In this episode:

-We revisit the times we worked together via little digital boxes on our laptops!

-Curtis tells us about Dragging Mason County, the YA novel released last year!

-We chat about how we want to exist in this world and how we want to define ourselves!

-Creativity is such a wonderful way to explore who we are!

-Growing up is a lovely way to find out we no longer have to prove our credentials as queer folk!

-EVERYTHING Curtis is working on — both solo and collaboratively — is without any exaggeration, perfection. I am delighted to chat about all of this important, joyful, intelligent work!

-People are hungry for queer comedy!

-As queer folks, making stuff for ourselves vs making ourselves more palatable for others is something we have to think about, and we discuss that in this episode!

-Everyone’s homework after listening is to go away and create bad things! We deserve it!

🌈 Queer joy of the week!

I had a birthday last week (and so did the podcast!) and to start my day I made a playlist and danced to the whole thing. Please enjoy a boogie on my 33-year-old behalf.

(I want Queer joy from the community! Email me your photographic, artistic, meme, written work or other joy to mydadstolemylimelight@gmail.com so I can share it with the community!)

🌈 Love for MDSML!

mardi gras started this week! happy mardi gras, australia! here is a little throwback to the last live pride event i attended where we did our first live show (and yes i always say “we” because despite being a solo host, nothing i do on this podcast is done alone. this is always a team effort and i am so thankful) <3

(Give us a 5-star review to see your message here! do what you want with that power!)
