## Resource

On this episode of Vibe Check, Zach is joined by special guest host Fran Tirado, editor and co-host of the podcast, Like a Virgin. Together, they discuss how AI slop is slowly turning into “taste slop,” and how Pride can become more than just a moment to fight for trans people, but a way to materially support them and help them survive this moment. Plus, they share their latest picks for “the vibes are on” and “the vibes are off.” ------------------------------------------------------ Fran’s Podcast, Like A Virgin: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/like-a-virgin/id1592166548 Fran’s Fundraiser: DollInvasion.org
