In Tay's interview with Black queer grassroots liberationist @mausttt, they open up with celebrating the beauty that is the Blackness of Detroit. The conversation continues with discussing relationships to old people + ageism and the strength that comes from interacting with older Black folk, food accessibility as it relates to money and (dis)ability status, connections between being low-income and eating disorders in Black children, the literal spirits of food and power it has on building intercultural solidarity, and offering descriptions of ways they personally nourish their spirit and feed their gender.

The world lied when it began to tell Black children that the world owed them nothing. What does it look like to embrace the philosophy of Black Entitlement? In this episode, Tay also recalls an Anishinaabeg story narrated by Mary Siisip Geniusz, discussing the primacy of plants in the order of life on Earth. Human supremacy among nature is identified, and conversations are also introduced around human supremacy’s impact specifically on supernatural beings that humans share the planet with.

In intense conversation with Black queer astrologer and mystic, Jalen White (@ChalkoftheSky), comes discussion around the spirits and genders of planets, time-travel, gender and sexuality not merely being “scams” but having spiritual functions as it relates to humans, jinn, and other creatures, and later on astrological forecasts for 2020 for the “United States” trickling down to our individual lives for those living on said land. So gon and pull out your notepad, because you finna take HELLA notes.

Tay discusses revisiting a Black Baptist church with her friend and the guest reverend summoning the apocalypse during service,
the jinn living at the Korean spa, debunking a myth about jinn, and briefly touching on the spiritual power embedded within the K-Pop industry.

While still in Austin, TX, Tay interviews Faith Grace Williams (@muleoftheworld). What is discussed is the concept of gatekeeping Blackness, Negro cultural garb, Black Womanhood as its own gender, “BIPOC”, Black indigeneity, and disrupting fake notions of intercultural solidarity.

It's story time! Tay goes into her and Faith's earlier encounter in Austin, TX that was organized by their spirits to confront their fears around bugs. What is later discussed is the need to re-evaluate our relationships to food, animals, plants and other creatures we share this Earth with...without falling into shame and back into whiteness.

TW: mention of Black death, not explicit descriptions, but it is mentioned. There is another trigger warning said in the episode so you know when. This episode consists of Tay going into her experience with jury duty and her Ancestors' comment for her protection + spiritual safety, and later he advocates for the uses of silence and retreating (especially as a Black femme) and the right to engage in it.
