Today's episode is a special Pride Month offering featuring Queer Thelemite Maevius Lynn. Lynn is an esoteric author, content creator, and advocate of the new religious movement, Thelema. We discuss topics as far afield as Aleister Crowley, how Thelema soothes religious trauma, and why screwing your neighbor isn't the same as Sex Magick.

Today's episode features some funny (and poignant) stories from Paul Cram. Paul is an actor, book lover, and multimedia designer who catalogs and celebrates Queer experiences everywhere. Paul and I consider topics as far afield as growing up knowing we don't matter, how acting can be identity therapy, and how we should discover who our children are, not dictate who they are.

In this episode, we hear Koby Falks's story of finding authenticity and strength by challenging toxic masculine stereotypes. Koby is an adult content creator, entrepreneur and advocate for authenticity in the adult content industry. Koby and I muse over topics as diverse as when masculinity turns toxic, how negating sex negates ourselves, and what it means to be a good bottom.
