I was busy doing work agitating around the absolutely unacceptable choices we were presented with in the US election this November, and I needed to set aside practically everything in my life to help make some statewide protests happen. Additionally, immediately after that I got roped into doing a bunch of work to help a few hundred workers try to unionize across 3 cities and 2 states. Suffice to say it's been a busy time. I am struggling to find a balance between work, politics, and my hobbies, so I appreciate all of you bearing with me as I learn to do the dance. I will also say that the choice to delay the episode was actually deliberate as this episode deals with elections, and I didn't think people would want to think about them that close to an actual election. It just kind of got away from me afterwards. Anyways, enjoy the episode! Sophie Scholl
