    The Fighting Jesus Christs

    Beck and Dash chat on Queernecks about haircuts, scar care (Bio-Oil, silicone tape), and trans products like trans tape and stand-to-pee packers, then mark Transgender Day of Visibility with humor and a plug for KB Brookins’ Substack “Trans News That Doesn’t Suck.” They discuss inclusive language as “being correct,” classroom practices around names/pronouns, and teaching about Indigenous issues and why Native mascots are offensive, alongside reflections on a university’s boarding-school history and restorative justice mission. They touch on rural/appalachian memories, including a comedic “sponsor” segment about Camel Cash rewards and scavenging cigarette butts, plus scams, toll roads, and a story about being jailed due to a traffic-school mix-up. The episode ends with plans to watch “Kinky Boots,” adopt a small dog, and everyday updates. 00:00 Podcast Welcome and Catch Up 00:19 Haircut After Loss 00:53 Scar Care Tips and Bio Oil 02:08 Trans Tape and STP Devices 03:49 Trans Visibility and Political Irony 04:42 Drag Gear and Kinky Boots 07:23 Queer Reads and Trans News 09:12 Facebook Clapback Story 11:44 Trans Students and Inclusive Classrooms 13:41 Inclusion as Correct Language 16:52 Mascots and Teaching Native Issues 21:40 Boarding School History and Haunted Campus 24:28 Growing Up Around Colleges 26:34 National Parks Thirst Trap TikTok 28:37 Celebrity Lookalikes and Drag Hosting 31:11 Balding, Testosterone, and Gender Euphoria 34:18 Feeling At Home 34:58 Body Dysmorphia Talk 36:09 Bodies As Medium 37:42 Roasts And Dignity 40:51 Camel Cash Sponsor 43:07 Cigarettes And Coupons 46:02 Tamarack Marketplace 48:41 Tolls And Scams 52:29 Jail By Mistake 01:00:56 Police Anxiety 01:01:51 Adopting Meredith 01:04:07 Food And Wrap Up

    Peanut Butter Ketchup Cookies

    Hosts Beck and Dash chat about home and apartment quirks, pets, and grief after Beck’s 15-year-old dog Wenda dies, discussing euthanasia, cremains, and pet rent. They talk about caring for and rehoming animals, moving with cats, litter robots, and Beck wanting an older small dog. Beck discusses an upcoming pap smear and past awkward medical experiences as a trans man, including visibility, bias, and the importance of preventative care for lgbtq people. They share jokes, a local Appalachian wrestling discovery, and reflections on drag and play. A sponsor bit riffs on “Hill Williams: Rent a friend” DIY repairs. They cover stained glass class, bargain stores, odd food stories, and an Appalachian “paper plate holder” icon, then end with rural healthcare access issues in eastern Kentucky—limited PET scanning delaying cancer and heart treatment—and plans for jobs, a discord, and community YouTube nights in a queer rural Appalachian space.

    Do Whatever We Feel Like

    Hosts Beck and Dash open by discussing writing habits, sleep, and accountability tactics like body doubling. They share updates on pain, long drives, mail deliveries, and pets aging and not eating, then pivot to show-and-tell of 1970s lesbian commune zines from Kentucky (“country women”) with homesteading and self-defense content. Conversation touches on dead-celebrity rumors, TV time-travel shows, and a classroom women’s studies exercise about consent and coercion that reveals how some students deny scenarios as assault; they connect this to rape culture, language, and Freud’s retracted findings on hysteria and sexual violence, noting Title IX/mandated reporting. After a comedic sponsor ad, they swap rural food and gas-station stories, then present the “noun of Appalachian interest”: Loretta Lynn’s poor Kentucky upbringing, blunt songs on women’s lives and birth control, and lasting influence.
