Métis in Space podcast (the fan-girling blog entry)
People, go take a listen to otipêyimsiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space Podcast right now. They just finished their first season and it is glorious! Basically, take two marvellous, foul-mouthed nerdy Métis women, drinking red wine and watching Hollywood-made SF. And ripping gigantic holes White colonial narratives in the process. I. LOVE. IT. Chelsea and Molly are hilarious. They are relentless and that is perfect. This podcast is made by Indigenous women for an Indigenous audience, so they have no will (and no reason) to coddle the poor White people whose ass is getting ripped. They also have no mercy for academics, because we deserve it, every last bit of it. The "Ask a môniyâw" segment are the best part.
So, yeah, I'm a fan. They don't want to be studied by White academics without previous permission and compensation so, Reader, bear that in mind. I'm just gonna wait for season two, help them along when the crowdfunding campaign starts and listen. 'Cause these girls are great.
Cue ominous flute.
