    Episode notes right from the Patreon posting:"The Alchemical Wedding; Part 1: BlackeningIn the second episode of the Brubaker Brothers' The Variance Engine series, 1 Year as a Woman, I go into detail on some of the experiences of the first few weeks/months of my hormone replacement therapy. Some of the stuff is heavy, there is talk about mental health issues and suicidal ideation, drug use, and swears. During the latter portion of the episode I do the best I can to retell the experiences of a lucid dream that I had in a library rife with deeper symbolism that becomes critical in some of the future portions of the story. With the gravity of the story and with respect to the process, I have split this part of the series up into multiple episodes. Hopefully although shorter than the last episode, it is as impactful to the overall story moving forwards. Thanks to all the patrons who have jumped up to this tier to hear my story. I honestly can't express just how important creating this has been to me, and to see that people actually want to hear it makes it even more humbling. Email us your thoughts/prayers: theproblematicast@gmail.com (use the subject "VE")#sand "

    The Variance Engine: 1 Year as a Woman,Since our untimely death and recent rebirth in this age of uncertainty, I decided to destroy the old model of how I was going to distribute one of the side projects of the Brubaker Brothers. We had initially had it as an incentive on our patreon, and possibly improperly charged for it on a separate tier. After some reconsideration and a little bit of time to ponder the idea, we are going to release the backlog of episodes of it here and the additional episodes that are in the works as I type this.  I am going to provide the original episode notes verbatim, as some of them were written in the moment of creation and are probably more relevant than what I would say about them in retrospect. "This is the pilot episode of the Brubaker Brothers' "The Variance Engine", a new podcast series focused around existential philosophy, epistemology, and diversity. The opening series is entitled "1 Year as a Woman", and is based around Jason's experiences before and during his transition from male to female, and the detransition that subsequently followed. It's raw and real, rather taboo (still), and told in the first person. The first episode, "The Elephant in the Room", is the progression of Jason's story from youth, through puberty and young adulthood, and into his early 30's where the process takes a seemingly logical route. This project has been a few years in the making, and finally on Jason's birthday, we can finally launch with an iteration that is suitable for sharing. Email us with your thoughts and prayers: theproblematicast@gmail.com#sand "Drop a like, share it with people who might like it, comment, etc. We are probably still in need of your thoughts/prayers: theproblematicast@gmail.com

Facebook needing to be cancelled, but it worming itself into the socioeconomic structure so fully that it won't be. Cultural appropriation comes into view, while Justice Bot rears its ugly mechanical head. We debate the animal in human versus ideals of the scarlet letter, and getting sued by the most powerful mouse in history (other than the ones that carried the black plague). Samuel Little, the most prolific serial killer known to date, comes up as we continue the over arching conversation about cultural appropriation and sensationalized "evil" people. Justice Bot considers instituting "white slavery" which spawns ideas of the social existence of white people versus the horrid "white politics" that is still very prevalent in today's policy making and system. "Through passion I gain Strength, through Strength I gain Power, through Power I gain Victory.
