Cailin is an 18 year old Filipina-American writing this podcast description in the third person. She feels super weird about it. Like, super weird about it.
She still doesn't really know what this podcast is about but she CAN tell you that there are new episodes (semi) weekly ;)
“clickable action” – a conversation about online activism, leftist spaces, and sustaining social movements
in this third episode, we welcome our very first podcast guest – my friend Emily, whose story about being fined by the mayor of her borough for organizing a Black Lives Matter protest made national headlines. the two of us have a conversation about online and performative activism, fragmented leftist spaces, and what we – in our EXTREMELY limited experience in quote/unquote “youth activist spaces” – see as the necessary steps needed to sustain a social movement. (SKIP TO 2:01 FOR THE START OF THE CONVERSATION)

“graduating” high school in 2020, living for the future, not getting closure, and taking a gap year
in this second episode, I ramble about what it was like to have my high school senior year cut short after years of looking forward to it — and why my expectations were kind of a problem in the first place. I talk about how the hot mess that was this year has made me reflect on my own internal motivations, how I decided to take a gap year despite always idolizing the american college experience, and how i'm feeling as all my friends start school this year.

asian americans and our conditional BLM allyship, cultural appropriation, and anti-blackness
in this scuffed first episode I rant abt some of the whack anti-black sentiment i've seen asians exhibiting on twitter — especially in the wake of the newly invigorated BLM movement. I talk about the hypocrisy in Asian Americans holding Black people to absurdly high moral standards while we ourselves continue to appropriate Black culture, where such double standards might stem from, and how we can address them moving forward.
