On today's episode, Antoinette and Lucas check in with each other two weeks before the election. We talk early voting, the energy in Texas, and what voters need to do to flip the state. We also call attention to two recent election-related interviews: our conversation with Rebecca Bell-Metereau, the Democratic candidate for Texas State Board of Education, District 5, and our talk with Mathew Ruberg, DigiDem for the Wendy Davis campaign, who offers essential info on relational organizing in #TX21. Check them out! The time to get involved with both of these campaigns is now. We also wrap up our conversation on our current OTW Book Club selection, Lies My Teacher Told Me, by James Loewen, and introduce our next choice: Good Citizens: Creating Enlightened Society, by Thich Nhat Hanh. Our hate-read of the week: this Washington Post column, which sent Lucas into a seething frenzy.Ideas for getting out the vote two weeks before the election? Thoughts on the book?

In Austin, as in many communities around the country, we're now required to wear a face mask or clothing covering whenever we leave the house. In this episode, we do a deep-dive into all things mask-related, starting with Antoinette's initial attempts to make masks from home and a Lucasian mini-rant about mask-wearing as a patriotic act.Then we jump into the nitty-gritty, highlighting a must-see video making the rounds that delves into why masks are important and what they do. Antoinette also uses her fifteen years of sewing experience to offer advice for those making masks at home for themselves or others. How else can you take action?1. Stay informed. That Science Sam video is a great place to start.2. If you still have N-95s or surgical masks at home, donate them to medical professionals. They need them!3. Sew a mask yourself, or support a small business that is selling homemade masks. Can't sew a mask yourself or afford to buy one? The CDC now has a face-covering how-to for both sew and no-sew masks.This episode was recorded on Monday, April 20th, 2020.
In this episode, Antoinette and Lucas riff on how we keep time in these uncertain times, before launching into an exploration of mutual aid networks. These are grassroots groups, operating online, that match people looking for support (elderly folks in need of grocery delivery, for example) with volunteers ready to lend a hand. A recent NYT story on mutual aid networks can be found here. Come for the heartwarming story of mutual aid, stay for a Lucasian mini-rant on GOP attempts to replace government with charity, and leave with plenty of action to take:1. Find your local mutual aid network at Mutual Aid Hub. No mutual aid networks in your area? Start one yourself. 2. For our friends in TX21, check out Democratic candidate Wendy Davis' mutual aid network for folks in the district, on her website.This episode was recorded on Thursday, April 16, 2020.
Some wild rumors erupted this week claiming George Lucas still owns the rights for STAR WARS characters he created and Disney is sending him checks to use them. We wade through the rumors and present a case that we hope determines whether or not these reports are valid. We got our first look at the second and final season of STAR WARS RESISTANCE in a new trailer that dropped this week. We discuss some of the highlights and info revealed. And is a well-known actor from ABC’s THE GOLDBERGS appearing in THE RISE OF SKYWALKER? The answer is YES and we will tell you who it is! We look forward to STAR WARS announcements potentially coming next weekend at D23, including confirmation of a KENOBI series on Disney+ starring Ewan McGregor. Plus, more on the definition of Lucasian, a Rancho Obi-Wan update, and Jimmy Mac’s Artoo vs BB-8 Facebook debate.
Strap on your space rollerblades and get ready to wait in line at the DMV as Craft Disservices returns to explore a cult camp hit!Jacob Gulliver of Hot Chocolate Media is back on the show and he's brought the overlooked "Jupiter Ascending" with him! Jupiter Jones is a mild-mannered toilet cleaner with a dog fetish, but when the tater-tot of her dreams skates in to protect her from Soylent Blue-swilling aliens, she embarks on a galaxy-spanning adventure and discovers that she owns the Earth! Technically, all telescopes belong to her!We both pick apart and praise this imaginative romp from the minds of the Wachowskis and on our journey we talk Wizard of Oz parallels, wonder why space rollerblades never became the new Bullet Time, explore the Wachowskis' Lucasian naming aesthetic, ask "Whither YA?", decry toxic fandom, and declare Channing Tatum the pasta salad of modern cinema!Jupiter Ascending makes Cloud Atlas look like My Dinner With Andre!
