Poly-Saturated - LGBTQIA News PolySaturated on politics ... After a whirlwind of a crazy unplanned hiatus, we pull a deep one out on you all for this episode. Trigger warnings out the wazoo everyone. It's a tear-jerker. We cried while recording and then again while relistening to the edited version. We even do a not-typical-for-us move and go political. This episode is intense at points and leaves us exposed and vulnerable in ways we're typically not inclined to offer others, let alone the...

Episode 80 - Are you really poly? Are you though? Poly? Really? .... but, no, seriously? Are you really? In this episode we take a long and winding trip through how sometimes it's hard to believe people because they are in the habit of using words that mean different things than they think they mean. They also try to shoehorn themselves into titles. We go into all of it. Join us for our usual antics and off-roading adventures in discussing why we question when someone says they're...

Episode 78 - Defining Expectations We, as creatures of expecting, expect expectations except when they're expected of us. We should expect only what we've defined to those we expect things from for our expectations to be met, only when we have explicitly explained in expressed detail for our expectations to be met - and yet we should remain fluid in both our expecting and having our expectations expedited.

Societal expectations are usually just a reflection of a strange protocol we're supposed to follow that adheres to the standards of someone else's inner moral code. Any step outside of their comfort zone comes along with the expectation that we should feel guilt or shame for not adhering to their personal programs which generally develop out of unhealthy programs that were passed down to them. It's all bs. We talk about it all in this episode. The other stuff Find all Episodes on...

Labels, lanes, titles, definitions - as limiting as they are, they can also help in building confidence and like-minded community. Some labels stick for the rest of our lives. Some of them peel away to reveal the newest version of ourselves. If you're like us, you'll learn a few new terms. If you're the Grand Poobah of everything, this will be a refresher. Either way, hopefully you'll have a laugh or two or a realization or three. The other stuff Find all Episodes on...
