Kori is joined again by Alejandra and Dayana for part two of a two-part series retrospective. In this episode, we’re looking at the series as a whole both flaws and strengths, and what cultural impact Supergirl had in both the comics medium and live-action portrayals of superheroines.

That's right, we're talking about Supergirl again on Ladies First! Kori is joined by Alejandra and Dayana for part one of a two-part series retrospective.

Today on Ladies First; Kori and our Taylor consider Taylor Swift's cultural power and influence over the past decade. We argue that Taylor Swift was the first true Millennial "Diva" Icon (in the good way), even before Lady Gaga, and whose artistry and support has empowered queer millennials for just as long. Swift's career is a fascinating case study of the changing public perceptions of powerful women and acceptable misogyny.

Today Taylor talks to long-time cartoonist Signe Wilkinson about depicting a controversial topic like abortion and about being a female cartoonist in general. A Pulitzer-Prize-winner, Wilkinson has captured the idiosyncrasies, absurdities, and the bigotry — particularly the misogyny — that has shaped American politics for decades. Wilkinson is also an advocate for free speech.

AKA Ladies First Discusses Healthy Internet Interactions Kori and Taylor discuss how a perfect storm of real-world situations has lead to an increase of poor internet hygiene, ending in the stage of "terminally online". They discuss how the capitalist-fueled social media companies retain your engagement through algorithms and outrage, the binarist moralizing this can lead to, and why it's so important to make time to disconnect and take a break from online spaces.
