0.07: Israel, Palestine, and Etheria

It's ROUGH to run out of gas in Death Valley! Or, if you're in a sci-fi genre show, a hauntingly desolate "crystal planet" that appears suspiciously devoid of crystals. But FEAR NOT, newly reunited best pals of ours! There are some hot queer sibs just around the corner who would probably love to team up, if you can get your messy lesbian drama together, Adora, & just do your thing! AND if Bow & Glimmer can have five freaking minutes of peace to talk about their feelings & healthy boundaries?? AAGGHH CRYSTALS!!!   (...Also, that's ice. That's Swifty being the sound of ice).   Link to our listener Mari's podcast, Genderfork (the Catra episode!): https://tinyurl.com/2rxm95b5   PLAYLIST: https://spoti.fi/3NlAaVn   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heyadoracast   For more information, you can head over to our website HeyAdora.gay or https://linktr.ee/HeyAdora.

In honor of the first MAJOR GAY SCREAMING EPISODE of Season 5, we've brought back a fan favorite (and host favorite) guest for your queer nerd delight-- it's Sar from Five by Five Takes!   Listen to the three of us talk SO MUCH about Catradora, heavy symbolism, ride or die with Glimmer, and say the word CORRIDORS a lot!   This is part 1 of a 2 part episode-- stay tuned for the exciting conclusion in the next installment!   (Playlist will be included in part 2)   Find Five by Five Takes here: https://tinyurl.com/6zfey3bt   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heyadoracast   For more information, you can head over to our website HeyAdora.gay or https://linktr.ee/HeyAdora.

Our ANCIENT SPACESHIP is finally repaired, and we are ready to LAUNCH into SPAAAACE!!! ...As soon as Adora gets that mandatory nap due to no longer being part Valkyrie, and the rest of our princess pals work together to hack Horde Prime's comms & figure out Glimmer's location IN SPACE, which will probably be SUPER EASY and not put a strain on ANY RELATIONSHIPS AT ALL. Plus, the faint stirrings of  SparkleKitty shenanigans, maybe?

HOLY SHITBALLS IT'S SEASON 5!!! Our buddies are LEVELING UP for the final battle for the fate of the world, or, perhaps, the entire universe. (If you think that's scary, check out Project 2025-- the GOP's plans for the US after the next election! This is some end-times shit, y'all).   Meanwhile IN SPACE, Glimmer & Catra are trapped on Horde Prime's mothership, aka Our Lady of Perpetual Death Star; will their journeys finally align to the supremely badass sparklekitty duo we're all rooting for? Will THE SHE-RA ever be returned to us? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT!

WE ARE BACK FROM HIATUS!!! And we sure did miss you, queerfam. This episode is very close to both our hearts, and we hope you will receive it with love, even if it challenges you in some ways. Instead of our usual post-season race roundtable, today we are discussing Israel & Palestine, & our relationship to the current war on Gaza as Antizionist Jews. With us is special guest Kaia from the Western MA chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. We'll discuss our personal histories & how we came to consciousness on this topic, as well as some pretty clear parallels between SPOP & our lived experiences of Israel/Palestine. There are a LOT of links in today's show notes, so please use them! They're WICKED EDUCATIONAL.    We will return with regular S5 coverage in late June 2024.   Meff's Audio Engineering Class GoFundMe: https://bit.ly/audiomeff   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heyadoracast   For more information, you can head over to our website HeyAdora.gay or https://linktr.ee/HeyAdora.

Our destinies, collective & individual, are hurtling toward us in this penultimate episode of Season 4!

So this one time in the 80's, a fantasy hero child and his white horse bff went on an epic quest that took them to a landscape that was the literal embodiment of depression and hopelessness; and then that landscape of depression SWALLOWED THE HORSE WHOLE IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE KID BFF'S EYES, leaving a generation of kids wicked traumatized. Now it's time for ANOTHER white horse (pegicorn, ok) to visit ANOTHER landscape of depression and hopelessness with his human hero bff... but this time, they won't be alone! Because if there's one thing we know as queer folks, it's that the way to survive all the Swamps of Sadness, in this or any world, is through the power of COMMUNIITY. Hold on to each other, queerlings. We're damn well gonna win in the end!

With the magical nukes at the heart of Etheria looming, friendships and people we love begin to...fracture. Guts are wrenched. BFFs torn asunder. But at least we finally get the wholesomely gay meetcute of Perfuma and Scorpia, who are the best and the winners of every gayest moment forever!
