Podcast Episode 12: Elre the Metamour!
Meet my metamour, Elre! We recorded this episode back in April 2019 and I'm so glad it's finally being shared with the world, especially during Pride month!

Then we watched the premiere of Dancing With the Stars (and… Continue reading Of Sharts and Friends

Wipe the Glass (Happy Birthday, Tony.)
He'd have been 55 today. I didn't want it to affect me, but I can't pretend it didn't.

And still feeling off on… Continue reading Wipe the Glass (Happy Birthday, Tony.)
