Today on Sapphic Rising™, you'll hear about my reflections on, “What’s the Point?” when we’re facing or witnessing atrocities, be it individually or as a collective. The creative process has its own ebb and flow anyway, but it can feel jarring when we’re overwhelmed with events and unsure how to keep going, while acknowledging what happens in our world. It's a lot to cover, and the chat today isn't a one-off conversation. This is ongoing, and needs recognition.
Activation warning: the episode is a little heavy, so listen when you have the spoons or capacity for it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
