Photo by the Rezayi family.thanks for supporting us with your hard earned cash!The world doesn’t seem too good right now, and we’re here to talk about it. But even more than that, we’re here to talk about how social media is causing observers of world events more trauma in some cases than the very people world events happen to. A study in the national geographic has opened our eyes to the way that our brain will become cyclically retraumatized around major events, and how dark it can get.Meanwhile, we also dive into Nooran’s shooting in Longueuil Quebec this week, the brutal response by the police, and the emboldening, and worsening racism of the CAQ. We also dive into the replacement theory of the PQ as Gabrielle confronts Isaac about their previous interest in the PQ. All in a days work with Isaac and Gab!
