Everything’s Connected and It’s On Fire. Racism, Queerness & the Far-Right Machine

Miriam Boosh and Sam Reynolds go all in on Trump, the far right, and how their bs is bleeding across borders. Miriam shares a recent racist experience and we talk about how moments like that aren’t isolated, they’re part of something much bigger and more dangerous.The conversation expands into the deep, personal work of understanding gender queerness. and the emotional labour of constantly explaining yourself in a world built to misunderstand you. This one's about survival, solidarity, and refusing to shut up. But it’s not all fire and fury, we also try to touch on the moments that lifted our spirits this week. The people, stories, and small wins that remind us why the fight’s still worth it.Chapters00:00 Introduction 01:18 Ronan the Rat: A Heroic Tale05:40 Trumps Destroying America 09:29 Struggles with Recovery and Mental Health12:53 The Challenges of Social Interactions14:20 Experience As Black Irish 23:16 The Battle Against Far-Right Extremist Ideology28:25 Understanding Gender Queerness 38:41 Empathy and Different Perspectives42:51 Boston Tok And The Hands Off ProtestsIf this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
