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!

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.

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.
