Ep. 70: That's Not What We Asked For

On this episode of #QueerWOC Money and Nikeeta weather the heat of the summer to talk mental health reparations for QUILTBANG and the #AmazonStrike. Money lists 5 ways the APA can REALLY apologize for having queerness in the DSM. Nikeeta gives us the labor organizing history of the #PrimeBoycott. We read a curve from a community contributor and Nikeeta has a parking lot curve of her own.
