Hint: fish. Tune into this episode if you’ve ever wondered why straight men are so … gay? Ashton takes a biographical deep-dive into the person and musical genius that SOPHIE was, and how her impact lives on in music today. Cricket unpacks the origins of queerbaiting, “emo” and how the Madonna-Whore Complex has consistently plagued the scene for over a decade. We took some time this episode to explore queer artists whose identities were expressed and evolved though music, sound, and vibration. We also get some fun interludes from guests who are much better attuned to a Scottish accent than we could ever hope to be.

From the cultural roots of coffee to third-wave coffee and its’ modern-day role as a catalyst for capitalism, coffee has a complex history filled with colonialism and thievery. In this episode, we explore coffee’s journey from a local queen into a global phenomenon and consider the other purposes caffeine serves in the more-than-human world. We also pose the question, why do queer people seem so drawn to coffeehouses and coffee culture? What we found is that our relationship with coffee is a bittersweet one. While coffee can be a vehicle for resistance and liberation for some, it also serves as the driver of the continued exploitation of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Come along with us and we find out what made the divas have a change of heart, taking coffee from the “Satanic bean” it once was to a drink we clamor for on a daily basis.

Contrary to the doom and gloom we typically associate images of the post-human world with, the word “apocalypse” has roots in both change and revolution. We explore how capital and religion have utilized power and fear to morph its’ modern connotations. And what of urban collapse, you ask? Think of cities like Chicago, New York, Tokyo - all of these seem like behemoths of construction that will long outlast us. Funnily enough, if we humans were to disappear today, nature has an entirely different plan. Our anthropological footprint will remain on the earth in various forms, but how fast could nature begin to reclaim a city like NYC if we humans just evaporated? While seemingly indestructible, this heavy-ass concrete jungle is more fragile than you could believe. In typical O.o.E fashion, we seek to find ways to center community and belonging as mobilizing forces in the face of catastrophe and collapse with, of course, some nonsensical digressions.

Join us (and a special guest 😀) as we discuss food systems, community gardens, and the commons! Why do so many of us not know where our foods come from and who is the culprit behind this? Our government and its legislation often fall short in addressing the root of the problems regarding the unequal distribution of resources. The narrative is often that we, as individuals and local communities, have little power in combating this, but is that actually the case? Together, we explore the power of community and culture in creating regenerative, equitable, and accessible community food systems.

Systems of power - economic, social, and political - are constantly shaping and redefining how we think of our houses, as well as how we view those without houses. How can we move beyond this separation between housed and unhoused communities for more liberatory ideas of home? Auto-constructed housing and encampments have historically been used as tools of resistance, making political and social statements by changing the geographies of the places they are built within. The reclamation of physical spaces not only make political statements, but offer us visions of community outside of the ones we’ve been given. Only by understanding the line between home and homelessness as a site of shared struggle against larger systems can we begin to create more equitable and restorative conceptions of home in the face of our modern housing crisis.
