32 Päntsdrunk

Well, we're all living through a pretty dark time line, so this week we're talking self-care strategies. Specifically, Alicia introduces the concept of "päntsdrunk," the Finnish art of unwinding alone with a drink in your underwear while doing something you enjoy (that's not Facebook or Twitter). Stacie talks about the fabulous escapism N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy and the sci-fi deliciousness of author Becky Chambers. They are both fantastic ways to pull your eyes to to better horizons. We also extol several benefits of getting päntsdrunk and embracing the joy of being a homebody. Take care of yourselves, you beautiful lushes. We're all in this together, and we'll through it that way, too. Stuff we talk about: NBC's article " Embracing Päntsdrunk, The Finnish Way of Drinking Alone in Your Underwear " Books: " Päntsdrunk: Kalsarikanni: The Finnish Path to Relaxation " by Miska Rantanen N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Earth Trilogy Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet Podcasts: Pantsuit Politics
