cw: nazis, extreme poverty, police brutality, violence against black people, death mention, child abuse, domestic abuse, reference to teeth pulling, description of blood, negative descriptions of sex work, slavery used as metaphor, sexual assault mention, lynching mention, holocaust mention, gas chamber mention, concentration camps
Hah, this one’s upsetting. Nineteenth Century Poverty still applies today, Mansions in Heaven, the lives that will have a tomorrow, society and shame, Fantine dreams a dream, Santa Claus pulls some teeth, white feminism co-opting black movements and the politics of appropriating the language of other peoples’ struggle for your own.

cw: extensive conversation about incarceration and involuntary institutionalisation, mental health (talk about ‘madness’/’insanity’), mistreatment of sex workers, nature/nurture in gender roles, male violence, class-based violence, sexual abuse, exploitation of prisoners, police brutality, using religion as an excuse to act terribly.
The Library is open!! Let me count the ways women can be sad. We contextualise Fantine’s terrible, no good time with women wanting some human rights, female hysteria being the hot topic of the day, hormones and socialisation, the foundation of criminal physiognomy and pre-written forms.
Nemo sat far away from the mic today and yet still managed to peak while laughing so the audio quality is Choice.

cw: racism, domestic abuse
Happy Candlenights! Nemo had to edit this section out because it was just a bit too rambly and out of place, but thought it made a plenty enjoyable mini.

Cw: misogyny, fatphobia, mentions of slavery and anti-blackness,
“I’m just going to read this whole thing out because it makes me, a horse person, very happy.” This week Nemo, Grace and Stevie talk the eh Les Mis concert, Jean Valjean and Champmatheiu having an affair, women only coming in pairs and Grace goes absolutely feral over some horses. Oh, and there’s one of the most important moments in the book… but we talk more about ponyplay than that.

Cw: death mention, reference to incest,
“The thing that’s tripping me up is that he’s naked.” This week we talk about absolute bastard boy Jean Valjesus’s dream diary, how everyone is canonically naked in Les Mis, a cart that looks like (I think) a termite, and some road rage.
