This book by Rena Sapon-White and Ella Schaefer gave us all the cozy Hallmark Christmas feels, so you might want a peppermint mocha for this one. In this episode, we talk public perception of high-profile people vs. the individual identity, failures in communication, and what makes a good character worth rooting for (“likable” or not!).
Thank you for being in community with us this year, we appreciate you all more than you know. If you want to gift us this Christmas, please leave us a nice review and download and share our podcast.

Crawling out of our skin after watching a really unfortunate attempt at a Dana x Jenny hookup, Haylie and Lauren dish about the clandestine affairs of this episode, run our own hypotheticals, and weigh the ethics of Bette's choice to hand over the explicit film to expose Fae Buckley.
Please leave us a review and download, it really helps us out! We love hearing from you, reach out to us here with the text function, or via Instagram, TikTok or email. See you next time for The Christmas Pic!

Well... Jen Lyon has done it again. In this episode we walk through the newest novel by Senator's Wife author Jen and talk about the characters Kam and Dillon who we have fallen so in love with. Listen in to hear us name our ideal film cast and sob over the tragic ending that broke our hearts.
TW: suicide, suicidal ideation, SA. Take care of yourselves!

After seeing a clip of Wicked star Ariana Grande saying her favorite film is Jamie Babbit's But I'm A Cheerleader and being confused by the excitement of lesbians everywhere, Haylie knew it was time to see what the fuss was for herself. Lauren gleefully obliged, and here you have the conversation that followed. We were thrilled by the abundance of camp, shocked at how young and innocent the non-lesbian lesbian icon Natasha Lyonne was in 1999, and of course had to discuss the commentary peeking through the unseriousness of this film.
Please leave us a review and download, it really helps us out! Our next book will be The Unfinished Line by The Senator's Wife author Jen Lyon, so start reading so you can join us in conversation.

Technical difficulties galore but Haylie came through as the reliable Taurus she is when Lauren ran into more mercury retrograde than she could handle this week.
Anyway, please enjoy this Lauren's disappointment that Haylie didn't know who Rosanna Arquette and Haylie's beautiful nuanced conversation about Bette and Tina's storyline.

In the wake of the United States election, we want to use this episode as a space to have conversation with you and each other. Lauren processes her fear and anger, while Haylie gets vulnerable about the betrayal she and many others are feeling. On the other side of the coin, on Haylie's mind has also been community, mutual aid and joy, which she brings to the discussion today. Our call to action for you today: participate in your community, check on your people, and share your joy.
At the end of the episode, Lauren shares the poem Etiquette Leash by beloved Andrea Gibson. You can read it here.

It’s Election Day in the United States, and as we await results with bated breath we invite you to listen to our timely conversation with Margaret Vandenburg, author of Craze. We hear from her about Henri’s story and how the centennial of the Queer Craze and crackdown inspired her to write this cautionary tale. She speaks to us about being willing and ready to stand up for ourselves as a community, and how fun, joy, and desire not only define who we are, but are acts of rebellion.
Lauren promised to link her favorite spoken word she was referencing in this week's episode. However Lauren did get the quote and the author wrong. The spoken word poet she was thinking of was Valerie Kaur while the poem she was referring to was Etiquette by Andrea Gibson. Both are linked below.
Valerie Kaur's @ Watch Night 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCenwgheIBs

Truly, we cannot emphasize enough how stunning this book by Margaret Vandenburg is. This episode, we talk the Queer Craze of the American 1920s in NYC, underground speakeasies, and the balancing act of queer people walking between heteronormative day life and queer culture. We discuss how growing up with shame impacts the development of queer adults, and delicate family dynamics. Artists and visionaries populate our world this episode, and we invite you to join.

This week, our hosts have an allergic reaction to new character Annette, who makes Haylie like Jenny in comparison. Dana's apparently closeted mother rejects her when she comes out, Bette and Tina face harsh truths, and Haylie gives a lesson on hygiene and shame. Let's go!
Please download, share, and leave us a review! Read CRAZE by Margaret Vandenburg for our next episode, and reach out to us through DMs or text with the link above if you so please. Thanks for listening!

Our next book is CRAZE by Margaret Vandenburg, and as Haylie was reading she couldn't help but look up the many characters who are REAL historical figures. So, this episode is full of information on these queer icons of the 1920s and 30s, so that you can have an enriched reading experience! Let's get CRAZy!

We hope you are as obsessed with this book as Haylie is, because she wants companionship embarking on the painful journey of waiting for Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner (they/them) to become a series. Listen in as we talk about egregious miscommunications, smut, and the extremely Taurus way of keeping your living space as a temple - just like Grace Henderson. Also, if you've been dying to find out what Lauren's type is, this is the episode for you.

*TRIGGER WARNING* - This book contains subject material of sexual violence, rape, homophobia, transphobia, gender dysphoria, and police violence. Please take care of yourselves and make a decision that is healthy for you before listening to this episode.
In this episode, we discuss the life-changing Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg. Jess's story of not fitting into the gender binary during the 1960s and early 1970s in the United States left us profoundly impacted by the truth that was so clearly present. We talk about community, organizing, identity, and hope in this episode, and want to leave you with a call to action: go do something to help your community.
In honor of Leslie, we would like to provide you with these links to donate if you have the resources:
