  • The Fox, The Fool, and the Hiding of Women’s Arses

    The Fox, The Fool, and the Hiding of Women’s Arses
    Feb 5 2026
    What started off as a tangled tale of foxes, women and slut shaming, ends in an ode to closeted bisexual men and the similarities of the Middle Ages sexual delusions and modern day incels. Bliss connects this to the issues of AI being used to remove (and add) clothing without other's consent, the Catholic Church's financial reasons for celibacy, and the encouraged confusion between sensual desire and control.

  • Getting Fired, the Lobotomobile, and Lucia Joyce

    Getting Fired, the Lobotomobile, and Lucia Joyce
    Dec 1 2025

    In this episode Bliss goes back in time to when she got fired from her office job in England and spent her days eating Honey Cheerio’s, watching Storage Wars, and finding out all she could about worms and lobotomies.

    Here she followed the worm hole down into the history of lobotomobiles, mental asylums, Rosemary Kennedy, Lucia Joyce, and the eagerness shown to silence and hide women who don’t or can’t obey the societal expectations held against them.

    This, in tandem with the modern struggles of being ignorantly educated thanks to sneaky methods of discrimination, erasure and bias algorithms- especially in the search for honest historical documents and current global crises updates.
