BDE (Big Dyke Energy)

It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you... without a dope pod to enjoy. Missy Misdemeanor references aside, we mean to keep showing up for you. But, how to show up as if nothing has changed when everything has changed? How to reconcile the healing self with the self in the burning room? 

With the passing of our depressive episodes and the turning of the wheel into Aries season, we invite you to join us as we grapple with the disparity of creating art in such a destructive time. To inspire us and lead us into this terribly beautiful terrain--we look to none other than Aries Supreme Tracy Chapman, whose brief (but mighty) return to public consciousness is the sign we've all been waiting for.

Are there ga(y)mes? Certainly play is a part of it? Are there gripes? What's a dyke without one? Are you ready? Then listen up!

Deep in Virgo season, Rose and Gala reappear to reap the seeds that Venus Rx and Mercury Rx have sown. What's on the table this harvest season? A medley of astrology roots. We're talking sisters and we don't mean beans and corn. What do Capricorn and a Cancer have in common? What's Leo got that Aquarius hasn't got? How likely is it to find an Aries and a Libra chilling in the same room? What is the sign of soup?

Gather round as we stir the pot and add a dash of creative chaos. Did you think a Virgo season episodes would be tidy and tight? Mutables like Virgos contain multitudes, my dudes. Here, along theVirgo/ Pisces axis, we know that love of the process is a profound and sacred love. Do we talk about pets and illness? 6th house says YES. Do we play an absurd lesbionic survival game with hypothetical scenarios? Who would we be if we didn't?

There’s a good chance that if you were a dyke in the early aughts, then a Tegan and Sara song has the power to open up a deep well of nostalgia and possibly even regret in you. In this month’s episode, Rose and Gala harness that power for their own purposes, roping you into a Tegan and Sara retrospective chord by opening chord. Listen in your living room as we debate which hit songs belong to which signs. Let us get back in your head with an accompanying Spotify playlist :) …Celebrate the first true representation of soft butches wearing thermals under band shirts in High School (tv show based on Tegan & Sara’s teen years co-created by Clea DuVall). If those two topics don’t satiate you, enjoy a clever meal of dyketastic comparisons in the form of a game we’re calling “Sisters or ‘Sisters’.”

Listen along to our picks for each sign here :)
