Just read On Her Terms by Amy Spalding (@thatames.bsky.social) and loved it. It reminded me that it’s okay at any point in life to redefine what paths we want to take, and we don’t have to do what’s expected or typical if it’s not for us. Also it’s a cute funny queer romance. 🏳️‍🌈 🩷💜💙

I love to look at the listener metrics for my podcast and see what episodes from the back catalogue are gaining steam. The most popular episode is now my conversation with @thatames.bsky.social about redefining "successful adulthood" as a queer person. Sleeper hit! open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

The number of different Chicago Pope photoshops that have popped up on my various timelines today is absolutely delightful. It's like all of the ancient civilizations of the world independently inventing noodles without ever meeting each other.

See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.

JK Rowling posing like a smug supervillain on some yacht or villa balcony or something and gloating about the UK Supreme Court's anti-trans decision.

This week's episode of REBEL EVER AFTER is dedicated to the quiet bisexuals. Listen to my convo with @thatames.bsky.social on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

"When you're bisexual, coming out can be really odd. If you're in a straight-seeming relationship, what are you going to do? Run around and be like, 'Just so you know, I also like other genders'? It feels hard to do, and so a lot of times it's left unsaid. Not because you're ashamed! It is just hard to bring up in a way that feels organic." - Amy Spalding

This week on Rebel Ever After, @thatames.bsky.social and I tackled the ultimate scam: being an "adult." What does adulthood (and the happily-ever-after) look like outside of a cis-het framework? Plus bisexual rep and how to build queer community. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

“In years past, queer community existed because so many people were pushed away by their families of origin, or never felt like they could quite connect with them. It was a necessity to build queer community. Friendships take work. Community takes work. They're all nouns, not verbs.” — Amy Spalding, the Rebel Ever After podcast

I’m reaching out to learn more about your podcast’s themes and plans for 2025. I like your work and would love to explore how we might collaborate or contribute by having some of my clients on the show.

We work with a wide range of clients—from leading ride-sharing companies all the way to established Bitcoin miners and insurance providers. We are also used to working together with podcast hosts and always make sure both parties get the most out of these opportunities.

My contracts with my publishers don't allow them or me to use AI for anything, and that's the way I want it. Besides all of the obvious issues, I write because I get *pleasure* out of it--and solace and understanding and all kinds of other benefits. I am not "outsourcing" any of that.
