As we were researching the difference between sexual and romantic attraction, we stumbled upon “squish” and “zucchini” as terms of endearment for queerplatonic relationships. Our favorite quote that we resonated with from our very limited research was “language will never suffice to describe the human experience because it's much too vast, but the more words we have to choose from, the more likely we are to find something that fits." Listen in to our real-time learning of the asexual and aromantic spectrum.

The journey that it took us to get this episode recorded was emotionally challenging, but this topic truly means a lot to us. Our conversation navigates the relationship we each have with grief, touches on the difference between grief and grieving, and weaves through the 8 different types of grief. Please be gentle with us as we process through this deep vulnerability.

Hello Dope Souls, weeeee’re baaaaack! Whether it’s seasons of the year or seasons in your life, change is a constant. In our first episode of 2023, we talk about different types of seasons (birthday, weather, astrological, life) and new years (Lunar New Year). And we spend time reflecting on highlights and learnings from the past season and our intention for this next season.

A few days to the end of 2022 and here we are–reflecting on what a season it has been. In this episode, we share our joys: Britney Griner’s release, the Respect for Marriage Act, and Mauna Loa’s powerful eruption. Amidst the full moon in Gemini, we also dive a little bit into mundane astrology and how we are moving into a new era as a collective. As we wind down the year, we are grateful for you all and send you so much love wherever you may be. We’ll be taking a creative rest after this episode…and will be back in February 2023. Love y’all!

When we decided to learn more about rest, we didn’t realize there was a whole range of different kinds of rest. In this episode, we talk about the different kinds and how these can be built into our every day to day life. Mary also pays homage to Tricia Hersey who has written a book - Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto.

In this episode, we explore the current atmosphere in the world regarding LGBTQ affairs. We add a spin of our feelings and opinions to some of the news pieces we explore like Britney Griner’s 9 year sentence. It’s not all doom and gloom, we also highlight some groundbreaking good news.

We get on a deeper level as we learn more about our family upbringings. For us, revisiting our childhood and the memories that may have caused trauma is a path to having more fulfilling relationships and experiences through healing. Love on yourself hard, give grace to your family, and have healthy boundaries to heal your inner child.

A continuation from the previous episode, we talk movies and docu-series–not just any movies, but those with queer representation, what we like about them, and the themes that speak to us through the characters. Listen in and share some of your top queer movies with us.

QUEER•LY is really about doing life in community.
We are Mary and Jenny.
Join us as we take you through the journey of coming out in our 30s. We'll laugh, we'll cry, and we'll celebrate our joys as we navigate our newfound identities.
Even if it has really been great to see LGBTQIA+ representation grow in the media and all around us, there's always room for MORE! As Queer People of Color, we are here to share our experiences and add our voices to the narrative.
Jenny is Vietnamese-American and Mary is all the way from Uganda. We are worlds apart, but the universe has brought us together through our shared love for Community.
We are queer and we are here to take up space.
Love y'all!
