Christmas doesn't have to be merry - sometimes it's ok just to get through the day.

This isn't a podcast episode. There are no jokes, no fun stories, and no theme music. It's just me, being angry and sad about Brianna Ghey.

New episodes are coming soon, so there'll be plenty of that then. Check in on your friends. Th...

Coming out as bi, non-binary, and grey-ace later (but not *late*) in life means there might be awkward conversations with your kid. Also paperwork. So much paperwork.
