Well my dears, we're stuck. COVID-19 has got the world on lock-down. I asked you, dear listeners and followers, which songs make you feel nice. So, this episode is chock full of niceness to soothe your worried minds. When I recorded this, I had a cold, but have since recovered.

Take care out there, call your Grandma, take a walk, and breath deep. We'll get through this!

Disco F*cks!
You've probably heard the phrase "disco sucks!" thrown around when people start talking about disco or macho rock culture from the 70's.

This hour, I wanted to offer a shout out to disco new and old! Cause Disco F*cks!

It's Sagittarius season. It's cuffing season. Everyone is sick. Your exams are done. It's time to mull some wine and eat a lot, make plans to survive a lot of time with your family!

What are some things you’re doing to make the yuletide gay as in happy and homosexual? Personally, I’m hanging out with as many of my dear pals as possible, sneaking flasks into queer dance parties, and buying lots of cheese.

REASON 2 - Pharmacare - people need meds and a lot of them are very expensive. If you don’t have...

The youth are leading climate action globally, and right now all eyes are on Greta Thunberg following her address to UN climate action summit. Thunberg is right to centre Indigenous activists in the movement, as they have been raising these issues and mobilizing for years before the world was paying attention.

I also talk about Enby Party, a music label, festival, and collective by and for non-binary artists.
