose the the rotten, maggot-filled, undercooked steak. WHY DID YOU VEGANS GIVE ME THIS DEADLY DIARRHEA????”

FND Hope ends gender based and LGBTQ+ online support groups. Won’t answer questions about why. Hear someone affected by this change explain the consequences.

Podcast of today’s show. A reminder that neurology and biology both demonstrate transgender and nonbinary existence are observable, proven phenomena—NOT mental illness, NOT made up by “gender ideology.”

Heck of a background caption. I mean, accurate…
White House press secretary’s head blocks the “White House, Washington DC” seal so it says “White Washing.”
