Hey everyone! I am thrilled to bring you a solo episode and a new podcast format for solo shows! Today, I felt called to do a collective tarot and oracle card reading for you, in this moment, wherever you are, whatever day this episode finds you. Next, I read an inspiring poem from my friend, Alexis Dent's poetry book, Put It In Rice. Later, I share a book that is helping me navigate stabilizing mental health issues before I plan to have a baby. Beyond learning from this book, I see a homeopathic/M.D. and I do not recommend making changes to your medicinal or homeopathic regimen without a doctor's supervision. This is simply my journey, and I hope it inspires you to heal your mind too. Health is the truest wealth. Today’s show covers topics like: -A collective oracle and tarot card reading -A poem that encourages us to feel to heal and move through the grief of 2020 -An introduction to the book Heal Your Mind by Mona Lisa Schulz, M.D., Ph.D. and Louise Hay -How medicine and homeopathic vitamins combined with affirmations and intuition about the body and energy centers can bring healing and wholeness -The chakra system and how it mirrors our emotional centers -My mental health journey It's time to set yourself FREE, Lovely One! The love of God inside of me honors the love in you. Namaste, My Friends.

Alexis Dent, writer and co-host of the very funny podcast "The Violet Wanderers" joins us to discuss Jamie Babbit's 1999 cult classic queer satire, BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER.We get into mid-century modern kitsch, the narrow-mindedness of cishet reviewers, the evils of the MPAA (who gave BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER an NC-17 rating for reasons all but explicitly homophobic.) Alexis also discusses her adolescence, growing up bisexual and trans in the midwest (in the frank and witty fashion few but she can) and why this film was how this film was the first time she saw herself in media.Follow Alexis on Twitter @FilthAlexis Follow her wonderful podcast "The Violet Wanderers" @violetwanderers (www.violetwanderers.com) Support the show (https://twitter.com/YouStarteditpod)

Do you want them to make your audience laugh, cry, or inspire?” “Do not repeat the same lines. Do not just try to go for something that you think sounds good. Make it about something that you know is true in your heart.” “Celebrities truly are no different than we are. The only thing that is different is that there is more at risk by saying that they had some random stranger in upstate New York write their vows.” “One thing people feel like they should steer away from is mentioning some negative things in their vows, but there is always a positive way to lace negative parts of a relationship.” “Don’t be afraid to include things that aren’t so pretty.” “Writing your vows is a really big undertaking, you can love your partner or love the friend that you are toasting as much as you could possibly love them, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you feel comfortable putting those words on paper.” “If you’re a member of the wedding party, it’s no different than getting fitted for a suit. You’re not going to go sew the suit yourself, you don’t have to write the toast yourself, what matters is that it comes from your heart and that it encompasses the relationship.” At Kenneth Cooper Films our passion is weaving together compelling stories with timeless and elegant visuals.

4 December 2017 - Though Will is still on vacation, I am joined by two of our associates. Basically, we came at the subject of framing from many different directions throughout the show. I start with a fairly deep dive into dynamic scoring. I know––you can't wait, right?!? While scoring methodology is one of those suuuuuppppper dry subjects, dynamic scoring in important because of the framing space it supposedly grants to Republicans and because this frame is so good at getting us to take our eyes off the carrot. Paying attention to what actually matters in this reality means that we MUST STOP talking about deficits and stay focused on our values, on the real economy and on the welfare and happiness of our people - and by that I mean #AllOfUs. Hopping Mad Associate, Alexis Dent, is up next. For those of you who are regular listeners, you will notice that Joel has changed his name to Alexis and he begins his block by briefly telling us about that before talking about the current conversation which is everywhere these days, sexual harassment. Alexis is not sharing or commenting upon the latest stories or scandals, rather he is talking about what he believes to be a shift in some of the long-standing victim-blaming agendas and his concern about the inevitable backlash. He also takes a few minutes to address the fact that not all victims are women and while this is a time for women to have their say, all of those who have been the victims of predators are to be believed, supported and empowered. HM Associate David Paquette is back with us again to keep diving into health insurance related issues. This time he uses an excellent framing, likening health insurance to the fire department. I did not know anything about the insurance industry efficiency scoring of fire departments but Dave explains it well and appropriately. He moves from there to a discussion of the use of emergency rooms as primary insurance of last resort and how The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) came into being. Another fascinating story I did not know. Dave ties all of this back to the Donor's Relief Bill, currently known as the Republican Tax Plan, in a very timely way. In Extra Mad I close out the show with a terrific article, from SplinterNews.com, by Raúl Carrillo (@RaulACarrillo), of New Economy Project, and Jesse Myerson, of Hoosier Action, The Dangerous Myth of 'Taxpayer Money'. This is an outstanding article about framing and how we talk about public money from the point of view of two experienced and accomplished activists. I recommend that you read it and share it WIDE. Will is back next week! Carrots! - Arliss
