Ashley and Jaye sharing sexual trauma the week I have my hearing in court about my SA is fate. I feel like it shows I will be ok one day just like these two super strong women. Thank you both very much - especially Ashley because you'rre sharing this with YOUR audience
I don't do resolutions, however, I want to work on embracing my queerness. I am 43 and recently realized that I am Bi. I mean I have always felt attraction to women and always wrote it off as caring deeply for them. It is entertaining to look back at my life and see those interactions and feeling for what they were. It's really sad to see how I wrote those feelings off as not real.
100% love how you explained the difference between a slur and a phrase. People do need to deal with their shit. We all have triggers. Love listening to the pod! Saw you in MN in December and it was the highlight of my year!!
THANK YOU for talking about the unaliving thing! It's been winding me up 😅 If we're talking about suicide, changing what we call it in no way affects how we feel. So let's not pussyfoot around an extremely ugly subject by giving it a silly name. Either call or what it is, or don't talk about it if that's your preference.
Do our dreams feel insurmountable? Sir-Mountable sounds like a drag king name. Or maybe if it doesn't work out with Peg-Me on Feeld, then Maddie can move on to Sir-Mountable. Same thing right?
The algorithm is going to censor this video because of the title :/ it’s not going to be pushed to as many people as it could. Changing the lettering / a single letter will help. Like the i to a !
This podcast makes me look forward to Mondays 🥹 I love it so much. Ashley, I saw your Toronto show in December and I’ve not laughed that hard in so long. Please never stop 🙌🏾 I’ve been a silent patron for ages cause I didn’t think I had anything worth commenting. My resolution this year is to be more vocal about the things I love and to let people know how much I love them/their work. So here’s me making good on that I guess 😅 happy new year to the WHGS crew and my fellow little bottoms!
my new year's resolution is to continue to advocate for myself in taking care of my chronic pain management. i always hate going to the doctor to continuously say i'm in pain bc it's nothing new and i feel like they can't do anything about it, but it's more important to ask for help than it is to worry about putting them out or bothering them or something.
my resolution last year was to be more willing to be a little bit stoned in public. (just a little bit, you know) why should i limit myself in the name of perfectionism! whats the harm if I`m a little spaced out in the checkout line! I might cost the person behind me an extra 45 seconds, boo-hoo! I am allowed to take up that time and space. I think this year I`m just going to try to have fewer illusons with myself.
I think the show at the Lincoln Theater was about as big a venue as I’d ever want to be in for comedy. Granted I was pretty close to the stage. I’ve never liked resolutions. But if there were one thing, I’d say getting started on HRT and getting my transition fully underway. I think that’s probably the most important thing for me, in the coming year.
unfortunately, people who have been coddled or online their whole lives have a level of entitlement that makes them believe others should work around their problems rather than just working on their own shit. i wouldn't even call those people sensitive, i would just call them entitled and annoying. im a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns. i have common sense, i know that people (especially older people) are going to assume i'm either a girl or a boy. everyone's human, we make mistakes and assumptions that are wrong sometimes. what i HATE is when i politely correct someone and they make a big deal of apologizing and saying how bad they feel. it's embarrasing for both of us. just correct yourself and be slightly more conscious of your language in the future. it'll be okay, i promise
Maddie's laugh is rubbing off on Ashley😂 plus I feel like Ashley has changed her formula for this podcast or is it me I kinda miss the older versions. I still like it though.
Yeah, I've had some pretty random small things set me off, and triggers do vary so much person to person. Active PTSD is fucking exhausting, so while I deeply appreciate TWs for the serious discussions when I need to avoid them, the reality is that 1) we can't anticipate all our triggers and 2) the world doesn't come with a trigger warning. I also agree that changing the terms isn't useful. The alternative terms still refer to the same thing, and like, our brains are gonna pick up on that? To everyone who has dealt with PTSD and trauma, hats off to you. It's not easy. And I encourage anyone who hasn't gotten help to do so. We might always have scars, but we really can find healing. 💕
I really want to come to the Calgary show but it's 8 hours away for me! I'm hoping that college midterms don't land on that because I'm hoping to go if they're not.
