  • Summary

  • CW: This episode talks a lot about bodies, diet culture and medical discrimination. This episode was a long time coming, but I was so glad to finally be able to bring it to you. I talk to the awesome Boots, who uses they/them pronouns. In this episode we talk about healthism, "What can a body do?", and how images of non-normative bodies can be liberating or threatening. I also get to talk octopuses and 'nice' Buddhism, which are two of my favorite topics to ramble on. We discuss Giles Deleuze, Judith Butler, Lama Rod Owens, Sunaura Taylor and Sonya Renee Taylor.

    Examined Life (2008) a doc film by Astra Taylor, featuring a conversation between artist & disability activist Sunaura Taylor, and philosopher & gender theorist Judith Butler.
