Episode Split! You will want to listen to the Pre-Lewd first! Imagine… the ghost of Karl Marx trapped inside the body of blow-up doll. Well, that pretty much describes this bimbo leftist.A sassy-mouthed, fierce creature who is equal parts showgirl, rabble rouser, and opinionated arsehole. Renowned for acts of tongue in cheek social commentary and political satire, their opinions are loud as their hair and wit as sharp as their eyeliner. A they/them ready to cause mayhem, it's Moisty Magic!
