every other week
we take a queer movie, book or game — we figure out what’s queer about it and what it can teach us about our own experiences growing up queer. we reflect on our privilege and learn to be better allies by learning from stories, each other and from our listeners.
friends, allies, queers
where do I belong?

(he/they) - a huge NERD who spends too much time on the internets. the way to mike’s heart is through shitty puns and food. self-proclaimed Nintendo baby, they can often be found with their Switch, over a puzzle, or cross-stitching. he’s always thinking about his next tattoos. near ∞ meme-ory.

ex-academic • Harm-reductionist • genderqueer • neurodivergent • white • poly • kinky • U.S. citizen •
(they) - in 2019 I left a PhD program to work in a syringe exchange. I’d been studying addiction science and drug policy from a cultural anthropology perspective. I sing. I play tabletop and video games. I cook. I sometimes write fiction. I’m learning tarot. I love my dog. I knew I was gay in fourth grade, but I’m just now starting to figure out my gender.
when we started making the q/p podcast, I was going by the name Taylor. You can read more about my experience changing my pronouns and names (while starting a podcast) here

El
first-gen academic • baby queer • white • bi • demisexual • monogamous • happy • cis • european • able-bodied & chronically ill •
(she) - el writes, most of the time on her PhD thesis and other projects. biggest fear is making mistakes. on her way, and not yet there, to live her truth and be queer in a world where that’s almost never the default. helping people is her passion; sometimes she doesn’t know when to stop and listen. sings & boxes & plays games. fluent in sarcasm and two other languages. connections mean everything to her. when she’s in, she’s in.
