So we were going to record today, but we may have gone shopping instead. Oopsie, but we will tell you all about it next week.

After winter bugs went round the sproglets, and then the lockdown, MM&TO have been Mia for a bit.
But yay to aunty Cindy for keeping us safe, so we could once again be in the real world, where we all got to talk to other adults woo hoo.
We are hoping to delight your ears once again soon, for now delight your eyes on our masky mushes.

Back into the sordid conspiracy surrounding Covid, The Vaccine, and What Does the Public Need to Know.

Dawn takes us on a journey to question a doctors right to argue accepted medical practice, a patience right to understand what they are agreeing to and some historical events which lead us here.

This week, Taby's woman of note story has a bit of everything. We have a rags to almost riches story, dinosaurs and p**p, folk legend and science and art. But of course capitalism and the patriarchy are for ever lurking in the background.

This week, Dawn discusses the thalidomide tragedy. The dangers of rushed testing, and why capitalism should have no part in our health care system.

This we made the mistake of delving into the comments section, off an article disscussing solo mothers struggling on benefits.
Jade returns and has a lot to say on the subject.
We are angry.
We are mothers.
Hear us roar.

This is hilarious, and I will be reminding Taby of this at every opportunity.
I'm (Dawn) the gen x-er of the group. Which obviously makes me the coolest.
And Jade bless her cottons (and other patronizing oldie time sayings) is the millennial.
What generation are you?
Also in case you've missed it, link to latest episode in the comments.

Some born in the early 1980s are less than impressed with the "offensive" new label.

A lovely listener wanted our opinion on the story.
Thankfully our resident conspiracy vo**ur Dawn, already had this on her radar.
Link as always in the comments.
If you have a subject you would like to hear us bleat on about. You know what to do.

It said they were still glowing in their coffins.
Join us as Taby tells the harrowing story of the radium girls. Unfortunately a tale as old as time, where capitalism and lack of respect for the female workers, resulted in tragedy. The beauty industry also played its part, and there is a stark warning about not listening to the scientists. As well as a good reminder, as Dawn would say, to make sure you unionise.

This is no sacrifice. No attempt to appease angry gods. This practice is a loving and generous way to give back whilst letting go.

Listen in as Taby introduces Dawn to the Tibetan ritual of sky burials.

On reflection of the killing of Sarah Everard, and the events that unfolded at her vigil, we are reminded of the reclaim the night protests during the time of the Yorkshire ripper.
44 years, our oldest hosts entire life.
Why has nothing changed.
This is why we are still fighting.

Not how we expected to kick of our 2021 season. However the world has a habit of turning in an instant.
When we woke on the morning of our recording day, we had an inkling we would briefly discuss American politics as well as conspiracy theorists. however as events unfolded we decided to record our reactions, for what they are worth.
This is a knee jerk reaction, and much has come to light since we recorded.

What a start to the year! One week in and events unfolding in America forced a last minute change of topic for the girls. We recorded on the 07/01/2021, which meant things of interest were happening in the American capitol. This is what the world looks like when conspiracy theory and cries of fake n...
