  S04:E08 | Review: 2024’s Most Meaningful Reads & What I’m Digging in 2025

  Jan 13, 202520 minS4

  It's a booktastic megasode! Nearly 20 minutes of big book energy, opening with books that made me go "mmm" in 2024, and closing with what I'm excited to read in 2025. (Could this be the soft relaunch of the Asynchronous Book Club? Yeah, why not!) As ever, check content warnings before you pick up anything we discuss here on the podcast; reading should be a refuge, not a trigger. And remember: reading is reading is reading, whether you're reading books with your eyes or your hands or your ears.✌️ Until next time, as always: take care, keep creating, and stay divine!

  Episode #8

  S04:E07 | Refract: On Mirror Rot, Idiosyncratic Inspo, and Hailing the New Year

  Dec 28, 20247 minS4

  Let's talk about mirror rot! And also how it inspired me to write this episode all about the agnosticism of inspiration, and how your idiosyncratic log of the year (whether it's in your phone's notes app, your watch history, your box of ticket stubs) can not only help you reflect on the year that's gone, but also take you into the new one with a cache of cool curios to fuel your creative practice. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Until next time, as always: take care, keep creating, and stay divine.

  Episode #7

  S04:E06 | Rekindle: On Burning Out, Learning Grace, and Making Art for Yourself

  Dec 5, 20248 minS4

  Let's burn your vision board! Not really! (But kind of?) In this episode, we're talking about taking space, practicing grace, and reminding ourselves of why we make what we make ... and for whom, and why it's not the best move to let your calendar control your creative work. Heavily inspired by a great Bluesky thread about making art for yourself by game designers Sean and Navi Drake of A Couple of Drakes .
