Why would anyone open a custom motorcycle parts and accessories store in the small town of Stratford, Ontario? Located in Perth County, Stratford is the home of the Stratford Festival featuring Shakespeare productions, and very much a destination for theatre going tourists from around the world.  This is hardly the place I expected to find a wonderful motorcycle shop catering to all kind of enthusiasts and all varieties of motorcycles ... but there it is. I don't think anyone would deny there's a discernible bias toward old school choppers, bobbers, cafe racers and other similar genres. That bias does not prevent Perth County Moto from stocking accessories and apparel for cruisers, dual sports, and other styles.The owners of this most unlikely store are a humble, young couple who absolutely love motorcycles and the community of enthusiasts they not only serve, but socialize and associate with. Jeff and Lindz seem to be building their business on hospitality. Perth County Moto has a great customer lounge area with a coffee bar and ice cream shop. There's always some kind of event going on at PCM whether is the Wednesday bike night, movie night, Moto GP races on the TV, swap meet, annual anniversary party, or other event Jeff has come up with. These folks just want to be with their community.Maybe Jeff and Lindz are brilliant and have figured out how to be successful by starting a business with the least likelihood of success. Maybe they just didn't hear everyone who tried to tell them what a bad idea this was. Regardless, I'm glad they stepped up against the odds, tried something different, and have created one of the coolest motorcycle destination shops in Canada.

Pride is still in full swing and so I asked friend of the pod Mx. Lindz Amer of Queer Kids Stuff back on the pod to talk about the state of gays in reality tv and beyond! We also chat about their amazing web series geared towards creating safe, educational, and fun videos for LGBTQIA+ kids and their families!! Like Mister Rogers, but somehow gayer. PLEASE take a second to check out their instagrams and consider supporting them in fundraising to bring back Queer Kids Stuff! @queerkidsstuff @mxlindz https://www.instagram.com/queerkidstuff/?hl=en https://www.queerkidstuff.com Follow us on insta @datecardpod Twitter @datecardpodcast Tiktok @datecardpodcast @jennawithasmile  Art: Olivia Zakes Green https://www.oliviazakesgreen.com/ Music: Jed Overly @jeddyboyjames  https://www.flowcode.com/page/jeddyjames Proud podcast of So Below Media

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants every kid to have access to queer role models and positive LGBTQ+ representation.  This week Leigh (@lshfoster) hangs out solo with Lindz Amer (@mxlindz), the creator of the web series Queer Kid Stuff (@queerkidstuff) and author of the inclusive parenting book, Rainbow Parenting: Your Guide to Raising Queer Kids and their Allies, and the children's book, Hooray for She, He, Ze, and They!: What Are Your Pronouns Today?. Lindz travels to schools and libraries across the country to talk to children, parents, and educators about the importance of affirming childrens' identities. They are also a consultant for mainstream preschool media (for example, Lindz created a nonbinary character for Paw Patrol that unfortunately resulted in quite a bit of backlash from outraged conservative parents because of course it did).  Lindz is currently working to reboot their award-winning preschool web series Queer Kid Stuff through a Kickstarter campaign which runs through July 5th.  For those of you who are unfamiliar, Queer Kid Stuff is basically the LGBTQ+ inclusive version of Mr. Rogers that we all wish we'd had growing up. Leigh spoke with Lindz about their dreams for the new and improved Queer Kid Stuff, what they have learned about early childhood education and how best to teach queer concepts since releasing the original web series, their journey to recognizing and embracing their transness and becoming a more authentic version of themselves, and why in the face of horrific LGBTQ+ youth mental health statistics, positive media representation is more important than ever for both kids and caregivers alike.  In today's age, it isn't enough to only educate and direct content at LGBTQ+ people. We also need to educate and raise allies in our effort to normalize queerness everywhere. Statistics show that when educators, parents, and caregivers support children's sexual and gender identities through the use of affirming language and respecting their chosen pronouns, the risks of queer youth harming themselves goes down by a whopping 50%. With so many recent attempts to censor queerness in childrens' media including the banning of drag storytime at libraries, as well as the censorship of school and library books that reference queerness in any way, it is critical that we as a community push back and continue to do everything in our power to teach kids how to live authentically and proudly as their truest selves.  Follow us on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Venture into the heart of vulnerability and faith in this enlightening episode of Unholy Union. Lindz and Russ sit down with Reverend Katie O'Dunne, a beacon of hope for those entwined in the struggle between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and their spiritual beliefs. Katie, the founder of Faith and Mental Health Integrative Services, shares her intimate journey from the crippling grip of undiagnosed OCD to becoming a champion for evidence-based treatment within faith traditions.As a chaplain grappling with the paradox of her own mental health and her role as a spiritual guide, Katie's story unveils the harsh realities of religious stigma against mental illness and the liberating path to reclaiming one's faith through acceptance and therapy. They discuss the nuances of religious scrupulosity, the subtype of OCD that entangles the devout in a web of fear and compulsion, and the challenge of distinguishing devout practices from the disorder's deceptive whispers.Katie's dual identity as an ordained minister and an advocate for OCD awareness sheds light on the critical need for culturally sensitive approaches to treatment. She emphasizes the power of "sticking with the ick" – embracing the discomfort of intrusive thoughts to move towards healing and personal values.In a turn towards the extraordinary, Katie reveals her ambitious quest: tackling 50 ultramarathons to raise funds and awareness for OCD treatment—one state at a time. Her upcoming iOS app, "Stick with the Ick," promises to be a sanctuary for those seeking support in their darkest hours.Whether you're seeking solace in spirituality, battling the shadows of mental health, or simply yearning for a story of triumph over adversity, join Lindz and Russ for a conversation that transcends the boundaries of mind and spirit.---Guest Info:Reverend Katie O'DunneWebsiteInstagramIOCDF Faith & OCD Resource Page - https://iocdf.org/faith-ocd/IOCDF Faith & OCD ConferenceIOCDF Provider Directory - https://iocdf.org/find-help/Stick with the Ick Community Launch Updates - https://www.revkatieodunne.com/stickwiththeick ---Timestamps:(00:02:08) Reverend Katie O'Dunne shares her personal journey with OCD and how it led her to her work in faith and mental health.(00:09:42) The stigma of mental health in religious communities and the importance of seeking treatment.(00:19:14) The challenges of navigating ERP therapy within religious practices and finding a balance between discomfort and disrespect.(00:42:27) Discussion about the upcoming iOS app for faith in OCD(00:43:26) Importance of running toward one's values(00:45:06) What Katie would do if they won $10,000,000 ---Want more of the show?

In Act 2 of Episode 67: “The Power of Queer Joy!,” Courtney continues her conversation with guest Lindz Amer. Their chat pivots in tone and substance from Act 1, which was focused on what it means to be a child that is free to explore and to keep that inner child alive as an adult. Act 2 focuses in on Lindz's work as a content creator and the myriad differences between creating and distributing online content, and creating their longform, non-fiction book, “Rainbow Parenting: Your Guide to Raising Queer Kids and Their Allies.” One (of many) interesting parts of this conversation is centered around Lindz's journey away from and back to programming for young audiences, and realizing the importance of feeling and expressing Queer joy in spaces and through content that have not traditionally held space for that joy or narrative.

Step into the digital crossroads where technology meets humanity in this thought-provoking episode of Unholy Union. Lindz and Russ delve into the perplexing world of tech layoffs, with Google's billion-dollar severance packages raising eyebrows and questions about the future of work. They ponder whether an AI arms race is contributing to a job apocalypse, as artificial intelligence begins to show signs of deception, resistance, and perhaps, a hint of sentience.  The conversation shifts to the potential and peril of Neuralink's brain implants, debating the technology's promise against the backdrop of dystopian fears. As they weave through the implications of AI in our daily lives, they touch on Netflix's new adaptations and the pressure of nostalgia in entertainment, questioning the need to resurrect classics like Beetlejuice and the wisdom of remaking treasured series.  From the cautionary tales of travel safety to the lighter moments of family bonding over Fortnite and Roblox, this episode strikes a balance between serious reflection and playful banter. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a true crime aficionado, or just someone trying to navigate the ever-changing landscape of modern life, join Russ and Lindz for a journey through the fascinating and sometimes frightening frontiers of our time. --- Want more of the show?

On this episode of the Unholy Union Russ and Lindz discuss their experiences with OCD, depression, addiction, and social anxiety, and share advice for supporting loved ones dealing with mental illness. Russ and Lindz emphasize that anyone can struggle with mental health, and that it is important to remember that mental illness is not a choice. They also share their experiences with therapy and the importance of balance. Ultimately, Russ and Lindz advocate treating people with mental health issues with care and understanding. They emphasize the crucial role of hope and support in recovery. Here are some of the key takeaways from this episode: Mental health is a spectrum, and everyone experiences it differently. There is no shame in seeking help for mental health issues. Therapy and medication can be helpful in treating mental illness. Exercise and other healthy coping mechanisms can also help to improve mental health. It is important to have a support system in place when you are struggling with mental health. People with mental health issues are just like everyone else. They deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.  If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out for help. There are many resources available, and you don't have to go through this alone. Here are some resources that can help: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) MentalHealth.gov: A website of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that provides information and resources on mental health  Here are some additional tips for supporting someone with mental health issues: Listen without judgment. Offer your support and encouragement. Help them to find resources and treatment options. Be patient and understanding.

We're back with Episode 62, Act 2: “Make Space, Give Grace,” featuring Caitlyn McCain, Teaching Artist and Education Associate for Public Engagement with New York City Children's Theater (NYCCT), and Lindz Amer, creator of the video series “Queer Kids Stuff” and author of the book, “Rainbow Parenting.” This act is packed with rich discussion about gender and the conversations happening now in legislative bodies and learning spaces across the country about how we see (or don't see) and understand (or don't understand) gender. In their chat, the second in our three-part series, “In Conversation with ‘Start the Conversation,'” Courtney, Caitlyn and Lindz cover topics like pushing back against the current wave of anti-LGBTQIA legislation on the federal and local levels, book bannings and filling the void of Queer representation in TYA. In an effort to confront all of these issues, they discuss a shared interest: developing engaging education content that invites adults to have big conversations with kids about a range of topics from LGBTQIA+ identities to the non-binary and gender spectrum. Listen to this thoughtful episode to hear more!

The Grounded Futures Show, Ep 23: Queer Brilliance, with Lindz Amer “I hope that I can put a little bit of healing out into the world because I think we just need a lot more of that. There are a lot of hurt people out there.” We had a pretty healing and joyful conversation with the fabulous writer, educator, and performer, Lindz Amer!  We talked about the importance of creating queer affirming media for little Kids (and their adults), joyfully stitching back together intergenerational connections within the LGBTQ+ communities, and traversing non-affirming spaces. We also get into the muck and nuance of tough topics and realities, such as anti-trans, transmisogyny, the many genders, sexuality, gender performance, power & privilege, socialisation, smashing the cis-hetero-patriarchy, and so much more.

When I was a kid, nobody talked to me at all about queer people, except maybe to tell me that they were sinful and going to hell. I don't think I really even started to learn about queerness in any way other than the negative until I was in high school. And even then, it wasn't exactly what I would call affirming. And I know my experience isn't uncommon.Times have really changed when it comes to the acceptance of the queer community by the dominant cishet society that we live in in the U.S. and it has opened to door to having conversations with kids about queerness and gender much earlier and in a much more positive way.The problem is because so few of us parents had a positive introduction to this, there are lots of questions about when and how to start these conversations with our kids.We need resources for talking to kids about queerness.And that's where today's guest comes in.Lindz Amer (they/them) is the founder and CEO of Queer Kids Creative, a digital entertainment company spreading queer joy and queer-focused intersectional, all-ages media. They wrote, produced, and co-hosted Queer Kid Stuff, an original LGBTQ+ educational web series for ages three and up, for four season and over 50 episodes. They continue to perform QKS music and stories at schools, museums, libraries, and local LGBTQ+ centers all over the country.They also produce and host a family-friendly podcast called Activist You, where they explore social justice topics through interviews with kids and youth activists.
