About this episode
<p>Listen. Sometimes we like to shake it up. So while we’re finishing up next week’s episode, I decided to open a sound file and spilled only secrets. This was an exercise in just chilling with you, and not editing a thing. Think of it as my exposure therapy + life advice and embarrassing tales from me, your actual biological father from the internet. Is it too long? Too bad! Is it too boring? I don’t know! But in these uncertain times, it’s important to remember that showing up is what matters. I don’t know, probably. </p> <p>A donation went to the <a href="https://chuffed.org/project/hand-of-salvation" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hand of Salvation Initiative</a></p> <p>More episode sources and links</p> <p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oikologyencore" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oikology (DECLUTTERING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/entomophagy-anthropology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Entomophagy Anthropology (EATING INSECTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/disgustology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Disgustology (REPULSION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/enigmatology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Enigmatology (WORD GAMES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/politicalsociology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Political Sociology (VOTER TURNOUT & SUPPRESSION)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic" rel="noopener noreferrer">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a></p> <p><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a></p> <p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sponsors of Ologies</a></p> <p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras" rel="noopener noreferrer">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month</p> <p><a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!</p> <p>Follow Ologies on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Bluesky</a></p> <p>Follow Alie Ward on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer"> TikTok</a></p> <p>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of<a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Maitland Audio Productions</a> and<a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Jake Chaffee</a></p> <p>Managing Director: Susan Hale</p> <p>Scheduling Producer: Noel Dilworth</p> <p>Transcripts by Aveline Malek </p> <p>Website by<a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Kelly R.
