Texas Steampunk Connection

recorded February 8, 2022 We report on the ice storm that just past. Not so bad, but utilities fail anyway. We get serious into the politics and actors saying stupid things, and move into problematic fantasy writing and racist tropes. This moves into traditional fairy tales and their social messages, of which Bluestocking is an expert. We get to drinks, and Gilded Age throws us right back to politics of the day. We'll try to get back to fun stuff next show.
