The Feminist Buzzkills are back with another episode of rage! This week in Abobolandia: Colorado, Texas, and Tennessee are in a pissing contest to see who can give the bigger F*CK YOU to uteruses. And TBH, Tennessee may or may not be taking home the dipshit award for that one. As always, we’re here to unpack and pop off about ALL the latest anti-abortion BS spewing out from the invasive misogynistic species obsessed with getting all up in your junk. Oh and subtle flex/side-note, our beloved Lizz who co-created The Daily Show will now be returning after nearly twenty years, but this time as a guest (with her favorite Galentine, Sarah Silverman, hosting). Make sure to catch Lizz in action February 13th at 11 PM ET on Comedy Central!

Joining us in wading through the muck this week is… *drumroll please* Rev. Dr. Elise Saulsberry, director of programming at the Memphis-based Reproductive Justice organization, SisterReach. She’s here to deliver first hand knowledge about how the most recent Tennessee BULLSHIT is harming folks, the amazing resources and events their org offers, and how to talk about abortion and Reproductive Justice from a faith-based perspective.

PLUS, the iconic comedian, author, podcaster and all-around polymath JEAN GRAE is here to gab about ALL the things she’s working on like her work-in-progress memoir, embracing all of the bullshit, how men are the root of all evil, and share exactly the kinds of affirmations that spark joy for a Feminist Buzzkill. What does that mean? Listen and find out!

Times are heavy, but we got you.
