"I fear oblivion..."

— Augustus (from Animal Crossing)

🏝️🏝️🏝️

In this new horizon, island villagers J.J. Slider (island phenomenon), Leeann (DJ Psyched) and PME (local lazy villager) chop wood and stack bells, overthinking about dark Animal Crossing fan theories, creativity, and the meaning of life (and after-life).

DIY episode recipe:

• Does Animal Crossing actually take place in purgatory?
• What does Tom Nook really want?
• Why are the villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons so damn nice?
• A throwback segment to episode AITA (from season 2) and discuss some posts on r/AITA
• Creating content on your own timeline (instead of feeling obligated to post regularly for your audience)

- Icarus Starfucker

🍍🌄🪽

In this glitch in the manosphere, frequent flyers Icarus Starfucker, Stephen Curtis, and 780.MASOCHIST fly high (but not too high), shooting the breeze about a wide span of topics that dovetail into the dilemma of what it means to be a good man in a world of pain.

🌄

In the wings:

• What does it mean to fly too close to the sun?
• Being an "ex-overthinker" — is it possible to overcome the habit of overthinking or, like any addiction, are you only "recovered" until you start again?
• The life-changing magic of getting slapped in the face during sex
• How Masochism (as a spicier alternative to Stoicism) can empower you to navigate life's uncertainties
• Why everyone should learn at least one martial art

HOW ABOUT AN EMPATHY RENAISSANCE?

🗿☯️👽

In this interstellar phone call, A REAL HUMAN BEING and AN ALIEN find some room to breathe and talk real shit — all while trying to heal their people with love.

Call log:

• What do aliens REALLY think of humanity?
• SOCIAL ALIENATION — the challenges of growing up as a misfit/outcast/black sheep
• THE GAIA HYPOTHESIS — humans need planet Earth to survive, but would she be better off without us?
• How art and literature deepen our capacity for EMPATHY and WISDOM
• Finding BEAUTY in sadness & grief: how hearts must be broken in order to grow and become whole again
