Ethics is the triumph of freedom over facticity. *AIR HORNS AIR HORNS AIR HORNS* Chairman Bane is joined by an all-star cast of comrades to discuss The Ethics of Ambiguity by the YAS KWEEN of existentialism, Simone De Beauvoir. This is an episode years in the making from the old Red Library days that needed the format and vibes of Subjective Conditions to finally come alive. Is ethics just a game to you? Maybe it should be. Inside you are 3 wolves: a beta, an alpha, and a sigma. Which one controls your life and freedom? The one you choose to feed.

This week, Alma and Dalia sit down with Joe and Trace from Horror Queers of the Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. Y'all, grab yourself some coffee, tea, or whatever beverage is comfort mode, wrap yourself up in a cozy blanket because this is a good one. We discuss queer horror (duh), podcast inception, foreign horror, and so much more. Trace talks about those lost 20 minutes of their podcast that will never be heard and the why, and Joe shares his love for French Extremity.  Horror Queers Podcast: Every week Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman tackle a horror film with LGBTQ+ themes, a high camp quotient or both. For these lifelong queer horror fans, there's as much value in serious discussions about representation as there is in reading a ridiculously silly/fun horror film with a YAS KWEEN mentality.

In this episode of Birth Kweens, Tema Mercado, LM, CPM talks to the Kweens about postpartum healing rituals. Tema is a Xicana mother of five children, wife, and licensed midwife. She has dedicated the past 18 years of her life to serving women in various capacities – Gang Intervention Specialist, Sexual Assault Counselor, Perinatal Health Educator, Teen Parent Advocate, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and Birth Doula. After being a doula for some time, Tema came to a crossroads. Being a doula meant she could support many women within the hospital setting, but it also meant she must bear witness to some of the traumatic routine hospital practices. She knew as a Doula that her care in the hospital was limited to the care provider and that if she wanted her clients to receive more dignified care that she would have to become their care provider. Tema received full funding to Midwifery School and completed her three years of clinical practice at Birth Roots Maternity and Women’s Health Center in Chula Vista, CA. She provides services on both sides of the border to families searching for a Parto Humanizado. She's board member of the California Association of Licensed Midwives and President of the Baja California State Board of the Mexican Association of Midwifery. She is well-versed in the practice of postpartum sealing rituals and was kind enough to share some of that info with the Birth Kweens. Here’s an overview of what you’ll hear in this podcast: Tema’s entry into birth work and how her training as a sexual assault counselor prepared her to be a great doula Why Tema decided to make the shift from doula work to midwifery and how challenging and painful it is to bear witness to obstetric violence at the hands of another care provider The tenets of a nurturing and thorough postpartum care routine (and how many of the things involved are simple and intuitive practices) How hospital-based birth workers can incorporate some of the most important postpartum care rituals into hospital births The role that belly binding can play in postpartum healing – how to do it, when to do it, and how long to continue it for How one of the unfortunate side effects of advancements in medicine has been a lack of personal responsibility for one’s own health and how this manifests in maternity care specifically Tema’s thoughts about the role that cultural appropriation plays in sharing the postpartum healing rituals of indigenous cultures What Tema does during one of her postpartum sealing rituals The role that herbs/herbal remedies play in postpartum healing and how establishing a relationship with the plants you use is an essential part of this process The book Karly mentioned about herbs – Plant Spirit Medicine: A Journey Into the Healing Wisdom of Plants Click here to check out Tema’s online store where she sells belly binding wraps, rebozos, fajas, and herbs Support our sponsor!Order your own FemmyCycle menstrual cup today by going to www.FemmyCycle.com/BirthKweens and entering the code “kweens” at checkout.

In the latest episode, Callie and Emily dive into Season 4 of Broad City. Yas Kween! We dig in to the crucial guest stars (RuPaul FTW), we debate whether money really does change everything, and we even tackle the accusations of cultural appropriation that have dogged the show since Season One.

Let's just say you wouldn't want to be a young virgin in the time of King Xerxes. This guy is pretty much a monster. Meet Esther and find out how she catches his eye. Yas Kween! Not your mother's Bible study and made for everyone no matter your religious affiliation, enjoy insane stories that will have you wondering what comes next.

Presented as part of Hey Girl, this panel discussion, hosted by comedian Judith Lucy, will look at girls on screen in a special evening dedicated to dissecting some of the funniest and fetchest pop-culture favourites. Featuring Mel Campbell, Jessica Knight, Billie Tumarkin and Candy Bowers this conversation is suited to girls, anyone who was once a girl and anybody who knows a girl. It’s hard to know whether to cheer or groan at the success of Lena Dunham’s hit TV show Girls. On one hand, it’s encouraging to see real, imperfect female bodies on screen. On the other hand, it’s depressing that such images are still revolutionary. ‘There's people who don't want to see bodies like mine, or bodies like their own bodies,’ Dunham has said. Girls is just one show that has inspired some fiery debates about female representation and diversity in popular culture. Our panel – comprising some of the smartest young women we know – will also respond to clips from Broad City, Freaks & Geeks, The Katering Show, Puberty Blues and, of course, Mean Girls. Can we see ourselves in these characters? Who is left out in representations of girls on screen? What power do these representations hold over our imaginations? And could there ever be a show about girls as gross as The Inbetweeners?

A brand new chat with Coko, 1/2 of the improv duo Coko & Daphney and Yas Kween mainstay! We discuss the Toronto improv scene, cultural influences that have shaped her comedic sensibilities, and finding your way to your authentic voice.
