  1. MICRODOSING ABORTIONS With Missy Dabice & JP Pritchett

    Episode 181

    Show notes

    It’s the Eve of Halloween and the week was full of creepy crawlies! Like Billy Corgan slithering into our timelines with the white man horror classics. This week’s abobolandia news is putting the “trick” in trick-or-treat: the Assman-In-Chief has ordered all his minions running for office to stand down any plans related to stripping abortion access until after the midterms. Have no fear! Lizz and Moji are gonna fill you in on A BIG ABORTION story that is simmering on the back burner at the EPA! You need to hear this if we are gonna fight back when they come at us with big White Walker energy.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    OH MY RAGE! It’s Missy Dabice from Mannequin Pussy! The lead vocalist and guitarist unpacks the lore behind the band’s iconic name and gets real as fuck with the Buzzkills about middle aged rage for the freaks, the emotional toll of turning your fury into art, and being LOUD, proud, and unapologetically pro-abobo. So embrace your inner freak and let that primal scream RIP.

    PLUS! What do you get when you mix the most badass trans- and queer-owned, sex-positive adult store with badass, unapologetic mutual aid support? SMITTEN KITTEN, BABY. We’ve got JP Pritchett in the house! The sex educator and founder/owner of Smitten Kitten, AKA Minneapolis’ dopest dildo store fighting fascism on the daily, is gabbing it up with Lizz and Moji about HoleGate (yes, you read that right), vaginal atrophy, embracing your kink, and all of the amazing mutual aid Smitten Kitten has provided for immigrants, queer, and vulnerable folks creating a literal blueprint for how to show up in the world. Y’all, the revolution does indeed come with batteries included.

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

  4. ENCORE: Courts in Our Shorts: Abortion Pill on Trial

    Episode 178

    Show notes

    ENCORE ALERT! If you’ve been anywhere near us lately, you know we’ve been VERY busy yelling about mifepristone. Lizz and Moji have been MIA from the podosphere the last couple of weeks because our badass team at Abortion Access Front just wrapped up the Mife Stories Project in DC, a 24-HOUR mifepristone storytelling marathon, where we joined some incredible leaders in the pro-abobo movement to read aloud the real stories of people who have accessed this medication and wanted to share their truth. Because while the anti-abortion movement keeps doubling down on the same tired lies and misinformation about mifepristone, we’re gonna keep drowning that bullshit out with the voices of the people who actually use it.

    So, since Mife is VERY much on the brain, we’re bringing back our episode breaking down the Louisiana v. FDA hearing from September. Here’s how that hearing went down…

    Last month, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, the case that could decide whether mifepristone remains available through telehealth, pharmacies, and the mail. If ya didn’t know, for the last YEAR The Boot State has been obsessing over giving access to the abortion pill mifepristone the boot. So you best believe the Buzzkills dove head, nose, ears, and tatas-first into the fuckery of the oral arguments so you don’t have to! Lizz and Moji break down all the legal jargon, courtroom chaos, the standing question, the “irreparable harm” claims, and what may happen next. Because if anti-abortion extremists are trying to turn one state’s ban into everyone’s problem, you deserve to know exactly how.

    PLUS! The amazing folks at ProPublica dropped some tragic knowledge – deaths from ectopic pregnancies have DOUBLED since the Dobbs decision. And we are pissed. Oh, and remember that craycray surrogate case we’ve been tracking and blabbing about? WELL, it just got nuttier. We couldn’t make this shit up even if we tried.

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

  6. ENCORE: Shenanigans at the 5th Circus Court With RaeShandra Lias & Nikki Sapiro Vinckier

    Episode 174

    Show notes

    ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are off for a much needed end-of-summer break! But, no need to fear! We’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. One thing about us: we will ALWAYS do THE MOST to protect medication abortion. So, in honor of that, we’re dropping an encore episode from May, when we tried to make sense of the mifepristone case headed to the Fifth Circuit.

    If you’re not already familiar with Louisiana v. FDA or need a refresher on WTF is going on, this is the perfect catch-up episode. WHY YOU ASK? Because Sept 9th is the next hearing at the Fifth Circuit on this case, we’ll be dropping a brand-new episode breaking down the oral arguments and what they could mean for the future of medication abortion. Basically: consider this your mifepristone case homework. The episode went a little something like this…

    Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most by funneling money to FAKE clinics. So yeah, you’re gonna need an emotional support drink, spliff, snack, or whatever survival instincts you have left for this episode.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    We had to call in backup for this one! We are joined by Michigan-based OGBYN PA-C, Author, and Creator, Nikki Sapiro Vinckier – the ultimate reproductive health sherpa! Nikki is going to talk about her new book, “We Deserve More,” her latest citizen-led repro win in Michigan, and guide us through EVERYTHING that is happening to access to medication abortion right now. Can we still get pills? How do we get pills? What pills can we still get? Will Sam Alito give me pills? WE NEED ANSWERS, AND NIKKI IS DELIVERING!

    PLUS! THE ONE AND ONLY, RaeShanda Lias is here and queeeeer, babay! The absolutely fabulous Digital Creator & Diversity Advocate joins the Buzzkills to fill our joy cups back up by making us laugh, reminding us that Black queer love is indeed thriving, talking to us about clapping back online, her new podcast, and checking the board about RFK Jr. being absolute trash. You’re welcome.

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

    URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now! Telling your story can help protect mifepristone and ensure others have the same opportunity you did to choose their own path.

  7. Hoosier Hero? With Dr. Caitlin Bernard

    Episode 175

    Show notes

    MINI-SODE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break, but we know your earholes need a pro-abobo fix – so we GOTCHU!

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    Remember the story of the Indiana OB-GYN who, just days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, performed a LIFE-SAVING abortion on a 10-year-old CHILD who was turned away for care by the state of Ohio back in 2022? WELL, your Buzzkills brought in that AMAZING provider who stays fighting the good fight in and around the Hoosier State. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana-based OB-GYN and Assistant Professor at Indiana University Medical School, joins the Buzzkills to yap about the growing-up-in-a-hippie-commune to becoming-a-doctor pipeline and the devastating impact of USAID cuts. She also gets real about the exodus of OB-GYNs and med students from states with bans and shares what it means to provide abortion care in a state with a near-total abortion ban where anti-abobo cuntservatives are coming for providers. Sometimes hope looks like a doctor who refuses to quit and instead keeps fighting like hell. PLUS! She joins us in one of our fav pastimes — dragging a couple of garbage barnacle Attorney General goons.

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

  8. No Lube, So Rude With Peaches & Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari

    Episode 176

    Show notes

    Another week, another weekly dose of your fav podcast, and international abortion hellscapes are just where it starts! Your Buzzkills explore the fatberg of shitty reactions to Massachusetts expanding abortion access, plus a short trip to the land of magical anti-abortion thinking, AKA a place where people (mostly white dudes) ask questions no one wanted answered, like: What if we decriminalized rape so people could get fewer abortions, since states only allow abortions in “exceptions” like rape? PLUS! We’ll sprinkle on a sliver of good news, update you on the surrogate story from hell, and unpack questions people ACTUALLY want answered like, “What the actual fuck iz “Operation Pangea?”

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    What happens when an OB-GYN from the Beaver State gets an RV? Reproductive healthcare hits the road. Portland’s Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari — board-certified OB-GYN and certified badass — is bringing care to rural Oregon and the Pacific Northwest with FemForward Health, her mobile clinic. She joins the Buzzkills to talk Massachusetts ditching its gestational abortion ban, healthcare reform, and her must-read memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work.

    PLUSSSSS! SOUND THE ALARM AND HOLD ONTO YOUR STRAP! The one and only PEACHES is back on the pod! The badass musician and artist returns to blab with the Buzzkills about her No Lube So Rude tour that benefits abortion access, rocking the fuck out of menopause, and taking her rage, joy, voting power, and sex-positive energy on tour at 60!

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

  9. AOC Gives IVF, RFK Jr. Gives IBS With Dr. Tiffany Green & Katie Jayne Earl

    Episode 173

    Show notes

    The Buzzkillians are back together again!! Lizz spills the tea to Moji about her travels in Vienna and they yap it up about AOC’s public fertility journey and who’s big MAD about it! ALSO, no one is asking the real head scratchers about the surrogate from Alaska who refused an abortion, so the Buzzkills are blabbing about it with the Abortion AF team! We don’t have many answers, but we DO have more questions about this than we do about THOSE photos of Josh Hawley nose-to-nose with someone who may or may not be Spencer Pratt.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    Dr. Tiffany Green, Director of the Reproductive Equity Action Lab and Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison joins to talk about collaborating on a MASSIVE 50,000 person study on abortion and contraception access after Dobbs. We talk about her findings, and why who gets included in abortion research matters. We are totally on Team Tiffany, who helped us see: a) surveys are sexy, and b) when Black people win, everybody wins.

    PLUS!! Get ready to rock out because the lead singer of your fav new band “The Blushes” is HERE! Musician and Activist, Katie Jayne Earl, of The Riot Grrrl/Catholicism cosplay trio yaps with the Buzzkills about pissing off the Manosphere, becoming an artist, how bringing joy to the revolution is just as important as fighting the fight.

  10. The Anti-Abobos Are Getting Bolder in Boulder With Carmen Morales & Erika Christensen

    Episode 172

    Show notes

    Lizz is off being fabulous at a super cool abortion conference this week so Moji is joined by the brilliant, Legal Analyst Baddie known as Jess Pieklo!! Wooooooooo! Jess and Moj are getting into the dirty deets of Florida's latest attempt to win the gold medal in the Anti-Science Olympics. PLUS! Because cops continue to find new and creative ways to disappoint us, they also cover reports out of Boulder, Colorado, where police officers have been praying alongside anti-abortion protesters outside clinics. ACAB means all cops, even the ones who think they're moonlighting as pastors. BUT HOLD UP, they’re also CELEBRATING *gasp* a couple of rare, beautiful abobo wins…ahhh celebration - we’ve missed you, old friend!

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    Have you ever wondered what actually happens when someone needs abortion or miscarriage care later in pregnancy? Erika Christensen, Co-Founder of Patient Forward, joins us to share her own experience, break down why later abortion care is so misunderstood and VITAL, and introduce their new Get Later Care resource, because accurate information shouldn't be harder to find than anti-abortion propaganda!

    PLUS! Hold onto your cafecito because Carmen Morales is here to hilariously unpack hormones, narcissistic parents, and being an I-grew-up-in-Florida survivor. The FUNNY AF comedian and podcaster swings by to yap about her podcast, being "chemically in a weird place" (thanks, PCOS – yes we are still using its deadname), getting radicalized by her aunties, and the beautiful art of dragging the Sunshine State.

  11. Jimothy Has More Rizz Than Andrew Tate With Ericka Hart & Heb Murphy

    Episode 171

    Show notes

    Yer Buzzkills break down the facts about Trump’s silent but deadly CDC nominee. Sure, she gleefully promoted surveillance on abortion seekers, but it’s what she DIDN’T say in her confirmation hearings that could be worse than a Jesse Watters stag party at a Taco Bell. All that and a lawsuit win comes out of South Dakota, updates drop on the Texas midwife story we’ve been following, and Josh Hawley throws a tantrum over Plan C Pills’ website.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    What does it mean to build a world where sex education is rooted in pleasure, consent, and liberation? The dopest sex educator we know is HERE! Author and activist, Ericka Hart, who combines her lived experiences as a Queer, Black, Femme with her expertise as a sex educator for her book Nasty Work. BONUS: Ericka has a great story of some shenanigans that got her booted from the Peace Corps!

    PLUS! What do clowns, REI, catchy songs, and emotional healing have in common? HEB MURPHY! The comedian and digital creator delivers the serotonin as she joins the Buzzkills to talk about writing jingles that we can all somehow relate hard to, why touching grass is deeply therapeutic, and what Bill Nye and Ken Ham have to do with her going from conservative AF to queer AF by the age of 22.

    Episode 168

    Show notes

    Welcome back, Buzzkills! It’s been four years since the fall of Roe and we are full to the brim of righteous feminist rage! Wouldst thou care to dance deliciously with us?

    GUEST ROLL CALL

    We had to bring in the heaviest hitter for this week’s Dobbs anniversary podcast. Your Buzzkills have the perfect guest for this horribleversary — journalist and author of Killers of Roe, Amy Littlefield. Amy breaks down for Lizz and Moji the deep cuts and the backroom buffoons who, for 50 years, were plotting and scheming the obliteration of Roe. Killers of Roe is a great read and great education of exactly who laid the foundation of our crumbling reproductive house.

  15. Keep Your Yuck Off My Yum with Taja Lindley

    Episode 167

    Show notes

    Sound the alarms, because the buzzkillin’ is fresh! We’ve got a short and sweet episode for y’all this week,and lucky for you we managed to get a repro rockstar to rip apart the patriarchy with us!

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    Taja Lindley, the Executive Director of All-Options, is on the mic! She gabs with Lizz and Moji about reproductive justice and the amazing, much needed work of All-Options, one of the organizations proving that compassionate, patient-centered care is the bare minimum. All-Options is the counter to sketchy anti-abortion fake clinics, which THANK GODDESS, because those places are out of control. Taja spills the tea on the real options anti-abortion weirdos don't want you to know about, their Talkline and Faith Aloud programs, surviving Indiana's abortion ban, and why reproductive justice and Black liberation have always gone hand-in-hand.

  18. Abortion Pill II: Supreme Court Boogaloo With Solomon Georgio

    Episode 164

    Show notes

    The Supreme Court says abortion pills can still be mailed… FOR NOW! Which means Lizz and Moji have spent the last several days stress sweating through every twist, loophole, and terrifying little breadcrumb in this mifepristone decision. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito continue their quest to become the most divorced-from-reality men alive, and why anti-abortion extremists are still doing everything they can to drag abortion access back to the Stone Age using junk science, legal chaos, and the world’s crustiest ideology.

    AND because the universe refuses to let us rest for even one second, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is OUT. Depending on which weird little corner of the internet you ask, it’s either because he wouldn’t let kids rip bubblegum-flavored vape clouds in peace OR because anti-abortion lawmakers were furious he wasn’t moving fast enough to ban abortion pills nationwide. Honestly? In this timeline, both sound possible.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    The absolutely brilliant Solomon Georgio joins the Buzzkills this week, and trust us, we needed him. The comedian, TV writer, and professional destroyer of bad vibes talks with Lizz and Moji about dealing with hecklers, navigating MAGA comedy crowds, dating disasters, surviving America as a 6’4” Black queer immigrant, and somehow still remaining one of the funniest people alive while the country freefalls directly into the sun.

    The news is unhinged, the lawmakers are embarrassing, and the vibes are medically concerning, but knowledge is power, rage is fuel, and we gotchu.

  19. Shenanigans at the 5th Circus Court With RaeShandra Lias & Nikki Sapiro Vinckier

    Episode 163

    Show notes

    IT’S BEEN A WEEK!!! Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most by funneling money to FAKE clinics. So yeah, you’re gonna need an emotional support drink, spliff, snack, or whatever survival instincts you have left for this episode.

    GUEST ROLL CALL:

    We had to call in backup for this one! We are joined by Michigan-based OGBYN PA-C, Author, and Creator, Nikki Sapiro Vinckier – the ultimate reproductive health sherpa! Nikki is going to talk about her new book, “We Deserve More,” her latest citizen-led repro win in Michigan, and guide us through EVERYTHING that is happening to access to medication abortion right now. Can we still get pills? How do we get pills? What pills can we still get? Will Sam Alito give me pills? WE NEED ANSWERS, AND NIKKI IS DELIVERING!

    PLUS! THE ONE AND ONLY, RaeShanda Lias is here and queeeeer, babay! The absolutely fabulous Digital Creator & Diversity Advocate joins the Buzzkills to fill our joy cups back up by making us laugh, reminding us that Black queer love is indeed thriving, talking to us about clapping back online, her new podcast, and checking the board about RFK Jr. being absolute trash. You’re welcome.

    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
