Show Notes

Mary and Wyatt settle in at the kitchen table for a long and winding discussion of alcohol, addiction, and mental health. They talk about the difference between physical and mental addiction, how “what kind of drunk you are” affects your perceptioån of your behavior, and coping with boredom without substances. They also talk about the recent spate of discriminatory anti-trans legislation in Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee, and talk about how allies can support trans people and trans youth. Also on the agenda: Mary and Wyatt’s top ten favorite albums, big plans for the Mary/Wyatt homestead, and poems by Danez Smith and Marty McConnell.
