Some ideas, passages, and ramblings from Heaven's Net is Wide, by Lian Hearn, comprised of Mental Mukbang segment and a telling of some personal truths in my Unicorn Tales segment.

We immerse ourselves in personal divinity and feminine energy in all its intricacies and facets. Blessed by the poetry written and read aloud by the author herself! And Surprise, my dea3 friend Bethany stopped by as well to lend us her experience. This episode is full of love and magic and exploration.

I traveled to Los Angeles for a guest spot on @lestalkradio with @chelleychellesig and to connect with soooooo many inspiring and dope asf queer womxn of color. These folks are curating spaces for a demographic that often finds it hard to just BE in the spaces available, and to be more wholly understood. In addition to recounting my charmed visit, I delve deeply into a shorty story in the "Bloodchild" collection, called The Evening and the Morning And the Night. It's a reading of an hour and some, so skip to the last segment if you're not up for that just yet.

Today, an answer to Question 2 of 30: Why so Distant? A listener in know personally asked this question weeks ago, and in answering, being the most trasnparant and vulnerable, I came to compose this sort of love letter to someone special. An ode to who and what they are to me, an ode to women who love women, and an ode to love in the Grey Area. This is also the first appearance of our Unicorn Tales segment! Much poetry discussed and digested.

In the spirit of those gone before us, Community, and ancestry, join myself and @yodevg (Devon Ginn) as we explore the concept of ancestry, specifically of the black and brown and how our displacement into America makes it difficult for us to find those ancestors accessible. We hope you enjoy our Autocorrect, or "Found" poetry and that the mental mukbang we serve up is not only digestible, but delectable with a reading from Kuukuwa Andam's article titled, in part, "You're so terrified of the deities that your ancestors worhsipped...".

This time we're getting wayyy mystical, fantastical even!Getting into the sci-fi genre dear to my heart, with a FULL READING(be prepared, I won't stop to comment during) of the short story "Some Fortunate Future Day", by Cassandra Clare, from the Steampunk Anthology edited by Kelly Link & Gavin J. Grant. We explore the ethics of time travel, implications of certain technologies, and the nature of time itself. We also have a reading of what's called Equinox Prayer from Seed Lynn (@seedlynn) that was to earth-shaking for me to pass up reading aloud!

Question 1 of 30: When/why/how did you decide to be your whole authentic self? - Ariane Cyusa (@aah_ree_aahn). This series is in the spirit of being a person, a writer, a performer, an open book. I will be completely honest to the best of my ability, so ask me anything, really!

The current discussion of chemistry and the role it plays in relationships and love. I'm peering into the root of chemistry and alchemy, not so much as physical sciences, but as physiological and emotional processes to building a completely new and unique compound that is the pair. We also discover Similar patterns in the dynamics of the alleged power couple, Aries-Libra, lord help us. Let us investigate!

Recording this episode on the day of February 2019's full moon, and feeling the usual pull toward lunar concepts and ruminations. This episode is a taste of the more mystical musings of the podcast!🌚🌠 Poetry compilation: "Good Poems", by Garrison Keillor. 1.
