Policing harm in the polyamory and BDSM communities can be challenging. When consent is violated, when people are assaulted, when people commit assault... we often shy away from victim and perpetrator. In A.V. Flox's important first book, Disrupting the Bystander: When #metoo Happens Among Friends, we learn that we should do the opposite. We should surround people who have been harmed and people who harm with our human spirit to help them find space to heal.In this episode we discuss the book and the process of care it outlines for ourselves, for those harmed, and yes, for those who have harmed others. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of assault, rape, bad actors, and how unsafe we really are in our "communities" without having each other's back.For a list of references, our social media,credits, and a transcript of this episode head to PodPodCvltCast.com !Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/PodPodCvltCast)

PS, find out why you should NOT come out at work!If you've followed this journey, maybe you've heard some of this before. Or HAVE you? We'll never tell. Chastain is a relationship coach who has worked with individuals on plans to come out to friends and family as non-monogamous.

America’s Sweetheart, Dolly Parton, has tried to stay relevant since the start of her career in the 1950s. She’s also tried to stay monogamous and faithful to one man. Her latest book, Dolly on Dolly, talks about some failures at both. She sometimes describes her marriage as “free and open.” She also says she doesn’t care if he flirts. She also calls women he has crushes on hussies. There’s a lot to unpack about Dolly, the woman, the myth, the legend. Obviously a podcast about kink and polyamory is the place for this to happen. Obvs. (PS. We don’t discuss her suicide attempt, that’s not for us. Go to some other podcast, please and thank you.)Warning, Chastain goes on and on about her adoration and fetishization of Dolly the character. We also update you on some life things, like a cute day-date between Max & Chastain, Hannah’s baking, and Erik’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” adventure. Another warning: asking Erik questions is absolutely like trying to find out what your kid did at school all day. All of this and more on another thrilling episode of… the Pod Pod Cvlt Cast!Terms of NoteHere are some terms and phrases we use in this podcast and links to articles we find informative.

CBS recently released a short documentary called “Speaking Frankly: Non-monogamy” available here. We’re non-monogamous, so we watched it!

We hope to do better in the future.This episode contains candid discussion of lack of rights for non-monogamous partnerships in marriage and the workplace and is very Virginia, US focused – for our non-Virginia, US listeners.We provide a comprehensive-ish list of terms, phrases, resources, and references that come up in the show along with relevant links.

But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”“Because you are alive, everything is possible.”“Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.”“Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.”“Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.” Thich Nhat Hanh (curated from HackSpirit.com)Resources & ReferencesHannah's Nerd Girl Stuff: Doctor WhatPodcast Max Wants You To Listen To: Joey Clift on How Did This Get PlayedPodcast: How Did This Get Made (which IS on Earwolf)Short Film: Telling People You'Re Native American When You'Re Not Native Is A Lot Like Telling A Bear You'Re A Bear When You'Re Not A Bear Video Chastain Wants You To Watch: Native American Girls Describe the REAL History Behind ThanksgivingThe Meringue Box Recipe Chastain Fucked Up When She Was 17Credits & ContactHosts: Max, Chastain, Hannah, & ErikWebsite: www.podpodcvltcast.comEmail: thepod@podpodcvltcast.comTitle Music: "Spencer - Bluegrass" by Lobo LocoMidroll Music: "The Point Break" by Pale Blue/GoberinoSocial MeteorsInstagram: @cvltwithavTwitter: @PodPodCvltCast Facebook: @PodPodCvltCast Patreon: Pod Pod Cvlt Cast
