This is what happens when you’re willing to risk it all over ending pronouns and Black history. Hope those cultural wars pay the bills.

We didn't get to make a Christmas episode this year due to me switching jobs, but this episode about international Christmas folklore with Benito Cereno is worth revisiting, as are the other episodes in this thread.
A much broader survey of international Christmas lore for those just getting into the idea of something beyond Frosty

We just wrapped up a last-minute emergency pod with @billieiswriting.bsky.social and @paulhoard.bsky.social, discussing the election, how we're feeling, what's going to happen, disgust theology as it pertains to queerness, and the need for all of us to take care of each other. Look for it tomorrow.
