Thoughts on Sobriety, Childhood Trauma, and ADHD

Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

Hello! I'm back, did you miss me??? I decided to sit down today and knock out a casual chat style episode to break my silent streak. This is sort of a prelude to the healing series as I talk about a lot of thoughts and feelings that have come up for me over the last year or so while healing, trying to understand myself better, and going on a sober journey.

Send us a text In this timely episode, Nix dives into the world of celebrity endorsements and their influence, or lack thereof, on U.S. presidential elections by comparing and contrasting Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris vs Chappell Roan's refusal to endorse anyone, the public response to each, and my thoughts about it all. I also discuss: The influence of celebrity endorsements on presidential elections, Issues with political discourse surrounding high-profile endorsements, What celebrities "owe" us when it comes to their platforms, And the overall harm of the internet's fixation on celebrity endorsements. Additionally, I address the recent execution of Marcellus Williams and the upcoming execution of Robert Roberson.

URGENT Call to Action + Moving Past the 'Harris or Trump' Ultimatum 1:17:53

Send us a text PLEASE HELP MARCELLUS WILLIAMS: savemarcellus.org . He will be executed on Sept. 24th, 2024 if we can't convince Gov. Parson of Missouri to stop it. Please call, email, post, and share. In the main episode, Nic talks about the current presidential election and how Democrats are playing chicken with voters, attempting to win over Republicans while neglecting their progressive base. Despite these dangerous and offensive tactics, the anyone who attempts to critique Harris or demand better before committing their vote is screamed at and told, "Enjoy four more years of Trump, then!" This episode explores the dangers of this one-sided electoral strategy and critiques the loud calls to "vote blue," which often ignore the complexities of voter concerns and facilitate the Democratic Party's pulling the nation further to the right as they YET AGAIN run on a campaign of, "Vote for me because I'm not him." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

So, I am reposting the episode* I did with activist Jacob Z back in 2021 with an epilogue update, which starts at 1:16:30, to give an update on the situation and calls to action and additional resources for those who want to help. To participate in the Feb 25, 2024 book club for The Hundred Years' War on Palestine , join the Discord server here . *The reposted portion has been edited down a bit (mostly to remove my meanderings) but you can still hear the original audio here . Calls to Action Attend demonstrations. Contact (email) representatives. If in a union, have union endorse ceasefire. Engage in disruptive action (blocking arms shipments, etc.). Boycott businesses that support Israel. Join a solidarity organization. Never vote for Israel-supporting politicians. Never stop talking about how fucked up this is.

I'm a Barbie Grrrl: My Exhaustion Over Leftist Barbie Discourse + Updates!!! 1:00:09

2 years ago1:00:09

1:00:09

Send us a text Hi Barbie! 👋 Whew, the Barbie movie really caused a stir on all sides of the political spectrum, didn't it! The right is losing their minds over this cornucopia of "toxic femininity" while the left (leftist women, specifically) can't seem to tear it apart fast enough for not being a radical feminist manifesto that will topple the patriarchy. Many of us, who enjoyed the film as a campy, queer, femme summer romp are tired. So tired. We just wanted to have fun and celebrate this cultural moment. So today, I go on a partially unhinged rant (that was , in my defense, actually asked for) to talk about my feelings around the Barbie Discourse (TM), what the movie meant to me, and at not one but TWO points I shed my own real human tears about it. Link to TikTok Where Dad Reviews Barbie : I think my dad really liked Barbie #barbie #barbiemovie #moviereview #... | barbie movie review | TikTok Before all that, I give some MAJOR life updates and talk about what's up next for Pynk Spots, which is the release (finally!) of my healing journey series - a project that bloomed from one focused episode to what will now be a series of at least nine. I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm ready to go on this journey with all of you and can't wait to share what's next! 🖤 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, daddy!

How I'm Attempting to Not Feel Like Shit About Myself in 2023 2:10:46

2 years ago2:10:46

2:10:46

Send us a text Today is an unscripted ramble about my 2023 thoughts with the overall theme of Not Feeling Like Shit Anymore. The overarching approach is an attempt to accept my brain as it is, to work with it rather than be mad at it, and to embrace the slow approach to things. I've been having horrid work anxiety, struggling to accept my natural ebbs and flows of productivity, and agonizing over what to do for my future, particularly how do I make my goals align with what I want my life to look like. I've had a ton of fruitful conversations with friends about it all and have a lot of thoughts (though no answers!) about it all that I think will resonate with other folks. I'd love to hear how you process all of this, if you resonate with anything I'm going through, and what your plans are for 2023! Happy (Belated 🙃) New Year!

How to Explain a Gap in Employment 48:14

Send us a text Hi babes! I have an amazing question from Hilda today about how to explain a gap in employment from taking time off to just chill and not be crushed under capitalism for a cotdamn minute! As we all know, employers don't typically like hearing that you are an autonomous being who doesn't like working, so how do we explain time that we needed to take in between jobs to rest, heal, and/or relax? Pulling from my own experience and also my knowledge as someone who has worked closely with hiring managers and HR people, I give my best tips for interviewing for new jobs with a gap in employment, whether that gap is short or long, and whether you are old (like me! ;P) or young! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pay me, Daddy!

Send us a text Mommy's back! After my summer vaycay, I'm here to give some health updates, decisions about the show, and then talk about the main topic which is how to handle receiving help without feeling like a piece of poopie. Under capitalism we're taught that needing help is a weakness, a failure, a burden. But when you give help to someone else, it really sucks when they feel that way, right? So I speak today from my own experiences of both receiving and giving help, plus from conversations with friends, of how I approach help now and how I'd love for the people I help to process that outreach. Lastly, I have a call for mutual aid for my sister, looking for financial donations but moreso for professional connections and support, and for social media promotion. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Support Gina!

Health Updates & Autistic Rants: SIBO, REM Sleep, and a Lack of Specialized Care 1:10:47

Send us a text Note from Nic: This episode was done on Tuesday but when I went to upload my data plan was 10 minutes short so I waited until today to upload in order to not get charged. This conflicts with some things I say in the episode about what day this is coming out so wanted to clear up any potential confusion around that. Also, episodes will be posted on Thursdays now! -------------------- This week I take a break from advice to share some updates about my "healing journey" (barf) and share information I've learned about what my root cause health issue might be as well as information I've found out about the particularities around autism, digestion, and sleep. Relatedly, I also go on a rant or two about my continued frustrations at how autistic people are treated with the same protocols as neurotypicals, and how it is impossible to find medical professionals who understand and/or specialize in working with autistic adults. I'm low on questions so if you have one, now would be a great time to ask!
