This episode almost didn’t happen. After the shooting of right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk, I was consumed with grief, rage, and old trauma — especially watching friends grieve for a man who thought people like me were an “abomination.”
It’s shorter than usual, raw, and unfiltered. I talk about:
- Why this moment nearly broke me
- Trump’s toxic role in fanning division
- The strange burden and freedom of atheism
- Pride and community as small lifelines of hope
It’s not polished. It’s just real.
