The Artist's Principles

I had the most heartwarming, thoughtful conversation with Laura Marie! Laura Marie makes zines like Trike Diaries and enjoys the intersection of disability and sexuality. She lives in community and helps run the Las Vegas Radical Mental Health Collective. She also does interfaith peace work and anti-nuclear work. Her ancestors were unjustly harmed in the Trinity bomb test in New Mexico. Laura Marie writes a lot and also enjoys making visual art, riding trike, ecstatic dance, and permaculture.   You can follow Laura Marie's work at:  https://www.listeningtothenoiseuntilitmakessense.com https://www.facebook.com/functionallyill https://www.instagram.com/xtrikeslutsx/

In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Susana Banana! We talk about everything from being a looner, contortion, bdsm and more! Suzie is a fetish performer and sex worker who specializes in submission and balloons. She caters to a wide range of fetishes but balloons and BDSM are her true loves. She absolutely loves content creation and also does a lot of personalized services such as Individual camming and sexting sessions as well. Suzie is 25 and has been doing this for coming up nearing 3 years now.  You can support Susana Banana's work at Linktr.ee/SuzieBxxx

A reading of the Artist's Principles from Julia Cameron's book, The Artist's Way. Recording a reading of the principles was one of the assignments from week 11, so I thought what better place to share than my podcast! Enjoy 💖

Week 10 of the Artist's Way! This one is all about how we numb ourselves with vices and distractions to avoid facing the potential anxiety that comes with creating and devoting time to our art. I felt personally attacked in THE BEST WAY.  You can watch this episode on my youtube channel under the username dabbylonglegs, and you can stay up-to-date with all my regular shenanigans on my instagram, @dabby.longlegs 

Hello Darlings,  This is part two of my gender affirming journey series. In this episode I discuss my journey seeking gender affirming care, specifically, testosterone, top surgery, and a hysterotomy. I hope that this is helpful to people who have reached out and asked what first steps they should take to find care, as well as providing insight for people who don't know what this process is like and what many trans folks go through. I also need to add that while everything went well and as it ideally should, unfortunately my experience seems to be a rare case for most trans people. Gender-affirming care is a privilege not only for financial reasons but also the area one lives plays a huge role in their ability to receive access. I was fortunate enough to qualify for financial aid due to my rough financial situation amidst the pandemic, so my treatment was HIGHLY discounted and it cost me almost nothing. I also live in a progressive state and city, so I had access to open minded affirming doctors. There are so many laws and bills being written as I type this that put the rights and lives of trans folks, especially trans children, at risk. I encourage anyone who watches this youtube video or listens to my podcast to research ways they can be an ally to the BIQTPOC community, and urge their local governments to not support anti-trans laws.  support my work: youtube: dabby longlegs instagram: dabby.longlegs venmo: dabbylonglegs

One of the (many) benefits of psilocybin is that it can help people get in touch with their true selves. This is especially true for people who have suppressed their identities due to religion or trauma from their upbringing. As someone who experienced both pretty heavily throughout my childhood, psilocybin helped me to see my true self with love and without fear. After years of exploring my gender identity, I've embarked on a new path in my journey and will be sharing my stories in this series. You can watch me chat on youtube, or listen my show Living Deliciously wherever you get your podcasts.

For week 9 of the Artist's Way, we have to choose an item that represents our inner artist child and promise to not be mean to them 😹 Listen to the full recording on my podcast EnHIGHtened Living or watch the full video on my youtube (username dabbylonglegs) One of my intentions for 2021 is to reconnect with my creativity, so I'm reading the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. It's a book about reconnecting with your inner artist that provides 12 weeks of assignments to re-establish your creative flow. Have you read The Artist's Way? How did it help you?
