For LGBT+ folx, being in the closet becomes our safe space. We get to choose to spread the flames of acceptance to achieve “normalcy,” or remain in the closet due to fear of various circumstances, such as violence and/or not being accepted. Coming out, as the spectrum is evolving, is an ongoing journey, even for those who have been out for years. And while we navigate both out-of-the-closet and in-the-closet relationships, one must realize that being out is a privilege and find ways to respect others, even in the case where love and relationships are maintained in secret. No one gets to choose the narrative of when or how someone chooses to come out, except that particular person. However, we can can choose to love one another and create safe spaces beyond the closet.

REST IN POWER SOPHIE!

REACH OUT IF YOURE FEELING SOME TYPE OF LONELY, OUR DMS ARE OPEN.

just a short episode WHEN SHIT GETS REAL WITH BESTIES, someone who you’re super close with, post Austin bizz/fun trip. We made it light cause this ain’t no BAD GIRLS CLUB because it’s about growth and laughing shit off. Don’t get us wrong there will be other moments and it’s a matter of using the new skills or resort to reactive toxic behavior. We explore on boundaries based on social activities from I would say two ambiverts ( Gem is much more reserved at home versus outside the home and vice versa with Vaughn). Consistency and moderation is key but is it worth doing anything in excess? Gem emphasizes on post anxiety/depression when it comes to heavy drinking and how that affects a person mood later. Vaughn realizes when it’s time to dismiss themselves when they are D-O-N-E, even if they want to just be around for 30 minutes and THAT’S OKAY.

We safely drove to Asstin (Austin) to have a Kiki (COVID SAFE) with guest Leticia Medrano aka TC who is the main boss of her own business TAKE CARE MOBILE MASSAGE, so if you’re in the Austin area or making a trip COVID safe holla at ya girl but also respect her time when scheduling. Having her as a guest opened up our perspective about valuing your time when it comes being an entrepreneur and applying those same values in every day life. She recommends a book she’s been reading called HUSTLE: the power to charge your life with money, meaning, and momentum, which can help you manifest those entrepreneur dreams. Lots of laughter, some reminiscing, and truth bombs.

WE’RE BACK BABY!

And goofier and sexier and QUEERER than ever. It was a needed break to just ride the remaining wave of 2020 and start fresh. We feel more confident, we revamped a few things; we truly missed sharing our voices and just expressing our thots and experiences on topics.

We thot it be a good idea to dive into the topic of LETTING GO, we also did a recap of 2020 - from the newdsworthy to the personal. Of course time and new resolutions is a construct and arbitrary so it’s never to late or early to let go and or start new things. So don’t feel that you have to wait a WHOLE ASS year to make changes.

We want to give a shout to Fransisco, who created our fun little intro jingle; and Maria for creating our sexy logo. So round of applause and gritos to these amazing folx. And shout out to the people who submitted to our thotbox, we love those, you know who you are little thotties.

HOW WE BĒNZ: we catch up with our usual selves and chime in with how we been feeling since therapy ain’t free; we dive in communicating a little better, the damn dishwasher, a brief on poly dating, and miss Albert. NEWDSWORTHY: it’s all about the Biden Harris win. TOPIC: we wanted to talk about love languages and how it’s important to check in on your friends especially since the holidays are coming up and it affects most people especially those in the LGBT+ community. We wanna thank Joey, Eric, and Maya for submitting their love language submissions.
