Shim Sham is back from their spring/summer breakdown, and we're talking ways to mitigate the fear of living in America, fatness and body image, and Pride merch! Because there hasn't been enough discourse about Pride merch yet.
(Content Warnings: some talk of gun violence during the tarot section, and talk of weight/body image in the following section.)

This week we're talking about "health" and "wellness" and our personal experiences with it, and Shim Sham debuts a new segment called Queer Questions!
(Content warnings: sex talk in the Queer Questions segment, you can skip to about 12:09 to skip that, and there is talk of dieting, weight loss, etc in the latter half.)
(Originally recorded on 5/5/24)

Here we go again with all the headlines fit to scream at! Or at least a few, there's too many for just one episode. . . oh dear.
(Content warning: there is discussion of the death of Nex Benedict, which includes violence against a queer person, transphobia, and suicide. Warnings are included before the discussion starts, as well.)
(Another editor's note: time ran short and we didn't get to a happy queer news story, so here's a couple Junko found, because we can all use a little hope to keep us going.)
"A Greek novelist and a lawyer are the first same-sex couple to wed at Athens city hall" (AP)
"Queer candidates won big on Super Tuesday" (LGBTQ Nation)
Articles mentioned:
"Trans Teen Nex Benedict Died by Suicide, Says Medical Examiner"

Welcome to the, we assume, much anticipated part two of our episode about that game and that transphobe.
In this installment, Kay Jay leads Shim Sham through the rest of the timeline of events, highlighting some of the unsavory characters involved and how the role of ally is to be filled. (Spoiler alert - allyship is earned through action)
So join us for the remainder of this walk through the world of she who must not be...ugh. We can't even enjoy the puns anymore.
CORRECTION: There is also a need to correct a piece of information regarding the 'Star of David' on the floor of Gringotts bank.
Gringotts was filmed in the Australia House in London. Its where the Australia High Comission is housed - and they filmed there. The symbol is found on the Australian flag, which isn’t a star of david.
However, the choice to keep it in and not just CGI it out (Which, given the amount of effects in the movie, would have been possible) wasn’t the best choice on the part of the production. As such, Jewish critics and activists have also pointed out it falls in with a line of decisions that don’t look great next to the rest of the depictions of the bank and goblins. It’s a full tapestry.
