The FNPS: Episode 126 - Mahsa, Reconciliation, & Coolio (10-07-2022)

I got knocked on my butt last week by a really bad migraine (presumably due to Hurricane Ian) so this week's show is actually the show I'd been planning to do last week. It's a first, in that it's three separate segments. The first one is on Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman whose tragic and preventable death on September 16th has spurred worldwide protest. The second segment honours Truth & Reconciliation Day (Orange Shirt Day), which was September 28th. The final segment is a brief look at some of Coolio's best stuff, to acknowledge his passing on September 26th.

 

NB: This episode touches on some difficult subjects, such as systemic abuse. Use your best judgement as to what you feel you can handle, and take care of yourself <3
