June (or JUNlPER)

At the request of her harassers, Grok, Elon's generative AI toy, posted fake images of Ashley undressed in front of her children's school backpack.

She's in court trying to get such images banned.

And Ashley's also pivoted heavily in her politics, notably trying to make amends with the trans community, which we'll talk about at length today.

She wrote on Twitter last week.

Wait, actually, Ashley, do you want to read this?

Today, we'll interrogate all of this together.

I could not have imagined saying this one year ago, but welcome to the show, Ashley St.

Clair.

And to help us do this today, I'm also so excited to be joined by the one and only June, who you might know as Juniper or Onion Person or at Can't Ever Die or Pudding Person or any of the online names she's used to avoid Elon's continuous attempt to ban her from his website.

On her Wikipedia page, she is labeled as being known for...

Twitter shitposting, which is absolutely awesome.

But she is also the host of the Kill the Computer podcast and the Ill-Conceived podcast.

And she was the person that Ashley was writing to in that apology that Ashley just read to you.

June, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me.

I think first and foremost, before we get into anything, I think both of us have like a little bit of like preface questions for you, Ashley.

The right hates you because you're not transphobic anymore, and a lot of people on the left don't believe you.

Understandably.

Which, totally fair, yeah.

I think this episode is important to make because ultimately I want to believe that people can change.
