Speaker 1: the legacies, geniuses and brilliances of women and fans of color,

Speaker 1: you know, a little a little something. Yes, the us.

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: You know, we got some feedback from our listeners. We

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: got some requests that we do more episodes like we

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: used to or it was just the two of us talking. Yes,

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: our interviews are amazing. All of our interviews, like the

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: past few months have been so incredible, so incredible. I

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: also want to say, like our tagline is that we

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: are archiving the geniuses and legacies, and the part of

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: that is interviewing the so many dope creators like within

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: our circle or just like out there doing the damn thing.

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: So also really important to us that of color y'all

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: get to know them because we also can't like us

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: to like cannot talk about everything because we don't experience everything, right,

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: which is why we have guests to bring up their

27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: own expertise. And again, like we see so many of

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: our friends doing incredible ship and people that we look

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: up to or that we've been following for a long time, artists,

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: creators especially, you know, like folks of color who are

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: really creating like our canon and who are making history. Right.

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Think about like when we were in even in middle school,

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: elementary school, right, and I know, like as a literature major,

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: like the cannon was white men. Right, Everything that was

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: like important in history and that was worthy of learning

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: was by white people, right. But we're flipping the damn

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: scripts and we are archiving. We are interviewing the amazing

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: creators of color, the women of color, the fems of

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: color that are like creating you know, that's narrating our

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: one political climate to our lives three like what we

41
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: enjoy you know, Yeah, and I it's the type of

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: thing where like you know, however, many years from now,

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: just like we do today and like we do online

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: and on our Instagrams and our Tumblers and our Twitters

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: and everything like that and shout we yeah, you know,

46
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: we look to like moheads and fems in the past

47
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: who we're doing cool ship, and we commemorate them and

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: we celebrate them. We're hoping that we can like have

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: a source to continue that tradition to the future, like

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: in Maagin and like ten years from now, someone writing

51
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: a dissertation about and all the artists that we interviewed

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: like manifest right, and where and then where all these

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: artists going to be? Where will we be twenty years

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: from now? You know what I mean? The story. So

55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: it's just so amazing and it's so important to us,

56
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: especially like we've talked about this, but like where is

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: our history for queer people? Like we have been in

58
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: history forever, right, but like where's the documentation for people

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: of color, for women of color, for survivors? Where is that?

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: Like this is where it's at, right, the community memory. Yes,

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: this is why it's important. Also, if you're creating stuff,

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: always put the date, like put the year, like se

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: us stand from when Cheeseman taught me that. When I

64
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: was taking classes with him and we made a flyer together,

65
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: he was always put the date because that is how

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: people will look at your history and no, you were

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: doing this in that year, your chronology, this year, this

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: time period, this place where in l A. Of course

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: we've done interviews with people out of state and even

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: in different countries, different continents. But you know, I think

71
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: the fact that we're in Los Angeles, our proximity to Hollywood,

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the Me Too movement, our survivors center of material, the

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: fact that it's this is focused on women in firms

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: of color, survivors of color. I think this is a

75
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: particular sort of narrative that not a lot of other

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: people are doing, not in the podcast world, not necessarily,

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: like even in journalism or written work. Like I think

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: that we're pretty niche in that way, and for us,

79
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: that's special. And you know, like we have made it

80
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: a point where there are some things in the news

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: cycle that we will cover. Um. But as you know,

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: like it has been a very intense two weeks and

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: even longer, like not only with the hashtag me too,

84
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: but also with like the recent like Supreme Court justice

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: nomination of yeah, Brett Kavanaugh. So yeah, you know, so

86
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: it's been a really really intense time and like we

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: our brains are not meant to be traumatized. We're not

88
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: meant to um intake all of this trauma that not

89
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: only other people share because they feel the need to share,

90
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: which is incredibly important, but also what's in the news,

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: you know. So I just want to say, like I

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: hope that y'all are listeners, are local, what is are

93
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: taking care of themselves. You don't have to be reading everything.

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to tweet about it if you don't

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: want to write, you know, like your story is yours.

96
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: So just like practice some extra self care in the

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: next this week and in the next few weeks, like

98
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: make sure you're prioritizing yourself right. And I think too

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: when we try and figure out how we respond to

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: current events. You know, again, we we've talked about this

101
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: podcast follows the narrative ark of our lives. Our goal

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: was never to like cover all of pop culture and

103
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: comment on every new event in the news. No, and

104
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: we've shared before, like there's so many there are so

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: many places that our listeners that just everyone in general

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: can get their news from and it doesn't have to

107
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: be us. And we've made it so that we're not

108
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: like a news source in the sense that it's like

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: right when it's happening. Yeah, you know, if it's relevant

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: to us, if we really really really want to, we'll

111
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: choose to write. But also, like think of think of

112
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the podcast, think of local radio radio as a novella,

113
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: like it's your escapism exactly. You listen to learn, maybe

114
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: you listen to feel better, to listen to different music

115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: to learn from you, from other artists, from other creators

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: like you know, and let let that be it. Yeah,

117
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: and let it be it. And the thing is that

118
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: we we go in between because we have done like

119
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: our sounding out contribution, you know, the sonic landscapes of Unwelcome,

120
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: We do, um collect narratives from our listeners about assault

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: and abuse and harassment, like we do that very real conversation. Um.

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: But what we don't want is to be like one

123
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: of ten other sources talking about the exact same topics

124
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: every week. We like being thematic, right or specific to

125
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: like the specific creator where interviewed, interviewing. Absolutely, so yeah,

126
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: just that's just a little bit and again for our

127
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: new list to be oriented to like who we are

128
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and what we do and why we do it. Yeah,

129
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: so this is going to have a different structure. Um,

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: we are actually going to do a little bit of

131
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: a getting to know us. You know, we have actually

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: reached fourteen point three thousand followers on Instagram, thank you,

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: So we know we have new listeners, you know, which

134
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: is why if you follow us, you saw that we

135
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: did like kind of a reintroduction of ourselves and the

136
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: podcast um because you know we love our O G

137
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Loca motes that I've been rocking with us since. But

138
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: we know we also have some new listeners, some new

139
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: local Morcito, so we want them to get to know us.

140
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: So with that, we're going to go into a song

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: break um m m um um um um um um

142
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: um um um and ship. So today we're actually gonna

143
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: be answering some oyolokas question to just you know, chap platica.

144
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: You can get to know why our beliefs all of that. Alright,

145
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of really really good questions.

146
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to answer. So this question, I love

147
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: this question. Thank you to the person that answered the

148
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: answered asked this question, how would you go about encouraging

149
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: our youth to embrace their inner look up? You know. Um,

150
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: I think something that was really important for me was

151
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: finding um, like sources and influences outside of my Catholic

152
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: school background and outside of like my high school background.

153
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: And that's we talk about being online so often, but

154
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: like I really like I did a lot of reading, um,

155
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: viewing poetry, like film and television, UM, women of color,

156
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: creatives on the internet who were like challenging all these

157
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: ideas that we were growing up with and socialized with

158
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and having on to Catholic school and learning from other

159
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Mohenna's helped me to unlearn all of those things and

160
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: to embrace like my inner look at because I think,

161
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, the gas lighting that happens, the crazy making

162
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: that happens, Um, it is hard for us as young

163
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: people to realize that like we're not the problem, you know,

164
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: but to have older other women pointed out, you know

165
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: and kind of show me and kind of be the

166
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: blueprint UM for me, that was very helpful. So I

167
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: would say, look to others, look to other and other

168
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: examples and sources, and look to art. Yeah, I agree,

169
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: um mala completely Um. I'm thinking about listening to you

170
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: speak about talking about different television and movies and music

171
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: and all of that. It made me think about UM.

172
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: When I was in high school and I was maybe

173
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: fifty sixteen and I was coming out, I had already

174
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: come out, UM, I started looking for lesbian films because

175
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: to me, I was like, okay, well, I was like

176
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: learning how to be a lesbian basically, like that's how

177
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: I felt. I was like, Okay, how does this work?

178
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: How does this work? Like what is dating? Like? You know,

179
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: like I was, I had nobody to ask, I had

180
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: nobody to mentor me. I remember like looking on Planned

181
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Parenthood and they had like a save sex little um

182
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: portion section on their website talking about like you know,

183
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: having sex with other women, having sex together, like how

184
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: to stay safe and all that stuff. But I didn't

185
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: really have a mentor. I didn't have anybody to talk to.

186
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: So I would watch films. I would like look on

187
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: the internet. I was. I was very much on humbler.

188
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: I was like one of those little tumbler kids. Same

189
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: what was your tumbler? What was your what was it

190
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: called a handle? What was your It was like your

191
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: your your webs, like your you are light. You are

192
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: I want to stem into. I have no idea for

193
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: high school, my tumbler, I remember, I do remember now, Okay,

194
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: mine was the right girl, the right girl like rich. Yes,

195
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: that was me for a long time, the right girl

196
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: back in the day, back in the day I had.

197
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Mine was called La. That was a long time ago. Youth.

198
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: That's so funny, the youth, the youth. Yeah. So again,

199
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: like I would like Mala has talked about and even

200
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: how we talked about in the first episode. I mean

201
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this episode is what we considered

202
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: to be the canon, what we considered to be our

203
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: source of knowledge is often very white. So if you're

204
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: an educator and you have the ability to bring speakers

205
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: onto your campus that we reflect your actual student population,

206
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: if you're in an after school program, having if you

207
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: have the budget to have like you know what I

208
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: mean to having like different writers of color, yes, having

209
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: absolutely having zines, even teaching your teaching your youth to

210
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: like make zines, like I remember I did like a

211
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: writing I used to do a lot of writing workshops

212
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: when I was in high school. Um, and I remember

213
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: making my first zine. So like you know, even that

214
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: like it's really accessible for for you just to make

215
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: a zine and to have them like talk right about

216
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: what have it be, what they wanted to be about

217
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: and learning creating. When I was in high school, I

218
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: went to a predominantly white high school, so I took

219
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: summer classes at eLAC. I took Chicano Studies because I

220
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't have access to it. And then I thought in

221
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: my head, like, what if I don't go to college

222
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: in the Southwest, if I don't qute to college in California,

223
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I will not have access to Chicano Studies classes because

224
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: they really only exist, to my knowledge, you know, on

225
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: the West Coast and in the Southwest. And I ended

226
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: up going college in Massachusetts and there weren't any ch

227
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of studies classes. So I used my local resource,

228
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: which was eLAC. He still like Community College UM, which

229
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: is a great resource in the community, especially if you're

230
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: anywhere like on the East Side or the San Gebroel Valley.

231
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: UM Learning learning has always helped me to embrace my

232
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: inner loca. I agree reading breading stuff that my mom

233
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: was a really big influence in me being a very

234
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: avid reader. So yeah, I mean, I think art is

235
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: just really one way to embrace your inner loca going out,

236
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: going out with friends, dancing, letting loose. It's not all

237
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: about work, and it's not all about school. You know,

238
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: we have to focus on work in school to survive

239
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: and to live, but like we have to create other

240
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: spaces for ourselves to have fun and to let loose

241
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: and like, you know, be crazy and like any chance

242
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: I get to be by myself or like just kind

243
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: of you know, explore and read and listen to music,

244
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: have fun. I think those are always to embrace your

245
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: inner look at I agree the dancing. The dancing is

246
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: always yeah, the dancing. Who next question, thank you, question, question,

247
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: thank thank you so much. This is a long question.

248
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: It's multiple, multiple parts, but I think it's important. I mean,

249
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: they're all important. But I don't think we've talked about

250
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: this explicitly, like directly. Um, is there ever a misalignment

251
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: between your personal life and your beliefs? What I'm getting at,

252
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: how do you manage having feminist beliefs and dating sis

253
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: het men? How do you handle the relationship if your

254
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: partner is problematic? I studied gender studies and my boyfriend didn't,

255
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: so and so sometimes it's tiring explaining things that are

256
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: important to me but are not to him. That's a

257
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: hard one. That's a good one, multiple parts. But okay,

258
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: So to begin with, how do we manage having feminist

259
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: beliefs and dating sis het men. So I've really, um

260
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: only dated sis hetman. I mean I've had like, I've

261
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: slept with women, but I've never dated women or been

262
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: in love with a woman. And part of that is

263
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: because I am a fem and I don't approach anybody,

264
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: so I don't approach anyone. So I think that I

265
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: don't always necessarily like read is queer or whatevers. But

266
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: I've only dated sis hetmans so far, and it that

267
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: is that is a huge piece of it is like

268
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: navigating their misogyny and their sexism and their mucheesmare and

269
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: the toxic masculinity with the love that's there too because

270
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: they both exist at the same time. And it's so difficult.

271
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: It's learned because I mean, you know, we see our

272
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: our mother's doing that and see our fathers still being misogynistic,

273
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and our mother's loving them anyway, right right, loving them

274
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: through it. And so I think part of it is

275
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm at this stage where you know,

276
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: what was our big hashtag past year It was dump

277
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: him two thousand seventy because we were going through that process,

278
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: literally dumped them. That's the thing. How do we deal

279
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: with it if they're problematic? You know? At some point

280
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: it's like what is the line? What's the limit? Like

281
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: do I try and work on you or do I

282
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: just get rid of you and say, fuck it, I'm

283
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: not even going to deal with it anymore. I'm gonna

284
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: dump you. And we joke about this like, oh, you know,

285
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: if your boyfriend is causing you the slightest inconvenience, dump him,

286
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: get rid of him, find a new one. You know,

287
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: we say that kind of like we're being facetious, but

288
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: also not really like why put up with it? Why?

289
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Like are they contributing to you and at the same

290
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: level educating you, elevating you. Are they getting stressed out

291
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: because they're pouring their their knowledge, you know, in their

292
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: wisdom and their experience to to elevate you or is

293
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,359
Speaker 1: it only going in one direction? Are they just siphoning

294
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: energy and information from you? And I just I don't

295
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm not in a place right now. I don't even

296
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: want to go her with any of these men. It's

297
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: not even worth it for me right now, Like I'm

298
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: detoxing because the problematic stuff it gets to you right,

299
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, Okay, I gotta go, I

300
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: gotta go. Yeah, I mean, I will echo that exactly sentiment.

301
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: I was dating someone that I would not get it,

302
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: couldn't get it, didn't want to get it, didn't want

303
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: to get it. Was just I stayed as long as

304
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I could, which was about six months, and then I

305
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: had to end it. Yeah. I tried ending it at

306
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: one time, and then he was like, I'll do better,

307
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: like I promise, blah blah blah blah. So I stayed

308
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: another month and then that was it. I couldn't do

309
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: it anymore because the behavior didn't change, and he wasn't

310
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: willing to learn. Um. He wasn't willing to look internally

311
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: and ask himself the important questions of why do I

312
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: feel so entitled to her body? Why do I feel

313
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: so entitled to her space? Why won't I just let

314
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: her breathe? You know? For me, it was too detrimental

315
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: to not only my mental health but also my physical health.

316
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: It was getting to the point where I was no

317
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: longer safe. Um. So I had similar issues. We had

318
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: a lot of similar issues. So I had to just

319
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: end it. And even though I ended it, it was

320
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: still like it was kind of ongoing in a way

321
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: or two right, right and both of us, both of us. Um,

322
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: So I mean I will say, like, if your partner

323
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: is willing to ask himself these questions, um, you know,

324
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: maybe it's maybe it's worth exploring. If your partner just

325
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't want to learn on their own or also learn

326
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: with you, Like I'm not saying to dump him, but

327
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: like ask yourself, like is it worth all the extra

328
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: work you're putting into the relationship? You know, and we've

329
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: talked about this too, is the self preservation piece of

330
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: it is. This is not to say give up on

331
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: love or it's hopeless or don't do the work. But

332
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: part of the question is, you know, um, it's it's

333
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: tiring explaining things that are important to you but aren't

334
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: important to him. And if we're talking about feminist topics,

335
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: those are topics that are important to us. What are

336
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: those topics? Our health, our safety, culture, our longevity, Like

337
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: those things should be important to him. How are they

338
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: not important to him? If they're not important to him,

339
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: then get rid of them and find another one, because

340
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: find somebody who gives about because there is there is

341
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: someone out there, and that is important to know something

342
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: we know to be true. Married women have a lower

343
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: life expectancy than single women. Married men have a longer

344
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: life expectancy than single men. So when women get married

345
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: to men, are life chances right, They decline, and the

346
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: life chances of men increase when they're married to women.

347
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: That's something to keep in mind. The leading cause of

348
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: homelessness amongst women is domestic violence, is inter personal violence,

349
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: is relationship violence. Women in prison. The majority of women

350
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: in prison have some history of gender based violence and

351
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: self defense. A lot of women in prison are there

352
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: because they defended themselves against a male partner. In the

353
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: United States, the person most likely to murder a woman

354
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: is who their romantic partner and current, current or former partner. Yeah,

355
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: so when we talk about his views are problematic, well,

356
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: your views often translate to your actions. So we want

357
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: to ask ourselves down the line. If he's not willing

358
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: to learn, he's committed to not understanding, and he doesn't

359
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: give a funk about the things that affect your your

360
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: well being, dump his ass and find a better one,

361
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: find a fresh one, right, I agree, time alone, I

362
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: spend one him alone. And again, there is somebody out

363
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: there that does get it. It does give a fuck,

364
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: you know. Like honestly, I remember the first time I

365
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: spent the night with current bou current current partner Mallow.

366
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: The next day I told her like, oh, I spent

367
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: the night with him for the first time, like physically

368
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: slept next to him, and she was like, well, how

369
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: was it? And I was like I had not felt

370
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: safe like that in a while. And for me, all

371
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: what made me feel safe was that I was able

372
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: to sleep right. I didn't have somebody waking me up everything.

373
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have somebody, you know, like not letting me

374
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: sleep for obvious reasons because they wanted to do something

375
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: else and like a bit just tired, which wants to sleep.

376
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. For me, that was

377
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: like my first indicator of like, oh I feel safe

378
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: with this person. Absolutely, you know, absolutely, I feel safe

379
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: enough to sleep. I feel safe enough not to be

380
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: on the alert. You know that's important. And I just

381
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: want to say, you know, men don't have to have

382
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: studied women's studies to care about correct a woman's well being. Correct,

383
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: that's not a requirement at all. There are plenty of

384
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: men that have never studied women's studies that can understand

385
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: violence against women is bad. Women deserve to be paid

386
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: the same for their labor, right, like women deserve the

387
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: right to control their own body. It doesn't take a

388
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: women's studies degree, it doesn't. I tell my men all

389
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: the time, like I make fifty four cents to your dollars,

390
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: so you have to buy me dinner, Like you literally

391
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: have to buy things. I'm literally like that. This is

392
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: an ongoing comment that I make, Like I make fifty

393
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: four cents to your dollar. You know the fact. And

394
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Like, if you decrease my life,

395
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: chances increase the likelihood that I'm going to be physically harmed,

396
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Why the funk else would I have you around not

397
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: to like improve my quality of life? Right has been

398
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: preaching for decades. Make yourself honestly. But you know another

399
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: comment I want to make, um, just to like explore

400
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: this topic a little further, Like this is also not

401
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: just men that don't care about women, child and safety

402
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: and just in general what's important to them, Like, you know,

403
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: queer toxic masculinity is something we have talked about internalized masculinity.

404
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: Lobo talked talked about this when Lobo was on the

405
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: show Correct and I'm sorry. Internalized misogyny is also a thing.

406
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: There are other women that can project this onto you

407
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: and onto any type, like trying to take away your

408
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: bodily autonomy. Right, that you shouldn't have the right to choose, right,

409
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: all these different things that you shouldn't sleep around women

410
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: voted right. They are like the women that like their

411
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: sole purpose in life is to find a husband. That

412
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: is fine, the pick me women, And that's fine. If

413
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: that is your goal, fine, how or to you do you? However,

414
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: that does not have to be my goal. I don't

415
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: have to clean to keep a man, you know, that's

416
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: not that should not be my purpose for me. For me,

417
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: that is not my purpose. Don't project that onto me.

418
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: That is the internalized misogyny. Misogyny is huge seeing other

419
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: women as like a threat. You know, if another attractive

420
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: woman in the room is a threat to you because

421
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: you think your man is going to leave you for her,

422
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: like look at your man like that's the problem, or

423
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: look at your partner, you know, that's the issue, not

424
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: the other one. Man who has the wandering eye. Lots

425
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: of them, lots of those men. You we know one

426
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: or two of those out there, the wandering eye, the

427
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: loose hand, loose hand, loose hand, the strategically plays, do

Speaker 1: hi to meet my hip. You don't know me. You

00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: don't need to put it there. Shake handshake, right handshake Hi,

00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: like we just you know, yeah, you know, m we

439
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: have our day jobs. They pay the bills and that's

440
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: very important to us getting our bills paid. Um, and

441
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, we would love to be

442
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: full time media and podcast and writing and all the

443
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: cute visions. We have visions, We have ideas. We have

444
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: a pipeline, you know, we have a five year plan.

445
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: We have a direction that we're going in. Yeah, all

446
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: that to say like you'll see there's more to come.

447
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, I have ideas, right. I saw something the

448
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: other day about like a comment on someone's page, like

449
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: will really help them out, We'll really take them a

450
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: long way because it shows other people that you work

451
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: with them. Right, So this isn't this is I'm not

452
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, please go leave us comments, please go

453
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: leave us like so the lot of y'all do, which

454
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: we love. We love read in your comments. We love

455
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: reading everything. We would like anytime there's like an indie

456
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: person like and you work with them, like let them know,

457
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because other people look at

458
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: that meaning if someone wants to offer them a deal,

459
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: they will likely do that because there's an engagement there,

460
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like if there's

461
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: someone you really funk with that doesn't doesn't mean us,

462
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: but just anyone like clothing, love out loud, love love

463
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: out loud loud, if you love creators and artists, and

464
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: you know podcasters online, love love us out loud and

465
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: tell us, tell us and let us know, let it

466
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: be known, let it be you funk with us. And

467
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: something that we've learned that we didn't understand until you know,

468
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: this past year, I think is that you never know

469
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: who's looking, You never know who's watching. And we've gotten

470
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, contacted by folks and by places, and we

471
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: were surprised presently because they were watching, because someone was

472
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: looking and seeing what we were doing, and that people

473
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: that you all were responding. It's your response. I think

474
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: that really catches folks eyes more than anything. Yeah, So

475
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: just you know, we'll see what the future holds. We

476
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: have lots of goals, lots of visions, lots of dreams,

477
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: but for now we're going to keep And that's the

478
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: thing too, is like we believe that the more work

479
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: we're doing, that's more seeds that are being planted. So

480
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: even in our day jobs are professional life, like, we

481
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: still want to keep that up until we're stable enough

482
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: to move on to something else. But but like this

483
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: is also good for us to work. Yeah, you know,

484
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: it's not like a waste of our time or anything. No, no, no, no, no, no.

485
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean and I like the company I work where

486
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: we like provide services for developmentally disabled individual individuals with

487
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: developmental disabilities UM and one of the things is that

488
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: we do like a person centered approach. So what you're

489
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: thinking about is the person, So even just shifting your

490
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: language like I did right now, it's individuals with developmental disabilities, right,

491
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: because what we're looking at is the individual, right and

492
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: the disability is one part of them, a piece of

493
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: the home exactly. Um So, I mean I'm proud to

494
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: say that I the people that I work with are

495
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: like doing this like really great service to our community.

496
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Um So yeah, I mean that's definitely something I still

497
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: care about. Yeah, I'm teaching you know, basically sex education,

498
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: and I still teach self defense classes and I love teaching.

499
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Um And so for me, I also want to be

500
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: able to focus more on we have talked about, like

501
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: continuing with our education and continuing to study the things

502
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: that we talk about at a more advanced level. So

503
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: that's also I think something that we want to do

504
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: is continue expanding our knowledge. Just imagine Mal and I

505
