A proposito di questo titolo

 Welcome to The Scarlet Frequency — the sonic pulse of The Red Tent Collective. Here, we speak in spells and syllables, through poems that breathe and essays that burn. Each episode is a reclamation: voiced articles that vibrate with truth, recordings from live conversations on X Spaces, and dialogues with thinkers who refuse the silence. This is not another algorithm-fed podcast. It’s a listening ritual. A gathering for women who crave depth over dopamine, and who know that liberation begins with language — raw, embodied, and unfiltered.The Red Tent Collective Scienze sociali

    N.A.A. from the Archives: Heather Mason & Amie Ichikawa on Keeping Prisons Single Sex #KPSS
    Jan 19 2026
    This archival episode of North American Angst opens a door most people never look behind.Peeja & Carol, hosts of N.A.A., bring together women who have lived the reality of incarceration and emerged determined to speak. Heather Mason and Amy Ichikawa, both formerly imprisoned, recount what happens inside women’s prisons when policy abandons biological reality. Their testimony moves from Canada to the United States, tracing how institutional language has been used to justify the placement of male offenders into female facilities, often without consent, warning, or recourse for the women already there.What makes this episode devastating is not theory but specificity. Mothers describe fear inside mother and child units. Women recount locking themselves in rooms to avoid harassment or assault. Guards are disciplined for objecting to strip searches of male inmates. Complaints vanish. Charges are not laid. Survival becomes a strategy of silence. The system functions not because it protects women, but because it exhausts them.This episode stands as documentation. It preserves voices that institutions prefer remain unheard. And it makes one thing unmistakably clear: when truth is buried, women are expected to absorb the cost.Heather Mason speaks with the clarity of someone who has seen the machinery from the inside. Formerly incarcerated at Grand Valley Institution for Women, she has since become one of the most consistent advocates for sex-segregated prisons in Canada. Her work includes organizing nationwide protests, documenting institutional failures, and giving voice to women who cannot safely speak for themselves. She understands not only the policy language, but how it plays out on the ground, day after day, inside prison walls.Amy Ichikawa brings a parallel authority shaped by five years in a California state prison and subsequent advocacy in the United States. Her work began when women inside reached out in fear as new policies took effect. She now acts as a point of contact, connector, and defender for incarcerated women navigating assaults, retaliation, and bureaucratic stonewalling. Her involvement in documentary work with the Independent Women’s Forum has helped surface stories that would otherwise remain hidden.Together, Heather and Amy offer something rare: cross-border clarity. Their accounts differ in jurisdiction but align in outcome. When women’s safety is treated as negotiable, harm follows predictably.Nothing in this episode asks for outrage alone.It asks for responsibility.These women cannot protest. They cannot speak freely. They cannot risk being labeled difficult, hateful, or non-compliant. That burden falls to those on the outside.Take the next step:Follow Heather on XFollow caWsbar on XHistory in the Making: Follow caWsbar's Charter ChallengeFollow Amie Ichikawa on XVisit Women II WomenSupport Women II Women's sponsorship of SB 311The tent remains open.The fire does not go out.Truth survives because women carry it.Sign up to The Quill and get the latest from The Red Tent Collective.Have tech skills?

  • N.A.A. from the Archives: Lisa Bildy on Justice, Gender and Speech in Canada

    N.A.A. from the Archives: Lisa Bildy on Justice, Gender and Speech in Canada
    Jan 7 2026
    This episode is a reckoning.In a raw, unflinching conversation, the ladies of North American Angst sit down with Lisa Bildy, a Canadian constitutional lawyer and Executive Director of the Free Speech Union Canada, to confront the slow erosion of free expression across professional life in Canada. What begins as her personal story — a trial lawyer turned homeschooling mother turned reluctant dissident — unfolds into a chilling map of how ideological enforcement has crept into law societies, professional regulators, universities, healthcare, education, and beyond.Lisa walks us through the landmark battles she’s fought: from helping dismantle compelled DEI oaths within the legal profession, to defending nurse and women’s rights advocate Amy Hamm against a 22-day tribunal for gender-critical speech expressed entirely outside her workplace. Again and again, we hear the same pattern: regulators asserting authority over private speech, conscience, and belief — backed by human rights frameworks that now punish dissent rather than protect liberty.This episode is not despair — it’s a warning and a call to arms. A reminder that history moves in cycles, that silence is never neutral, and that freedom only survives when ordinary people are willing to stand visibly, imperfectly, and together.Lisa is not a commentator. She is a front-line defender.She has:Successfully helped dismantle compelled ideological pledges within Canada’s legal professionDefended professionals targeted by regulators for lawful, off-duty speechFought precedent-setting cases involving gender-critical beliefs, free expression, and conscience rightsHelped launch Free Speech Union Canada, part of an international network pushing back against global speech suppressionHer authority comes not from theory, but from consequence. She knows what it costs — professionally, socially, emotionally — to refuse ideological compliance. And she shows up anyway.When Lisa says, “The debate didn’t end — it never began,” she isn’t speculating. She’s describing the machinery she’s seen from the inside.This episode makes one thing unmistakably clear:Freedom does not disappear overnight.It disappears case by case, silence by silence, professional by professional.Follow and connect with Lisa on X — support the work of Free Speech Union Canada and those defending civil liberties on the ground.Follow caWsbar's Charter Challenge⁠ — the biggest case on the books in Canada.

  • From Willow to Whisper — A Life Rewoven with Hazel Moon Audio

    From Willow to Whisper — A Life Rewoven with Hazel Moon Audio
    Dec 5 2025

    On this Red Tent Storyteller episode, we sit down with willow-weaver, grief-walker, and audio alchemist Hazel Moon Audio to trace the winding path from London suburbs to wild Hebridean shores — and from women’s refuge work to bringing other women’s stories to life in her own voice. Hazel shares how a girl who “didn’t fit” in a sporty family grew into a woman who chose books, music, radical feminism, and eventually a law conversion course and Women’s Aid work… only to walk away from the city and start again on a remote island where she had to learn to cut peat, build stone walls, grow food, and talk to neighbours instead of avoiding eye contact on the street.

    From there, we follow her into the craft: the moment a friend dragged her to a basketry course, the older woman with arthritis who handed her the torch and said, “Of course you’re good enough to teach,” and the years of planting willow, making baskets, and slowly becoming the village basketmaker. Hazel speaks honestly about the years of caregiving for her partner Carly, and the way grief stripped all the colour out of the world — even the beauty of the island — and how reading aloud to Carly at night became the quiet, unseen apprenticeship for what would come next.

    That “next” was Hazel Moon Audio: an unexpected nudge in a Dyke Voices Twitter space, months of learning ACX, microphones, mastering, and the sheer stamina of narrating whole lives into a microphone. Hazel walks us through the practical and emotional labour of audiobook narration — from auditioning for projects like Ray, The Well of Loneliness, The Candlemaker’s Woman, and feminist titles like Girls Matter and The Grumpy Guide to Radical Feminism — to setting boundaries around what she will and won’t read, mentoring other women who want to try it, and refusing to let AI erase the human warmth and history in a woman’s voice. This is an episode about craft, courage, and starting a new life chapter when the world has already taken more than its share.Hazel Moon is not just “a nice voice.” She’s a woman who has lived several lives and stitches them all into the way she tells a story.

    Hazel’s authority doesn’t come from industry hype — it comes from lived experience, craftsmanship, political clarity, and a voice that has literally read women to sleep and back into life.If you want more conversations like this — women telling the whole truth about their lives, work, grief, and craft — follow us on X and join Ember for free, The Red Tent Collective’s flame of ongoing broadcasts.Follow Hazel Moon Audio on X
