In the wake of the United States election, we want to use this episode as a space to have conversation with you and each other. Lauren processes her fear and anger, while Haylie gets vulnerable about the betrayal she and many others are feeling. On the other side of the coin, on Haylie's mind has also been community, mutual aid and joy, which she brings to the discussion today. Our call to action for you today: participate in your community, check on your people, and share your joy.
At the end of the episode, Lauren shares the poem Etiquette Leash by beloved Andrea Gibson. You can read it here.

It’s Election Day in the United States, and as we await results with bated breath we invite you to listen to our timely conversation with Margaret Vandenburg, author of Craze. We hear from her about Henri’s story and how the centennial of the Queer Craze and crackdown inspired her to write this cautionary tale. She speaks to us about being willing and ready to stand up for ourselves as a community, and how fun, joy, and desire not only define who we are, but are acts of rebellion.
Lauren promised to link her favorite spoken word she was referencing in this week's episode. However Lauren did get the quote and the author wrong. The spoken word poet she was thinking of was Valerie Kaur while the poem she was referring to was Etiquette by Andrea Gibson. Both are linked below.
Valerie Kaur's @ Watch Night 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCenwgheIBs
Etiquette Leash by Andrea Giboson with the quote Lauren was referring to about it "never being polite to throw back the tear gas" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDCF7eh7lWQ

Truly, we cannot emphasize enough how stunning this book by Margaret Vandenburg is. This episode, we talk the Queer Craze of the American 1920s in NYC, underground speakeasies, and the balancing act of queer people walking between heteronormative day life and queer culture. We discuss how growing up with shame impacts the development of queer adults, and delicate family dynamics. Artists and visionaries populate our world this episode, and we invite you to join.

This week, our hosts have an allergic reaction to new character Annette, who makes Haylie like Jenny in comparison. Dana's apparently closeted mother rejects her when she comes out, Bette and Tina face harsh truths, and Haylie gives a lesson on hygiene and shame. Let's go!

Our next book is CRAZE by Margaret Vandenburg, and as Haylie was reading she couldn't help but look up the many characters who are REAL historical figures. So, this episode is full of information on these queer icons of the 1920s and 30s, so that you can have an enriched reading experience! Let's get CRAZy!

This is a sapphic thriller filled with chemical weapons attacks, secret agents (or not technically agents, you be the judge), and romance! Join us as we talk all things intelligence agents, and not just what we learned from Miss Congeniality 😝

We hope you are as obsessed with this book as Haylie is, because she wants companionship embarking on the painful journey of waiting for Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner (they/them) to become a series. Listen in as we talk about egregious miscommunications, smut, and the extremely Taurus way of keeping your living space as a temple - just like Grace Henderson. Also, if you've been dying to find out what Lauren's type is, this is the episode for you.
