In this week’s episode of the Um, Sir Podcast, Emily and Samie are bitter and not in the mood for institutional bullshit.
They are talking about a lot this week, like the brain-dead pregnant woman in Georgia being kept alive against her family’s wishes. They get into the medical ethics, the political theater, and the horrifying reality of what that looks like in practice (spoiler: it’s not just Sleeping Beauty in a hospital bed).
Samie and Emily also talk about Washington State’s new clergy mandatory reporting law (yes, even if it’s said in confession), and why the Catholic Church is big mad about it. Meanwhile, the Quakers are out here being the real MVPs, marching for immigrant rights with 17th-century receipts in hand. Respect.
Plus:
✨ Deja Foxx came to Washington and gave us life
✨ Redheads are Black now (Emily included—TikTok said so)
✨ Annabelle might’ve set fire to a plantation
✨ Ben & Jerry’s is fighting genocide harder than most of Congress
They said what they said. And if you’re a politician not doing your job, maybe don’t listen to this one. Or do. And take notes.
