Description

<p>In a feat of editing, Kyle turned over two and a half hours of meandering meditations on Sylvia Plath, determinism, performative allyship, and whether or not true revolution can happen by playing by the rules of the system (spoiler alert: Nope.) into this episode. Obviously, we had a lot to say about Dickinson's "The Future never spoke," written by Ziwe and Alena Smith and directed by Heather Jack. Mainly: it rules. <br> <br> Omitted topics include: Scheherazade and the Hunger Games, even more drug discussion, a brief history of Japanese female-female queerness, and yes- more of the absolute delirium that ends the episode.</p> <p>We also want to give a shout-out to the other two podcasts discussing the show: "The Slave is Gone" and "Dickinson Forevermore." Give them a listen if you haven't already!&nbsp;</p> <p>You can contact us at [email protected]. One of us (theoretically Ben) will get to you! We promise!</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Future—never spoke—<br> Nor will He—like the Dumb—<br> Reveal by sign—a syllable<br> Of His Profound To Come—<br> <br> But when the News be ripe—<br> Presents it—in the Act—<br> Forestalling Preparation—<br> Escape—or Substitute—<br> <br> Indifference to Him—<br> The Dower—as the Doom—<br> His Office—but to execute<br> Fate’s—Telegram—to Him—<br> </p>
