#152 fear the rainbow
happy pride qweirdos! what year is this again? with all the irrational fears of rainbow gear indoctrinating kids, it seems like we're reliving the 80s satanic panic queer-style. it's bananas! so let's celebrate the perseverance and resilience of LGBTQ+ communities and the fun, creative ways we fight back by highlighting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. listen, we're more than here and queer. we're out and proud, and we're not going anywhere.

#151 the rainbow oasis (ft. jj n tone)
somewhere over the rainbow, there's an oasis for the glittery ones! that's right, qweirdos, our pals jj & tone are working their tails off to say GAY every day in florida. they are establishing an assisted living facility for the silver foxes of the rainbow! currently, there are only two in existence in the united states, and they are in the blue country of cali, so the need is real. too many of our trailblazers are forced back into the closet or face severe abuse and discrimination in these facilities, so creating a safe space for our golden years is so important. and with the current climate of anti-lgbtq+ action, finding an oasis is paramount.
you can find out more about the rainbow oasis here. you can purchase rainbow oasis merch here. you can donate to this amazing venture here. you can apply for a job here. you can contact jj & tone here.

#141 good gone bad
as we continue to eat our own, we're having a little ellen appetizer as we talk about her downfall from the "queen of nice" to the "queen of mean" then we move on to our main course of patricia highsmith, who penned "Carol" the first published lesbian love story with a happy ending turned rabid racist and anti-semite. we're going to have heartburn after this meal.

#140 we are girl trash
in our first "we eat our own" episode we're trashing girl trash: all night long. this musical romp is wonderfully devoid of catchy tunes, invests in some hilariously cringy dialogue, and features some of the og l word side pieces. loved it!

This week we are discussing Nicole's favorite topic, TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT!! Actually Gaylor Alison Swift (cause she's queer according to Nicole's years and years of research) We explore her lyrics through a queer lens, talk ex girlfriends, a find there is much more than meets the eye, as there always is with TS. Just remember~The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey, most of them are true ;) (I mentioned in the podcast fashion designer Christian Millian in the episode but I most definitely meant Christian Siriano)
Check out "What Will I Say" and "The Archers" podcast for great Gaylor content. Also @swiftplanntika on tiktok, she explains how gaylor makes complete mathematical sense!

#120 jenny pride
happy pride month, qweirdos! to kick it off, we're comin' out with our absolute love and admiration for the most hated character of the og l word, jenny schecter. we know how brave this is, especially since it's been nearly two decades since it first aired (YIKES!), but you know we like to take on the hardest hitting of only the most current topics. still, jenny is still relevant today. she's messy, imperfect, a handful, relatable, and easily the most three dimensional of all the lez girls.

#111 age gaps
This week we get into the age old question, how old is too old? And how young is too young? Justin was too young for Brian, right?! Especially if you follow the rule of 7s. Age difference in relationships is a complicated matter, so join us as we discuss if it really does matter. (Also, Nicole apologizes for not plugging her mic in-resulting in her sounding like she is 'live from the bottom of the ocean') Cheers Queers!

#110 we're creepers
