SavvySpoons - Living a life of limited spell slots.

After the shooting in Atlanta last week Misty and Marlena have been thinking a lot about the stigma of sex work, and how sad it is that society seems to think it devalues the lives of the people who engage in it. 

A haiku on Twitter, a mass shooting in Boulder, and the freedom of pain killers results in an open discussion on dismantling privilege and the desperate need we have as a nation for empathy in our citizens. 

Misty discusses surgery, mysterious symptoms, and simply never having an easy fix. 

Misty remembers her last abdominal surgery, and realizes why she's so freaking nervous about this one. A short story of nerves, nervousness, and neurosis. 

Surgery approaches and Misty shares stories about doomsday thinking, nervous habits, and musings about the games surgeons might play once you go under anesthesia. 

What do you bring with you when you go in for a surgery? Misty discusses some of her go-to must haves in this episode, recorded during Colorado's 2021 "snowmegeddon". 

The Colorado weather people have predicted a Snowpocalypse. Join Misty on a high pain level day for an honest discussion on the shortcomings we have when it comes to letting people grieve, a recitation of her published poem "Grief is love with nowhere to go" and a discussion on pain during barometric pressure changes. 

Tarantulas aren't just large, slow-moving, articulate hair chucking arachnids. They are also a wealth of potential when it comes to pain killing venom. In other words, these gentle killers could be holding the solution to all our Chronic Pain problems. Join Misty as she reminisces about visiting Rosie at the Butterfly Pavilion, travels the Eastern Plains of Colorado to learn an appreciation for tarantulas, discusses chronic pain issues, and talks excitedly about the possibility of tarantula informed pain control techniques.
