CW: Sexual assault, religious abuse, mentions of Mars Hill and other harmful churches, general trauma

We grabbed coffee (but not really cause it was hot af) with a pastor and it wasn't traumatizing! This week we had the opportunity to interview a local pastor, Donna Burkland, who is a queer disabled woman co-pastor from a new church plant in the Red Curtain of Orange County, California. Donna is a survivor of religious abuse and is an amazing advocate for individuals to deconstruct and decolonize their faith. Her church, Safe Harbor Orange County, exists as a place for individuals to rest, restore, belong and become within the safety of community. So come listen to her story and expect the general ridiculousness from your three favorite queer parents.

CW: spiritual abuse, cult, mentions of death, manipulation, mentions of sexual abuse, mentions of sexual abuse and sexualization of minors, mentions of grooming of minors

We are so incredibly thankful for smut fiction author and Tiktoker, Molly Tullis, for sharing her story with us. Molly is a pastor's kid of a former pastor of the Bethel Redding (think Bethel Music, Jesus Culture, etc.) cult. Molly experienced some deep trauma as a result of her cult upbringing but is now a writer of smut fiction, which seems to be a reclaiming of her purity culture upbringing. Molly is truly wonderful and her books are amazing!

So if you enjoy fiction, especially spicy fiction, buy her Romanov Oracle and Asphodel Series books!

Additional sections include talking about SCOTUS sucking ass and our new segment, Petty Silly Songs with Gabe.

To connect with Molly outside of her books, you can find her on Instagram and TikTok

CW// misogyny, abortion, racism, trauma, religion, politics, sexuality, sexual assault, purity culture

This week we were so happy to have our special guest, Jo Luehmann join us to talk through her journey, decolonization, antiracism, neuroscience, and how to make conservatives angry. She is so much smarter than us and we are more than okay with that.

In our news segment, we talk about Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court's leaked draft. Bonnie shares a run-in with Kenneth. And lastly, Jake makes a statement about the state of all things. And it was disturbing but funny.
