Renaissance & Sunny
About this episode

We recorded this episode back in September when Renaissance was visiting St. Louis. Watch the full video recording + support future Sunnaissance adventures by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheLavenderMenace

How do we deal with living under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy? As workers, as women, as lesbians, this question haunts everything about the decisions we make for our lives. We're recent college graduates and we do not have the answers!!! But we do, as always, have thoughts and hot take responses. Please email us your hot takes for future episodes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com. We love reading your emails!

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we have the same favorite song off of the Short 'n Sweet album. In our forthcoming episode, we discuss our Spotify Wrapped stats, and you, our dear listeners will see how our Sabrina listening habits shook out this year...!

We're low on media recommendations this time of year, and while we do appreciate all of the media recommendations y'all send our way, the best we can offer this episode is one measly book recommendation from Sunny: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. Renaissance recommends street tacos.

Much love! Happy holidays & hope you have a happy end to this rough ride of 2024.
