QBT with Shawny and Jerms

It's ~Scorpio~ season, babes! What change are you going to embrace this year? We talk through the Lovecraft Country finale, President Ariana Grande, and Cakesdakilla's latest single. Then, we are joined by absolute babe & badass (and QBT editor), Alie Kilts! Together, we share our own personal relationships with antidepressants, and offer some information to consider if it may be right for you. Important to note: we are NOT doctors despite being very smart and hot. We know. It's confusing. Please subscribe, rate, review, and share ~ and be sure to check out or Recommendations and Resources doc!

CW: Mentions of Suicidal Ideation.

Big thanks to Maarquii and Chanti Darling for letting us use their work for our theme and in-episode music. 

As Poot Lovato once asked, "What's wrong with being confident?" This week we are diving into what confidence is, what it isn't, and how to cultivate that within ourselves and each other. Is Grand Army a show we should watch? What is Jerms' favorite Dolly Parton song? Have y'all seen the 40 Year Old Version, because Shawny is Kelly Rowland Crazy for it. Sit back, relax, and remember you're the sh*t. Be sure to subscribe and review! You can check out all of our research and media we talk about on our Recommendations and Resources doc (link in bio).

After fawning over Fenty Vol. 2, trying to break down the clusterf*ck of presidential COVID cronies, and figuring out if the accents in Haunting of Bly Manor should be arrested... we talk about boundaries. How do we define them? Why are they so gosh dang hard to maintain? When can boundaries be unhealthy? Is being selfish a bad thing? Remember babes, empathy without boundaries is self-destruction. You can read, watch, learn, and laugh along with us by checking out our Recs and Resources doc. Finally, Rest in Power to trans activist and journalist, Monica Roberts.

For Shawny's birthday, the babes jump into masturbation. Is it healthy? What are some benefits? When might it be harmful or undesirable? This silly solo sex seminar is not one to miss. And what about those definitively disgusting debates, the craft reboot, and Moonlight (but with lions)?! Are you a lamb? Is your heart made of glass? Is Travis Scott only for the children? Tune in to find out all of this, and more. Be sure to check out our Recommendations and Resources doc so you can listen, watch, read, and learn along with us.

We are this month's featured podcast for Open Signal PDX! Big thanks to Maarquii and Chanti Darling for letting us use their music. As always, thanks to Alie Kilts for editing.

Do y'all hear that sound quality?! The growth. This week, Shawny opens up about some recent events, and the babes talk about experiences of grief and loss. We also gab [that's gossip!] about the Emmys, Vanessa Bryant and her messy mom, Euphoria's 2037 season two debut date, and why we won't be watching Antebellum (we love you, Janelle). We've got stickers! Be sure to check out our Recs and Resources doc so you can listen, watch, read, and learn along with us.

As a practitioner of somatic therapy and editor of Oppression and the Body: Roots, Resistance, and Resolutions, Lucia Bennett, LPC, helps us dive into the topic of eating disorders and queerness. Lucia also reveals all the ways she is a bona fide lesbian(TM) cat lady and we love her for it. Shawny is back, and the babes gab about RBG, Miss Germanotta's pomegranates, and Brennifer's awkward table read. Cattle prods for self defense 2020!

If we talk about it, we post about it, and we do the googling for you! Check out our Recs and Resources doc so you can read, watch, listen, and learn along with us.

We are finally legal babes! Whoooooo hooooo. We kick off our new found adulthood with a guest co-host, Carlos Valle, who jumped in while Shawny is out taking care of business. We chat about the teeny tiny timmy in Dune, Paris' mean boyfriends, and captain america's flag pole. Later, we are joined by author, poet, and internet baddie, Erin Taylor (@ATMFIEND)! Erin talks with us about trauma, sex work, healing through memes, and finding community on the internet. We are all running away from fires and toxic air, so please forgive the socially distant sound quality. CW: mentions of CSA and other traumas.

The babes get their birth charts read!! This session we are blessed to be joined by Andres Lopez (DJ, Poet, Artist, Astrology babe), and we talk about the connections between behavioral health and astrology. We also dive into Mulan, Amaz*n's The Boys, and try to figure out what language SZA is singing. It's a long one, but it's soy worth it. Kick back, and look at the stars, babes- we are goin with the ~flow~

Thanks to Maarquii and Chanti Darling for letting us use their music. Big thanks to Alie Kilts (and her dog Floyd) for production assistance and being an all around great babe. 

This session we have the pleasure of having Culver City Council hopeful, Yasmine-Imani McMorrin, join us to talk equity, taking care, defunding the police, and juggling the world while running for office. We also record in-person together for the first time and it was soy much fun (and sounded a little shite-sorry hehe). The babes also get into OnlyFans, Conversion Therapy, the NBA, and remember Chadwick Boseman. Buy some stamps and visit https://www.mcmorrinforculvercity.com/
