      Jun 18 2025

      Redheads, Rapture & Reproductive Rage
      Jun 7 2025
      Hey friends, it's Emily and Samie, and in this week’s episode of the Um, Sir Podcast, we’re bitter and not in the mood for institutional bullshit.We’re talking about a lot this week—like the brain-dead pregnant woman in Georgia being kept alive against her family’s wishes. We get into the medical ethics, the political theater, and the horrifying reality of what that looks like in practice (spoiler: it’s not just Sleeping Beauty in a hospital bed).We also talk about Washington State’s new clergy mandatory reporting law (yes, even if it’s said in confession), and why the Catholic Church is big mad about it. Meanwhile, the Quakers are out here being the real MVPs—marching for immigrant rights with 17th-century receipts in hand. Respect.Plus:✨ Deja Foxx came to Washington and gave us life✨ Redheads are Black now (Emily included—TikTok said so)✨ Annabelle might’ve set fire to a plantation✨ Ben & Jerry’s is fighting genocide harder than most of CongressWe said what we said.

    • Push Presents and Pro-Natalist Propaganda

      Push Presents and Pro-Natalist Propaganda
      May 13 2025

      We’re back—exhausted, angry, and wrapping up Mother’s Day weekend with a fresh round of attacks on reproductive rights, kids’ safety, and reality itself.

      Trump cut the Safe to Sleep campaign (because who needs SIDS prevention?) while pushing pro-natalist policies like a $5,000 baby bonus. Emily’s just waiting on her presidential push present.

      In Iowa, a Catholic hospital claimed life begins at conception—until it meant paying for a stillbirth. RFK Jr. keeps spreading ableist, anti-vax garbage, so we handed the mic to a fourth grader with autism who knows more science than he ever will.

      We also dig into abortion funding cuts in Washington, the gutting of public trust, and a new child labor protection bill (because yes, that's still a fight in 2025). Oh—and we have thoughts on the whole "parental rights" charade.

      It’s all starting to feel like satire—but we’re still here—deciding whether to laugh or cry.
