  • Summary

  • Stoner Story Witch weaves together healing from the colonial mind, liberation and embodied social justice, & the responsibility of white wealth, through an animistic worldview, attachment focus, and collapse-aware lens. Former evangelical Christian→ atheist skeptical Science teacher → Stoner Story Witch explores popular stories to illuminate the trail of breadcrumbs hiding in plain sight once we stop consuming stories as“content” and instead communing with stories as “cracks in the walls” of imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchy- inviting us to liberation.

    🌖♍️Ep16: “Squid Game” & Satisfiability w/ Kevin
    Jan 17 2025

    (This episode contains spoilers for seasons 1 and 2 of Squid Game)


    How can I connect and hold space for someone who is moved by a story that I refuse to watch? How does capitalism thrive in binary/hierarchical thinking: good vs bad, guilt vs innocence, us vs. them? Is consent and free will even possible in capitalism? In what ways is Squid Game a metaphor for reality shows like Love Island? How can a practice of satisfiability and finding your “enough” disrupt the insatiable momentum of capitalism? How can we create the world we prefer while also fighting against unjust systems?


    This episode flips roles as Kevin sits Kristyn down to give a synopsis of Season 1 and Season 2 of Squid Game. Then together they riff on how the puritanical obsession with innocence and perfection has kept us immobilized from just doing less harm and feeling more satiation in unjust systems of exploitation and “never enough.”

How can stories help us overcome our fear response and reach for things we deeply yearn for?

    (This season contains spoilers for the show “Severance”- season 1 aired in 2022 on Apple) What are all the ways that we sever from parts of ourselves? How does public school utilize the tools of “the break room” to foster compliance rather than embody liberation? How was Helly’s embodied elitism a catalyst for her Innie to revolt? How does Burt living out his “1st edition” beliefs radicalize Irv into queering his “ramrod straight” self? What does it take for Dylan to discover that the fingertraps of capitalism are insufficient and isolating?
