Episodes
This week we're talking about "health" and "wellness" and our personal experiences with it, and Shim Sham debuts a new segment called Queer Questions!
(Content warnings: sex talk in the Queer Questions segment, you can skip to about 12:09 to skip that, and there is talk of dieting, weight loss, etc in the latter half.)
(Originally recorded on 5/5/24)

After a brief break, the queers are back at it with a light and breezy episode of *checks notes* Edgar Allen Poe, tuberculosis, and sleep paralysis/demons. Also some favorite things!

Here we go again with all the headlines fit to scream at! Or at least a few, there's too many for just one episode. . . oh dear.
(Content warning: there is discussion of the death of Nex Benedict, which includes violence against a queer person, transphobia, and suicide. Warnings are included before the discussion starts, as well.)

Welcome to the, we assume, much anticipated part two of our episode about that game and that transphobe.
In this installment, Kay Jay leads Shim Sham through the rest of the timeline of events, highlighting some of the unsavory characters involved and how the role of ally is to be filled. (Spoiler alert - allyship is earned through action)
