Hey sis, it's Christmas! Welcome to the first ever extra special episode of the podcast that is currently known as Silk!

Listen the holidays are often weird for us queer folk (and literally anyone who doesn't always fit in). We wanted to give you all an extra special episode of your fav new podcast as a holiday treat. So, whether you're serving on the front lines of the war on Christmas (work), making the yuletide gay (so major), or celebrating nothing at all, join us for a continuation of the pop culture moments of 2023.

This Special Episode is a continuation of this weeks regularly scheduled programing - if you haven't listened to that yet, feel free to catch up there, but honestly there are no rules here & you can fully jump in wherever <3

We've got a lot to cover, starting with all the celeb breakups that rocked us this year (Taylor & British Joe, Jonas Brother Joe & Sophie Turner & the ring cam, Hugh Jackman & Antony from queer eye are f*cking???). Plus, The Last of Us (Prestige Gay Mushroom), Scandaval (Bravocore), Noah Schnapp Comes Out (Stranger Things Have Happened), Rihanna Plays Football, Gwyenth Paltrow Invents Skiing, Sam Smith Tells Straight People He's Queer, & so so so so much more.

If you like this episode please leave us a 5 star rating! We'll be back at our regularly scheduled time Wednesday to wrap 2023 up in a nice little bow! Bye Gay!

Is it strange that we're doing a recap episode literally the 2nd month into our existence? Yes! Is it literally DE LU LU that we are splitting it into 3 parts?? of course!!! But your gay girls absolutely love to make a little list.

**Editors note: this list was formulated in a lab. Various women in STEM spent months coding, 3d printing, & researching pop culture moments utilizing the scientific method & the pythagorean theorem. ultimately this list is scientifically accurate & approved by the FDA**

Join us for our first of 3 installments celebrating all the queer moments in pop culture that brought us joy or gave us the ick. We get into current pop culture slays like the Twink in the Senate Hearing Room, the pope blessing gay couples (not the serve that you'd think), the hottest Sapphic Club Track from Renee App & Meg Thee Stallion (the black regina George), Cyntishas first sisterhood of them traveling pants, & Ziwe interviewing diva down George Santos.

We also give you the rundown of our major tiers for the list:

Roman Empire/Rent Free

Although Enjoyment
