HIiiiiii-- Thanks for being patient, but we are BACK, babes. For this session we are talking about our dear old pal, depression. How does it show up for us? How do you show up for a loved one experiencing depression? We're not getting clinical, just being real with ya. Are you riding on the Midnight Sky? Do legends ever die? Get your mail-in ballot because we've got a Vice President to vote for! Don't forget to subscribe and share- if you do, Shawny might send you a pic of somebody else titties.
We do the googling for you! Check out our Recs and Resources doc to read, watch, listen, and learn along with us.

As a continuation of our belief that telling our queer stories is a radical act, we are beyond proud to share with you our conversation with Portland darling and genuinely amazing person, Destiny Smokez (she/they). Destiny opens up about their problems with sobriety, laughing through the pain, creating community for survival, and being a mother. The babes also talk about Umbrella Academy, Black is King, and speculate about what the heck is happening over at the Ellen show. Rate, Subscribe, and Review!

Ok, so we don't actually talk about Juuls or nicotine but the Germanotta reference was too hard to pass up. This session the babes are talking about their experiences with drugs, the various effects on their mental health, and possibilities for psychedelic assisted therapies. And what about what's going on in PDX, Kim's husband that evidently inspired Get Out, and that woman that left her tights on my boat??!! We also recount fond memories of Regis and pay homage to Lady Red. Buckle in, babes, we are taking you for a RIIIDEEE!

Thanks to Maarquii and Chanti Darling for letting us use the music you're vibing with throughout the episode. This only happens because of our pal that helps us with editing, Alie Kilts. She also has her own amazing podcast, Trace Material, about the materials of the world we live in.

For this session, Shawny and Jerms are diving into their relationships with sex and questioning how we're socialized to think about it. Does being queer make us inherently more sexual? Wanna hear about our first sex experiences? Which one of the babes is serving you FAITH? How are we feeling about the Smiths' entanglements? Nick Cannon got fired and someone fired a gun into Miss Megan Thee Stallion's foot. We are tellin y'all too much today wearin no bra and no panties. You into it? Support QBT by subscribing, sharing, and giving us those 5-Star reviews, babes!

For our 13th session, we are talking with Gary McCrear, a queer Black man, about what it's like navigating spirituality holding those identities, and finding practices that work for him. Is Kanye running for President or having a manic episode, and why does Terry Crews insist on being the worst? And, with great sadness, we remember Naya Rivera and play one of her iconic (and slightly problematic) glee monologues. Note: At the time of recording, Naya's body had not yet been found.

As always, thanks to Maarquii and Chanti Darling for letting us use their music. Our friend Alie Kilts did not help us edit this episode, so if it sounds like hot garbage, blame Jerms.
