That's Not Your Foot; Quantum Futurisms and Ethical Fiction
Beth and Bett, while sitting in a hot tub whacked on edibles, decide to disengage from consensual reality, until further notice
The Psychedelic Negative
Beth and Bett realize they are less addicted to social media and the internet and are now addicted to TALKING ABOUT social media and the internet. Beth's brain was broken by the response in the matrix of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg; while Bett is learning how to build her public avatar as she makes appearances on Zoom and podcasts promoting her book. If we equate our current existential state as a collective to a bad psychedelic trip, how do we not blame the "brown acid."
Symptom Check-In and "The Social Dilemma"
Beth and Bett review all their physical and mental symptoms. Beth prepares to get off Facebook, while Bett figures out the psycho-active chemical equivalent of each electoral candidate.
New Rules; From Masks to Mermaid Attacks
New rules in new Covid times; the pandemic is not over even while some of us believe we can make it so. Who plays by the rules and who doesn't, and whose rules are we talking about? Bett likes to sneak into pools, doesn't get the point of rules, while Beth follows them all. It's the laws she likes to break. Are you a rule breaker or a law breaker, a conformist or an independent? What is a sheeple? Is it wise to be discussing inter-dimentional sex with sprit entities in the town square?
EMERGENCY EPISODE: Taylor Swift is Psychedelic, Insect Overlords Exist and Homeland Security is in Albuquerque
Everything you need to know in the current Emergency: Insect Overlords, Taylor Swift is Psychedelic, Butterflies are eating Round-UP, Beth reports on Forests with Good Boundaries, Homeland Security is in Albuquerque and Bett had a dream about Bony Cows running down Central Avenue.
The Liminal Prayer; An Introduction
Recorded in July, when the pandemic was supposed to chill but ended up doing the opposite, we introduce our podcast about the intersection between culture and psychedelics. Keanu Reeves is psychedelic, Ethan Hawke is not. Star Wars is psychedelic, Star Trek is not. Why? What does the psychedelic offer us in the liminal zone we are in together? We ponder these questions as well as celebrate unexpected victories, such as the shut down of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
