Is That a Load in Your Teeth or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: COT 12

We are back from summer break & hopping right into City of Tea with a Season 2 banger ;) of an opener, including a new theme song by Sacrament's own, Bust Nuttington!
In this episode we are joined by sexual health educator, Elaine, to get the tea on getting your orifices tested - for free! No, there isn't a test for everything, yes you have to ask for specific tests, & syphilis didn't die with Al Capone - so get tested! We learn that Sacramento takes the STD bronze in ranking for highest cases of gonorrhea in California's 58 counties (2021), & maybe Invisalign bj's are better...loads excluded. 
Grab a pen & paper, you'll want to take notes because Elaine brings it, but just in case you aren't the note taking type, we got you (keep scrolling).

Hello, is it vegetables & community you're looking for?: COT 11

In a time when scarcity is the framework those in power want us to hang on to, NorCal Resist is showing Sacramento that people care & provide for people. Our guest today is Kelsey Brewer, one of the founding farmers over at NorCal Resist's Seeds of Solidarity Mutual Aid Farm. 
We are going to talk about the beauty & blisters of working the land to provide for community. This includes giving back to the land, entering into the tension around land-use, ensuring that the harvest is culturally appropriate, & the incredible community that comes from getting your hands dirty. 
We also briefly touch on the cooling centers & water distro that is being offered by Sacrament's raddest. 
It's a conversation about how each person giving based on their ability can provide for each person based on their needs.

Precedent, who is she?

Day-to-day living in the democratic hellscape called here ain’t reminder enough that we gotta do shit real different so SCOTUS was like, “hold my beer”.
 
In this episode we go the long way to remind you, our listener fam, that anything rooted in capitalism *ahem, American democracy* is actual trash. We also write an open letter to a President that could actually help us.
 
Listen in for all the takes. Thanks for tuning in! & don’t forget, fuck Lisa Kaplan, the police, Howard Chan, all campus law enforcement, anyone against Cap Resolution, the ones in that persons garden, Ryan Messano, highway expansion, Gavin, the PIT Count & SCOTUS.

Mayor Howard Chan: COT 8

Please continue to forgive us for the audio issues. We are exhausted elder millennials struggling & striving to make it through everything. 
Gabe is out this week because his job made him stuff envelopes for too many hours which caused his brain to be mush. RUDE. Shannon & PJ carry on without him but we gotta be real, he was hella missed. 
We are joined by Councilmember Katie Valenzuela outta the city center district 4 to talk about the budget (she voted no along with CM Mai Vang) & the PIT Count. 
 
The public meeting around the city budget ended with a surprise to Darrell (ok and maybe others too), Mayor Howard Chan was a shit ass, & Lisa Kaplan doesn’t understand her actual job. 
Listen in for all the takes. Thanks for tuning in! & don’t forget, fuck Lisa Kaplan, the police, Howard Chan, all campus law enforcement, anyone against Cap Resolution, the ones in that persons garden, Ryan Messano, highway expansion, Gavin, & the PIT Count.

Early 2000s Cowboy Hats Are Your Free Space: COT 7

Shannon is out this week, but PJ and Gabe attempted to hold it down with a geektastic guest. Damian Harmony joined City of Tea to talk about the threat of really stupid AI, the unimaginative approach to not solving the housing crisis, and why that annoying Nazi, Ryan Messano, should get their own personalized CoT merch…
Then we learn all about some really cool things Damian brings to art and culture of Sacramento. Follow CapitolPUNishment on all the socials and buy your tickets early for their shows at the comedy spot the first Friday of every month! Your next opportunity is June 7th! If you’re into esoteric connections between nerdery and…just about everything, then you’ll really dig Damian’s podcast “A Geek History of Time” streaming new episodes every Friday on all the platforms. 
Also Pride is coming up, anarchist book fair, and all sorts of great ways to get out doors and show your love to the community here in Sac. 
Until next time, keep the tea iced cold, cos it’s hot as sweaty balls out there. 
Thanks so much for tuning in! & don’t forget, fuck Lisa Kaplan, the place, Howard Chan, all campus law enforcement, anyone against Camp Resolution, the ones in that persons garden, Ryan Messano, highway expansion & Gavin. 
That’s the tea,

Go Ride Your Bike & The Weather Works for Capitalism: COT 6

In this week's episode, the Captains of Fun & Fuckery try really hard to move away from pessimism into hopeful spaces. If you know us, you know that shit is tough! Luckily, our guests are amazing at a reframe, so we eventually got there. 
We are tackling the big & really fucking important topic of transportation. Kendra & Jeanie, from Cal Bike & Fearless Advocacy, respectively, remind us that transportation touches everything &, like so many things, it doesn't get enough attention (except maybe from rich white men). 
Our guests help us wrap our heads around the interection of transit & everything, amplify the real issues of marginalizeed folks being left out of important planning discussions & give us permission to drive a car, sometimes. 
We hope you leave this conversation eager to hop on a bike or bus or take a walk. 
How can you get involved in transit-related shit? Check out Civic Thread, SABA, & The Sacramento Bike Kitchen. Don't forget to let your local reps know you want to see transit prioritized in government budgeting!

In this episode the captains of Fun & Fuckery are giving post work bar dish sesh. The dish is CSUS joined the Pro-Palestine encampment movement & "comrades" outing themselves as being on the wrong side of the movement. 
There are plenty of ways to support the CSUS students as they protest genocide, we encourage you to check in with DSA Sacramento's Mutual Aid Group &/or follow us on the socials to see the info we are sharing there.
