Hey, friends! It's Pride Month *everywhere* and Larissa has finally been able to do an episode on the date of something! This week we talk about João W. Nery, trans activist in Brazil and first man to receive gender confirmation in Brazil, and his importance in ensuring the rights of trans people to have access to adequate identification that doesn't misidentify them.

Hi, everyone! So, this week we kinda went crazy on the topics and talked about a bit of everything! Cities with the same name in Brazil cause confusion in Larissa’s household! Is Bolsonaro an idiot or a grifter? Was the Romero Britto thing funny or SUPER funny?

So stay tuned for our recap of last week and learning WAY TOO MUCH about Gareth’s personal life!

As always, we’d like to thank Uoster Zielinski for our graphic design and the essential workers, for keeping us safe. And you, our lovely listeners. We love you. #stayhome #blm

Hi, friends! Today we talk about the price of books in Brazil as the Bolsanaro government prepares to remove the tax-free status of this already pricey item. But why are books so pricey if they aren’t taxed? How does piracy work in Brazil? Well, this episode is free, so listen to find out!

Also, would you wanna go on the first manned mission to Mars??? #terraformersneedbeans

Hi, friends! Sorry we're late! This week was supposed to be a simple state-themed episode. But then there was a coup attempt in the United States, so the if you're sick of hearing about it, just jump to the mid-point of the episode. Listen to the whole thing to get some good, old-fashioned Larissa rants. Also, since the recording of the episode, the situation with the pandemic in Amazonas has become more dire. People are lining up for oxygen, and dying without it. Bolsonaro has blamed the state for not handing out hidroxicloroquine and ivermectin, drugs known to have no effect on Covid-19. So, that's the latest. There are possibilities for international donations, which we'll add to our show notes (even though the government should be the one doing it). As always, we'd like to thank Uoster Zielinski for out graphic design and all essential workers out there, keeping us safe.
