Awhile back I said I was going to make mailbag episodes a regular thing. Then the world kind of erupted. But this week is that mailbag episode! Planning to do these about every 8 weeks or so. Each one will be accompanied by a patrons only version, so if you're interested, check out patreon.com/queersplaining. This week on the patrons only version I'm going to talk about burnout, a bit about my relationship and more! Love you friends <3
