Don’t let the title fool you. While, yes, this episode touches on thirst traps, it’s so much more than that.

In this episode, a trip down memory lane got me to pull up an old spoken word poetry piece, "Dear John", which I performed in 2017 for a poetry slam event titled "Bàgik ti Bagík."

It’s time to get real about motherhood… well, the personal decision of not wanting to be the one, that is. And how navigating the dating world with that personal choice is not the easiest thing in the world.

In one of a few bonus episodes of the second season of the podcast, I release recordings of me reading/performing spoken word poetry pieces I performed back in the days of open mic poetry readings at Mt. Cloud Bookshop in Baguio City. These poems are part of my feminist formation and I hope you find joy in listening to them.

This piece, Aorta Material, is immensely inspired by a Katrina Stuart Santiago essay of the same title. You can read it in her book "Of Love and Other Lemons."

I wrote this when I was in my mid-20s and has been revised several times, retrofitted to whatever I was going through with my love life. Now, at 30, I guess I can say that the last portion of the poem finally rings true.

Let’s switch gears for this episode and talk not necessarily about feminism itself or get too political. In this episode, I give the Feminists in Progress an update on what I’ve been up to during the hiatus and why, sometimes, while the metaphorical ladders we climb matter the building that ladder is propped against matters just as much.
