We had a few loose but important threads this week to pluck and ponder that were all united along the theme of context; something that we're often told doesn't matter by rigid SJW scripts or, conversely, is exploited by oppressors out to avoid criticism.

Talking about the themes brought up in Hannah Gadsby's Netflix stand-up comedy special, Nanette, around an audiences entitlement to creative content, comedy, the creative process, our capitalist approach to art, and so much more.
