3415: Drive w/ Zahra Noorbakhsh

[mxmalloryjane]

Zahra is my new favorite person. Jokes jokes jokes! so many jokes that were so smart and quick and subtle and serious and hilarious all at once. Sounded like a dream of a person to talk to. More of her please!

Thank god, A comedian! She was so funny. Great show. This might be a double listen. What a goddamn delight. She clearly read the assignment.

My mother country would be Poland I guess, and I would 100% not want to live there.
The church has way more power there, homophobia is huge there, no thanks.

I started to listen to the show.
At first there was the better help and after it the cereal ad.
I was brushing my teeth and somehow thought we were still at better help ( its 6 em here am just waking up).
When Keith said: 100% happiness guaranteed I was very impressed.
Wow, thats a bold statement!
My therapist should step it up I guess!

My mother country is Poland too and I wouldn’t want to go back either. Between the lack of access to reproductive care and the rampant homophobia and the religious zealotry and poor separation of church and state matters… NO THANKS.

When I see my former class mates on Facebook they seem more like my parents. No. They seem less open minded than my parents. And less cool. (!!! My parents are not especially cool)
Germany seems like a liberal paradise compared to Poland.

I said goodbye to the church and my parents only said:
Ok, you must know what you are doing. And didn’t even bring it up that I didn’t baptize the kids.
My father admires it secretly.
They never tried to guilt me back to the church. That’s a big, big plus. They even say that they only stay in because they somehow got used to it.

Mother countries: Sweden or Norway. I looked at going there after my father died it seemed like a time to take a risk then a year later we are in the middle of a fucking pandemic so... I don't know. Maybe if a Trump becomes president again or some other equally crazy shit goes down.

My father-in-law baptized our son in his home, he didn't ask. I don't care though if it makes him feel better after making my son's head wet, whatever. It affects us zero.
