This episode of FudaForThought is intended for mature audiences and may contain adult language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.
The story I want to share with you in this episode is one that dates back to the beginning of the last decade of the 20th century.
The USSR was collapsing, toast was starting to take a back seat to the bagel, and my friends and I were all becoming young adults, knee deep in puberty. You may find this hard to believe, but this story I am about to share, from decades ago, has ties to today, to June of 2022, Pride month, to Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida’s disgraceful HB1557, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill.
This episode has to do with bullying and antibullying, lifelong trauma and how it manifests in different ways, for different people, from the empath to the sociopath, from crippling defeat to triumphant renaissance.
And now, Roe overturned, and the United States dips further into chaos.
To quote Jerri Blank of Strangers With Candy, "When the lunch bell rings, why don't ya eat me."
