Election week came in swinging — and the Category is: Democrats came to collect! From major wins in New York, Virginia, and California to historic firsts across the map, we break down what these results mean for 2026. Plus, Kehlani’s first-ever Top 10 hit and a public romance that’s got the internet folded in half.

Then in Am I A Bad Queer?, we dig into some messy dating dilemmas — from the ongoing Court and Lex TikTok controversy to wondering if you’re just there for someone else’s benefit.

Plus: new Queer Urban Dictionary terms and some soft stud appreciation to top it off.

[The full episode is a Patreon Exclusive] We’re back with Heart Life Vol. 3: Summer of Unavailability - aka that season where everyone’s crushing, but no one is available.

Kris and Shana catch up on Shana's dating adventures, ghosters spinning the block, and therapy holding up a mirror we didn’t ask for. We talk play parties, expanding who we date, and the fine line between being open and just plain tired.

In Queer Urban Dictionary:
 Breadcrumbing — when someone gives just enough attention to keep you around, but never actually shows up.
Fusion — lesbian relationships where you blink and suddenly share a bank account.

It’s giving honest, tired, slightly messy - but we’re trying.

We've got company! This week we’re joined by Brandon Kyle Goodman — writer, actor, and the mind behind Heaux Church, Tell Me Something Messy, and Big Mouth’s own Walter the Lovebug!

We talk queer sex education, non-monogamy, writing, love, and what it means to find freedom in your “mess.” Brandon shares how being Black, queer, and nonbinary has shaped their relationship with intimacy and joy — and delivers one of the funniest Bad Queer Opinions yet.

Stay tuned for Queer Urban Dictionary (Frot + Bull Queer) and shoutouts to some incredible queer creators and spaces.

We’ve got company!! This week on Bad Queers, we get a little steamy and a lot educational with The Vagina Based Collective, lead by Feignix and Papi, known as “The Sinners” behind a movement that’s redefining shameless living, especially in the bedroom. 

We talk queer sex education, how intimacy evolves in long-term relationships, and what it really means to unlearn shame while exploring kink, toys, and identity. 

Plus, Kris teaches us about albutophilia (yes, bath time counts) and Shana breaks down trixic identity for our Queer Urban Dictionary. Stay for Bad Queer Opinions — where we talk flirting, fascism, and the myth of the gold star lesbian.

This week in Queer Urban Dictionary, Kris explains the gender-inclusive pronoun per, while Shana celebrates the “ace of hearts.” Then we’re joined by comedian, host, producer, and professional catfish Tribble (Ellis Ever After, Ask Tribble Inc.) 

We get into the wild world of queer relationships, accountability panels, and why women need to chill when it comes to “dabbling in the dark arts" (aka straight women in queer experiences). Plus, Tribble gives us the tea on what’s missing (and what’s overdone) in podcasting, their approach to dating, and the myth that only studs and white women get to be the “cool lesbians.” 

Of course, we wrap up with Bad Queer Opinions and shoutouts — from a NatGeo docuseries on Hurricane Katrina to safe queer spaces like As You Are DC, and parties by Queer Aunties + Club Cleo.

Shoutouts:

Kris: Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time - NatGeo docuseries series looks back at the lessons learned from the storm, and why we can't forget the tragic aspects that were man-made ahead of its 20th anniversary.

This week on Bad Queers, we've got company! Welcome Autumn Breon, multidisciplinary artist, abolitionist, and all-around visionary. Autumn uses performance, sculpture, and installation to explore Black queer feminist liberation, Diasporic memory, and the systems we’re ready to leave behind.

In this episode we discuss:
- Autumn’s journey from studying aeronautics at Stanford to becoming a queer Black feminist artist
- How Diasporic memory, history, and imagination shape her creative process
- Her performance piece Dignity Denied and what it means to use the body as an altar
- Why queerness is not a hall pass for misogyny (and other Bad Queer Opinions)

Plus: guilty pleasure crushes, Beyoncé queers being the best queers, and the rituals that fuel Autumn's art.

This week on Bad Queers, Kris teaches us “H&H” (high and horny) while Shana breaks down “homo fomo.” Then we’re joined by storyteller, filmmaker, and writer Amber J. Phillips known as Amber Abundance — aka your fave fat Black queer femme auntie from the Midwest. 

We catch up with Amber on everything from launching her Substack Toxic Femininity (yes, it’s giving Black femme scripture) to building Ample World. We get into Black queer femmes choosing desire instead of waiting to be chosen, why “straight-passing” is a trash term, and what it takes to silence the fed in your head. 

Plus: breakup dates are not closure, successful u-haulers are the exception not the rule, studs deserve a little more shade, and Amber has one very real Bad Queer Opinion about Ellie blocking our view of the tall WNBA girlies. 

As always, we close with shoutouts — including Tracee Ellis Ross’ new travel show, the Youth Trans Emergency Project, and love to everyone at Black Star Film Fest.

Shoutouts: 

Kris: Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross - Tracee’s new travel show on Roku Channel. She invites audiences to join her solo trips to Morocco, Mexico, and Spain. Just renewed for a second season, go check out season 1 on the roku channel Follow Tracee on IG: @traceeellisross
