After referencing it many times in recent episodes, we decided it was time to revisit our episode "Define the Relationship" (aka the one with the relationship smorgasbord). In this episode we reflect on our relationship two years later and the one area of the smorgasbord that made us both surprisingly uncomfortable.

There are a lot of of relationship smorgasbords and relationship anarchy tools out there, but you an find the one we used on this page: https://www.phoenyxenterprising.com/relating.html

We also make reference to our episode "Who's Responsible for Taking Care of Us".

We’re talking about queer friendship, and the ways it can be expansive, affirming, and enriching in a world that teaches us to prioritize romantic monogamy over everything else. Turns out, it’s gay to be friends.

Hi Barbies! We’re talking about the Barbie movie, which we believe is a film about gender performance. We discuss Barbie as an ace icon, Ken’s compulsory heterosexuality, the homoerotic tension between the Kens, and all things gender. And of course, we beach off.
