263 - Unfiltered Rants & Real Talk

In this solo episode of Season 14, I'm sounding off on what's been on my mind—from paywalls blocking quality journalism to social media's shifting role in news consumption. I kick things off with a fiery rant on paywalls—why is essential news locked behind a subscription while misinformation runs wild? Should reliable information really be a luxury? Y'all had a LOT to say and break down: 🔥 Losing Twitter as my go-to news source—and struggling to find a decent alternative. 👩🏾‍⚕️ My hysterectomy journey—why we need more real talk on reproductive health. 🤝 The power of community—because having a solid support system is everything. It's raw, real, and packed with personal reflections. Tap in and let's keep this conversation going! 🔗 A transcript of the full episode is available here. 💜 Join Boonie over on Patreon for exclusive content and events here: Patreon.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📢 Use the hashtag #TheBoonieBreakdown to share your thoughts! 🛍️ Shop The Boonie Breakdown Store: www.thebooniebreakdown.com/shop 📲 Follow The Boonie Breakdown on Social Media: Instagram: @TheBoonieBreakdown Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📩 Have something to say?
