Hi DU !

Hi, everyone.
I have been here for 10yrs, I don't post much. Just reading and learning. I admired all of you so much for the insight to some of our biggest issues we face as a nation and the world. So I'm reaching out today to let you folks know, I started a podcast and your support would be greatly appreciated. The podcast is called I Hate That Sh*t. A podcast about hating shit but loving life.
We try to have an honest discussion about all the bullshit we deal with such as getting older to taking care of aging parents to Karens in the grocery store.
It is available on all platforms. Spotify, apple, etc.
Comments, critiques and anything else you can think of would be helpful to make me a better podcaster.
Thanks Democratic Underground
Sincerely, Bonita

are named Karen, and shouldn’t be made to feel uncomfortable by their own friends here. It’s so unnecessary and incredibly rude to them.

My family loves listening to podcasts in the car. Good luck with yours. Have fun with it.

Sorry BLM, I meant no disrespect. I have girlfriends name Karen. Just using the nomenclature to make a point.

I have to worry about freezes damaging my mango trees. But I love the fact that I was able to retire and buy a place where I can grow a few mango trees of my own.

but I am so sick of the butt hurt about "Karen". It is the LEAST offensive name ever to be used to describe hateful actions; actions that can get people violently tortured and/or murdered.

Reminds me of the episode of South Park where White people went to Washington to make the Nword illegal for ANYONE to say because Black people found a way to use it against White people; and it hurt their feelings.

I'm done, but I couldn't stay quiet.
