In this episode, we talk all about Norse Mythology, creatures, and lore. First, Cody discusses the Draugar, a zombie-like creature that can shape-shift and eats livestock to ruin our lives. Then, Chris talks all about the gigantic cephalopod known as the Kraken (it's actually Norse, not Greek!). Next, Cody shares a very funny legend about the god Thor and his day in drag. Finally, Chris tells us about legends and beliefs centered around one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature: the Northern Lights. Creep of the Week is an article about Vikings in America.

We're kicking things off with Anna Kochetkova, a Russian-born Australian author, poetess, and Bi+ activist based in Sydney. Anna's book, "Bi & Prejudice", a memoir about her bisexual journey, was recently published by Debut Books, and she also runs the "Bi & Prejudice" Instagram space.Anna's story is both specific and universal -- her multiple identities affected her experience in a unique way, but her Bi+ journey hits a lot of common themes that many of us have experienced. We chatted about her book and Instagram space, how growing up in a conservative & pro-authoritarian family affected her identity and allowed her to repress her bisexuality for a long time, how moving to Sydney opened her up to new people and experiences, the ways that all her relationships have "queered" since coming out (not just romantic relationships), her experience with fluid sexuality while identifying as "straight", why she chose to come out to her friends when she did but has not yet come out to her parents (although she has "tested the waters"), why she set an intention to attend more play parties and meet queer & poly people in a sex-positive space, how her queerness affects her poetry -- and vice versa -- and much more!

It All Started With… A Broken PelvisThe If You Could See Me Project is about taking shame off the table and bringing your whole self to your life. Well in 2019 things changed for us as they did for the rest of the world, and we had to find new ways to reach those goals. After taking some time to re-envision and plan our Erin, our anxious leader and founder of The If You Could See Me Project, has found a new way to help people tell their stories. Even if you don't want to tell your story you can listen and feel comfortable in knowing you are not alone. It All Started With… A Broken Pelvis, is the first season in what we hope will be a long series of stories. Erin is telling her story first, to learn how it works and because she would never ask something of anyone that she wouldn't do herself. So, tune in every Monday for a new episode of It All Started With… Check out our other podcastsHealthy Minds in Media, Therapist's Corner, and of course, Coffee and Conversations.

We have a very special treat for you today. A year ago we had to do something very different. Covid was just ramping up and shutting everything down and we had a group of amazing women that had been working hard leading up to their If You Could See Me presentation. Then the world closed down so we here at if you could see me didn't want to give up the opportunity for these women who worked so hard to tell their story. So Each of these women, Kerri and I met in an outdoor public space masked and ready. We recorded each of their stories and did our first If You Could See Me broadcast. We went live on streamyard and youtube and we had a show. Today, I want you, our faithful friends and podcast family to have the opportunity to hear these amazing and strong women's stories. This is what we are about, empowering people to tell their story, to take shame off the table not only for them but for anyone who is listening. We know it gets better and we are here to help you find a way to tell your story. Join the movement check out our website to see all the ways you can join or follow us on Patreon. And now... here is our rebroadcast of If You Could See Me: Into the Light.

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.04 airing Sunday, January 23rd 2022 featuring Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August.Ships log: Rear Admiral Johnny P. Angel reporting.Ahoy! This week aboard the Flagship of the Atheist Experience Network, Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August head for international waters. Of course, they begin at the official NP winter quarters, a small, but comfortable villa, up the Tiber from the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Ostia Antica, seaport of ancient Rome, itself. The skuttlebutt is that il Papa is singing some pro-LGBTQ shanties. A closer listen is warranted. They find that his tone is somehow off…hmmm. Having weighed anchor, these modern day Argonauts sail for what seems a lifetime, only to find themselves traversing the Sulu Sea (yes, the SULU Sea). Upon making landfall at Bataan Port, our intrepid crew surveys the Philippines' new ban on child marriage. About time they cheer! But what is this, they each descry through their looking glass? The expected: religious-types making a typical stink. Noted in the ship's log. Time to make waves…a fair wind blows them southwest along the coast to Borneo, west to Singapore, past the tip of India, through the Suez Canal, beyond the Straights of Gibraltar, hugging Portugal, Espana, and Frahhhnce, across the channel, skirting the eastern coast of England, and FINALLY laying anchor at the Port of Tilbury, in Essex, UK. Here, Captain Laura and the Bridge Crew stride the gangplank and inspect lowly Piltdown Man and his cobbled-together head. They've collected their shillings and shamble (their legs are not used to such stability) to the nearest pub, where over whatever drinks they elect, they confabulate a spell on the topic of that singular cohort: Gen Z: and how they do, and do not get together. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.

"William stood strong in who he was. If the world didn't like that he was queer, fuck the world."On 7 June 2005, the body of William Fenzau was discovered in his Miami, Florida home. Having been stabbed dozens of times in the neck, chest, back, and arms, investigators initially theorized that more than one killer had been involved in the vicious attack.As detectives got to work trying to track down William's killer(s), producers and cameramen from A&E's "The First 48" followed closely. The program would end up covering the vast cast of characters that had come into William's life in the months before his death - many of whom were prominent figures in Miami's illicit methamphetamine market - but answers remain out-of-reach nearly two decades later...Special thanks to William's sister Lori Grande for agreeing to speak with me.

In one week's time,  four mom's told us that their children didn't feel safe at church.  This is not unusual.  We hear this a lot. We also hear from parent's who don't have LGBTQ children they don't understand why LGBTQ children feel unsafe at church. In this episode we get vulnerable when we talk about HOW our LGBTQ saints feel emotionally unsafe in our churches.   It isn't happening intentionally but it is a reality for most LGBTQ LDS members at church.   Learning what makes them feel emotionally unsafe is the first step for us to become better disciples of our Savior.   His gospel is not unsafe, so we need to talk to our LGBTQ children and rethink our teaching and how we present it to uncover the answer to what is causing our LGBTQ members to feel disconnected with Him? We hope you can feel our love and plea for each of you and how we can create a safer environment for ALL of God's children in our church community. If you are looking to learn the tools and to get the coaching that will help your LGBTQ family thrive while gaining access to other families on this journey than the Lift and Love Community is the place for you.  For details on how to join go to www.liftandlove.org/community Join us for any of our free monthly Lift+Love Support Groups - link sign up at Lift+Love Support .

In a recent Twitter conversation about LGBTQ money differences, we got pushback from a troll who claims that we're inventing an issue that doesn't really exist. But the numbers don't lie. And if you look at the research around queer people and our finances, it's obvious that we face a few challenges that others do not. So, how does being LGBTQ make money different for you? On this episode of Queer Money, we share seven ways LGBTQ money is different and provide the data to back up those claims   Subscribe to the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe

In today's Meat the boys talk about February challenge proposals, Jay stumbling into a drag bar, and Nappi working in night life. But first, Nappi discusses Plankton and Karen's relationship, adding acquaintances on social media, movie themes, and dad friend energy. Then, Jay details the different types of orgasms women experience. The most important goal of a drag queen is to make others believe that their inauthentic physical self is actually their authentic self.  We are all in drag. We morph our personalities based on the disposition of our audience. Without the ability to be a chameleon, we would flounder in a life of selfish solidarity. In today's episode, Jay talks about his experience at a drag bar and Nappi talks about artificial happiness in the nightlife scene. Are we fake? No. We are all just authentically inauthentic and that's okay

Join us for R.J.'s coming out journey! R.J. and Jill discuss what they have learned from queerness, and how they are finding more self-love through listening to and having compassion for other people.

I'll start with a few admissions and caveats. I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of organized religion. I've dabbled in most of them, ranging from the modern, mainstream “hip” version of Christianity (where they encourage patrons to wear jeans and play Christian rock music at mass) to the Assembly of God (Pentecostals). I've attended Baptist, Mormon, and Episcopalian churches and I'm one of the very few people I know who has actually read the Qur'an.In the end, spirituality is for me, but not organized religion and believe you me, there is a very stark difference. Religion is the process and practice of humans telling other humans what to believe and how God will react…not to mention the collection of endless amounts of money along the way. I am, instead, like the majority of our founding fathers were, a deist; meaning that I acknowledge the existence of a supreme being and/or creator and who or what that looks like is not of your god damned business (pun intended). Deists also believe that this supreme being does not intervene in the universe…he is the ultimate believer in free will and doesn't have the time or inclination to actually plan out or interfere in the silly decisions humans are making on a day-to-day level, let alone our long term individual fates.In other words, everyone hates me in the spiritual world. Atheists think I'm a childish moron who, like others, believes in the man in the moon, and religious believers think I'm gutless and looking for a way to split the difference. I've heard it all from both sides. The thing that amazes me is that I am neither threatened nor upset at their beliefs, or lack thereof, but boy are most of them very concerned about mine. It might make one wonder or question their level of faith if one were so inclined.With all of that said, Pope Francis is a hypocritical moron who, quite frankly, needs to call it a career.I freely admit that I don't get the “Pope,” thing. Elevating a human on earth to near god-like status (which is absolutely what the Catholic Church does regardless of their spin) is, in and of itself, both absurd and creepy. That said, Pope Francis was ushered in as a change agent who was going to modernize the church. Despite being now 85 years old, he has been embraced by young believers for his acceptance and/or open-mindedness towards the LGBTQ community, women in the hierarchy, and even birth control. For much of his reign, Francis has shown a desire to move the church forward, while understanding that such changes must be done slowly and methodically to maintain the existing base of followers.https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2021/09/23/james-martin-pope-francis-lgbt-241483https://www.npr.org/2021/02/08/965261708/pope-francis-latest-moves-to-empower-women-in-roman-catholic-churchhttps://www.firstpost.com/world/let-couples-not-the-church-decide-on-contraception-pope-francis-writes-in-the-joy-of-love-2719410.htmlBut boy, did he miss the mark last week…and people noticed.Pope Francis, on Wednesday, January 5th, lamented that couples prefer pets to children. He said many “do not have children because they do not want to, or they have just one, but they have two dogs, two cats… dogs and cats take the place of children.”He said that parenthood provides "something fundamental, something important" in people's lives. He said there is "a form of selfishness" in couples deciding to have just one child (or none) and that this "is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity."This is not a new message by the Pontiff; in 2014 he made sure we all knew that having the audacity to be married and choose to neither have, adopt, nor raise any children would lead to a life of “bitterness and loneliness.”This is all too rich. Here we have a man who has never had children, never been married, and perhaps most notably, never had a dog, lecturing all of us on all three without being remotely connected with the delicious hypocrisy and vapidness of his comments. (Never mind the fact that we have no shortage of humans on this planet as we're primed to hit 8 billion this year).Let's start with the hypocrisy:The church talks the talk on families, but it doesn't walk the walk. Many of its beliefs and policies are decidedly not pro-family.Consider, for example, the second-class status married people have had in the church itself for centuries. For close to 900 years, the church has deemed celibacy crucial to a priest's vocation. By being unmarried, the priest more fully conforms to the life of Christ, and thus his role was more elevated spiritually. So which is it? Is this simply the Pope trying to save the souls of those of us not so spiritually elevated as he and others that we have chosen to instead give in to the temptation of flesh by pointing out that the least we can do is provide more humans who can ultimately tithe? (For, let's not pretend that in the end, all messages from all religions are motivated by one thing and one thing alone: money).Is now the time to mention the offspring of not-so-celibate priests? No one knows how many there are, but it appears thousands of children may be in this situation, and some may never have been told who their real father is nor have received sufficient child support as part of the decades-old child molestation scandal that has been beautifully brushed aside by the Church so worried about the precious children.Meanwhile, the pope endorses more adoption. But many Catholic social service agencies refuse to include gay couples as foster or adoptive parents. In judging loving gay unions as not “even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family,” the church cannot see the potential of gay Catholics as good parents.There's also the deep inconsistency between the pope's push for more children at the same time that he erects barriers to couples actually having them. Though he expresses empathy for couples struggling with infertility, church rules have been very picky about which fertility treatments can be approved. One treatment deemed unacceptable is in vitro fertilization, even if it only uses the husband's sperm and the wife's eggs. In part that's because children are not conceived the way God intended.IVF is “making children instead of accepting them as a gift,” Francis said in 2014. The church retains its opposition despite the fact that IVF often offers couples their only chance for children after other treatments have failed and has led to thousands of successful pregnancies.I could fill endless space with the hypocrisy of all religion, let alone on this particular subject, but alas, let's move on to the more salient point:In 2022, you can't expect people to believe we are simply here to breed. We are all individual humans with dreams and desires and goals. They don't always include having children. I know a lot of people like me who don't even like children.Many people, of course, choose to have children. Some have one, some have six. That is a choice they make, and I say more power to them, as long as they own the fact that they made that choice and the challenges that come with having brought lives into this world are theirs to bear and burden on their own, and they created their situation.And most importantly, people who choose to have children are in no way better or more human than those who choose not to. In many cases, the latter group is better, for we have recognized our own limitations and inabilities and decided not to pass those along to innocent lives who never asked to be brought into this world. As Oprah Winfrey acknowledged in 2013, had she chosen to have children, she would have had to choose the things in her life which had to be given the highest priority, and she knew she wouldn't have chosen her children. She would have chosen her career, and her kids would have both suffered and learned to quickly hate her. Is this the fate Pope Francis wishes upon all babies?To be clear, there are quite literally millions of Americans who have both children and thriving careers and interests; but they are motivated and driven by that. Many of us are not, and recognizing that is the least selfish thing a human can do. I'm not aware of any of us who have chosen not to have children who are pining to be rewarded, congratulated, or revered for our decisions, it would just be nice if we weren't demonized for it. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/why-oprah-never-had-kids-they-would-hate-me/article15964472/To the most appalling misstep of the Pope's comments, let us acknowledge an undeniable truth: dogs make us more human. They make us better. Dogs are, in fact, superior to most people.The idea that dogs are unlike children is ridiculous.Custody battles break out over dogs. Short of setting up a college fund, having a dog is as heavy a responsibility — one with an expiration date, with heartbreak for the human built into the deal.I've seen people grieve for their dogs harder and longer than they have for friends and family…dog parents know. To the extent that offends parents, go to hell and stop telling those of us who have chosen who and what to love differently than you that you are somehow better and more enlightened. And while you're at it, remember once again that you are aligning yourself with someone who we're being lectured at who happens to be a childless Pope who doesn't have a dog.Why begrudge people their dogs? Why such a heartless take on man's best friend? What a misstep for Pope Francis. Why not take his cue from the late Pope John Paul II, himself an actual beloved global figure, who once comforted a small boy grieving his dog with the reassurance that yes, all dogs go to heaven?“Animals,” John Paul II said, “are as near to God as men are.”Or perhaps we look to a potentially even greater spiritual leader, the late Mahatma Gandhi who famously said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”And need I remind all that Dog is God spelled backward? Coincidence or divine intervention?

Margaret Cho is an American stand-up comedian, actress, musician, fashion designer, and author. She is a proud Korean American who from her beginnings has discussed social and political problems, often regarding race and sexuality. I met Margaret years back in San Francisco and it was immediately clear to me that she was one special stand-up. Margaret is an actual legend. She has always been an advocate for the Asian community, the LGBTQ+ community, and basically all good humans. Margaret is a strong, loving, and charming person. This makes her performance skills as a comedian and actress even more accessible and wonderful. She has many great acting projects coming up. This week, on January 14th, she stars along with Paris Jackson in the premiere of the Hulu movie "Sex Appeal". She'll also be guest starring in "The Flight Attendant," for three episodes, which stars Kaley Cuoco & Rosie Perez. (Damn, I love that show.) She's also going to be seen co-starring in Hulu's movie, "Fire Island" with Bowen Yang & Joel Kim Booster later in the summer of 2022.  Her stand-up career is also stronger than ever—You owe it to yourself to see her on tour—And she has some really cool significant dates coming up soon, like playing The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on May 6 and The Greek Theatre on May 7th as part of the Netflix Is a Joke Comedy Festival.  Margaret has such a unique voice and has been a strong personal influence in the careers of Ken Jeong and Bowen Yang. After listening to this, you'll feel the same way I do… You want to be friends with the extraordinary and legendary Margaret Cho.  Website: MargaretCho.com Twitter: @margaretcho Instagram: @margaret_cho Facebook: @officialmargaretcho YouTube: @margaretchoofficial TikTok: @themargaretcho    Get 20% Off and Free Shipping with the code SAGET20 at Manscaped.com   Listen to Bob Saget's Here For You now: ​https://bit.ly/BobSagetsHereForYouPod Listen Anywhere!

There are a number of trend-based marketing strategies you can implement to achieve profit breakthroughs in 2022.   In today's episode, host Roland Frasier gives us the inside scoop on a lot of cool things going on right now in the business world. He walks us through the first five today and will share the rest in an upcoming episode.    Listen in if you want to stay on top of both what's happening now and what's coming down the pike.   Trend #1: ESG   This is one you hear a lot about in the investment banking world. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. There's a tremendous focus right now on sustainability and corporate responsibility to keep the environment healthy (E), doing social good (S), and building in protections against the companies doing bad things (G).   There are a lot of funds right now set up to do ESG investing. The more focused we are on being sustainable, environmentally-conscious, and socially responsible, the more we'll get business from these bigger companies focused on it. Consumers are demanding this too, so you're winning on both sides.   Ask yourself: what could I do in my business, or what business could I acquire to become more sustainable? Things like rethinking your supply chain, reducing your carbon footprint, and giving back environmentally. From a social perspective, what can I do to contribute? Give back to your local community or the world at large, or specific organizations like Black Lives Matter.   Trend #2: DEI    Yes, there are a lot of acronyms to keep track of. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.  From a diversity (D) standpoint, when it comes to the people working with us—at all levels of the business—we should be diverse both racially and socio-economically.    How can we get people of different genders, however they might identify, to get involved in the company so we can get different perspectives? How can we be friendly to the LGBTQ+ community? Not just people we're selling to, but people in management, in executive positions, on the board. Studies have shown that diverse companies are more profitable, come up with more ideas, and are more innovative.   The equity (E) part is how do we give people ownership and have stakeholders that are diverse? Stakeholders who will profit and be uplifted by their involvement and the things they contribute to the company.   Inclusion (I) is very broad. How are we going to be aware of all these different interests out there, and how can we serve them? What opportunities do we have in the company to bring these diverse viewpoints in and how can we facilitate this? There's a lot of money flowing to companies that are DEI-aware. This is a huge trend and theme in 2022, and will probably go for the rest of this decade.    Trend #3: The Great Resignation   There's a whole flow of people, mostly young people, leaving their jobs saying, “I'm not happy with where I am. I'm not happy with the progress I'm making, with the prospects I have of getting to do something profitable and fulfilling and socially responsible.” People want to contribute to the world, feel good, and take care of themselves.   The Great Resignation is creating real problems for businesses. The opportunity here to think about is: how do we serve all the people who are leaving the workforce and starting businesses for the first time? People want to be entrepreneurs and go into business for themselves.    Starting a business is really hard, so you're going to see people wanting to reenter the workforce, but in better jobs. We'll need career counselors, headhunters, people to help those who failed in businesses and have challenges, business coaches, career training, etc. Anything that will serve the significant portion of people who are working remotely.   Trend #4: Reallocating the Supply Chain   For the past two years, there's been a big challenge in getting goods. We're seeing huge inflation rates. A lot of it has to do with a catch-up period after production was reduced or completely stopped when the pandemic hit.   There are 96 cargo ships in the LA/Long Beach port right now backed up. This will be worked out, but will probably take a couple years. Big opportunity: how can I reallocate the supply chain?    A lot of companies that were acquiring supplies from overseas don't want to get blindsided again and will move some/all of their manufacturing to North America (Mexico or the U.S.). If you can look and find markets where labor and location is inexpensive, this will be profitable.   Trend #5: AI   A lot of humans are being replaced with AI (Artificial Intelligence) right now and this is only the beginning. There's a huge need for companies with the ability to integrate AI with humans. We have AI agencies where AI is writing campaign ads and copy, and it's coming out better than what the humans were writing. The AI is winning. We're hitting the point where computer intelligence is exceeding human beings.   Where's the profit here? Get involved in AI verticalizations. Be part of the companies that are providing AI solutions, AI integrations, helping companies integrate AI, training people to service and work the AI as an AI technician, displacement training to help the people being displaced by AI.    These are five of the biggest trends Roland believes will provide some very profitable opportunities in 2022 and beyond.
