False Memories and The Mandela Effect.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 04:20:00 -0400

Violet takes a dump!

Did you know, this episode of Infodumpies died before being released from prison in 1991? PSYCH- you've been Mandela AFFECTED.

Violet talks about all the ways our memory can be fucked with, the weird stuff psychologists have found with human memory, the Mandela Effect- and how autistic brains are less likely to fall prey to false memories.

There's also a quiz portion, and Brianne, quite frankly- kicks ass. Maybe the study about autistic memory was right?

Solo Dump: Using a Planner as an AuDHDer

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:20:00 -0400

It's a solo dump!

Brianne talks about how planners can be helpful for AuDHDers- but not the way neurotypicals may use them. She talks about prioritization, schedule redundancies, "Spheres of Responsibility", setting aside admin time, making sure you have time for things you want to do, and figuring out tasks that you repeatedly skip completing.

She also discusses how shame, and autistic "black and white thinking", can affect how we perceive planners and to-do lists, and some mental reframes to work around that.

Did you know that there's a mushroom that makes 96% of those who eat it undercooked, have hallucinations of tiny people?

Food and The Far Right

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 05:20:00 -0400

Brianne Takes a Dump!

Brianne didn't realize this episode would be coming out on Christmas, but maybe this will help you be a menace at Christmas dinner.

Food is political! Everything we do is political! It is that deep! Brianne dives into characteristics of the far right that leads them to demonize certain foods, and to ostentatiously consume others.

Brianne talks about use of spices as a means of class delineation, the "carnivore diet", raw milk, seed oil fear mongering, and misinformation about soy.

We look at each of these right wing takes on food through the dimensions of disposition that make up right-wing ideology.

Violet takes a dump!

Do you like making music? Are you good at coding? Can you do both under the watchful eyes of a crowd full of people? Then algorave music might be for you!

She also plays around with making her own algorave tunes, and plays us a sample of her first attempt!

Solo Dump: Executive Function Skills

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 05:20:00 -0400

Brianne takes a solo dump!

Did you know that the term "executive function" actually includes 12 separate skills? Did you know that not everyone is good enough at all of these to manage everything on their own, and that's a capitalist lie you're being sold?

In this episode, Brianne discusses the 12 skills that make up the concept of "executive function," and discusses ways you can either improve your ability in these areas, or accommodate for yourself on things that disability means you simply can't improve.

It's Mini Dumps!

Brianne dumps about Point Nemo- the most inaccessible point in the South Pacific. She also dumps about Lake Baikal- the 25 million year old Siberian lake, that a very small and precious seal calls home.

Violet talks about a special confluence of events and people's lives, that *COULD* have happened in 1865. (if Violet had her way) She also discusses piezoelectricity- which sounds like magic, but it's not. Can squeezing rocks generate electricity? It can! (under very exact circumstances)

She covers the history of the Puerto Rican flag, and why Puerto Ricans love to put that flag on EVERYTHING. She also goes on an unplanned tangent about why she hates Lin Manuel Miranda.

Gay Fanfic Saved Star Trek

Sun, 25 May 2025 03:20:00 -0400

Brianne Takes a Dump!

Okay, so the title is reductive- but Brianne gives evidence to support this hypothesis. Brianne dumps about how Star Trek birthed the genre of slash fic, early fandom video edits, the first conventions, and the old school ways you'd get your fanfic by mail. Brianne discusses the role that fanfic and zines played in keeping the trekkie community thriving- in a time when the show had been off air for years, and the internet didn't exist. Brianne talks about why experts think women are responsible for most of the Kirk/Spock fanfic, and how Star Trek became the blueprint for media fandom.

Mini Dumps: Pickles the Dog, Polygamy, Courage the Cowardly Dog

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Mini Dumps!

This is a weird one. Violet had 2 dogs she wanted to talk about, and Brianne has a meandering (yet worthwhile), medium sized dump about polygamy. We don't have an episode format called "medium dump" (yet), so here polygamy topic is sandwiched between two dogs. The first dog, Pickles, is a British hero and BASICALLY a private eye.

Brianne talks about polygamy present in part of her heritage, and tries to find a civilization that lives the same, bisexual love fest she lives every day, as a polyamorous lady. Finally, we talk about the little pink guy from Nowhere, Kansas- Courage the Cowardly Dog.

This sounds like it would have been a Brianne epiosde, huh? We tricked you. Violet goofed you. She's the linguist now.

It's an entire universe of interconnected televisions shows, born out of a single scene of a non-speaking autistic child.

Brianne talks about the universe born out of the final scene of the 80's medical drama, St. Eslewhere. She talks about how a single episode of The X-Files doubled the size of this universe, with an episode about cigarettes.
