Seamossgirlies

In today's episode, Kate speaks to the very first guest on the show... Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. He is currently running for U.S. Senate in Michigan on a progressive policy platform that is focused on money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All. We talk about his background in public health, what inspired him to run for office, and what he makes of RFK Jr. and the MAHA Movement. If you live in Michigan, make sure you get out to vote for Abdul on August 4th in the Democratic Primary and on November 3rd in the general election. You can phonebank and volunteer even if you don't live in Michigan! https://abdulforsenate.com/  instagram.com/seamossgirlies instagram.com/kateglavanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Kate looks at how pervasive cosmetic surgery is in society and how choice feminism derails any criticism of these procedures. She defines choice feminism and explains its limitations when advocating for the collective liberation of women from the patriarchy. Kate analyzes the increased normalization of cosmetic surgery and what this tells us about beauty standards in the digital era. Tune in to understand why the online discourse around botox or filler can feel so unproductive when we're stuck discussing individual choices.

In today's episode, Kate looks at the increase in anti-birth control content on social media and how it comes at a time when reproductive rights are under attack in the United States. She discusses the wellness influencers that are telling young women to get off of the pill and how this has influenced perspectives on contraceptive care. Kate explains why this messaging is dangerous when there is a coordinated, well-funded conservative movement looking at rolling back a woman's right to contraception.

In today's episode, Kate explores the hell that is "Skinnytok" and how it's gained traction on social media. She looks at how these videos promote disordered eating, Eurocentric beauty standards, and dangerous dieting habits to young impressionable women via fast-paced social media algorithms. Kate analyzes the link between diet culture, patriarchy, and conservative ideals — highlighting how thinness is intertwined with a larger project to control women's bodies and keep us too weak to challenge unjust systems around us. Kate discusses the deadly consequences of eating disorders such as brain atrophy, osteoporosis, organ failure, infertility, and more — which is why ED treatment needs to be made much more accessible through public policy.

In today's episode, Kate talks about the prevalence of alt-right pipelines in the wellness space online. Kate looks at how seemingly harmless niches such as fitness, clean eating, pilates, and more can quietly serve as pipelines to conservative ideologies. She touches on why conservatives are so good at mobilizing online due to their messaging in seemingly "apolitical niches" and how these subtle pipelines can start to spread more radical sentiments. Kate discusses how algorithms can speed up this radicalization for both young men and women and how to spot these talking points when you scroll on your FYP. Kate touches on the imbalance between liberal and conservative content online and how the Left can start to build out alt-left pipelines to counteract all of the conservative messaging on social media.

In today’s episode, Kate discusses the dangers of the MAHA — Make America Healthy Again — Movement and RFK Jr. Kate analyzes how this movement preys on paranoia and health anxiety, then pushes misinformation, conspiracy theories, and distrust of science and government to its supporters. Kate explores who's supporting this movement — from moms to wellness influencers — and which talking points are resonating with Americans. This episode breaks down RFK Jr.'s dangerous push to defund critical health agencies, push pseudoscience, fire experts, and undermine the very systems that keep us safe against public health problems. Kate finishes the episode by looking at how hyperbolic language and flashy talking points distract from real solutions like universal healthcare and equitable access to care, which are the keys to make America healthy.   Resources mentioned: Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, by Sophie Gilbert Wealth, shown to scale: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ instagram.com/seamossgirlies instagram.com/kateglavanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
