🚨SURPRISE IT'S LISTENER APPRECIATION WEEK🚨

Good morning WIWS Nation, I'm excited to announce today is the launch of our second annual listener appreciation week!

"What is listener appreciation week?" you might ask. As a sign of my undying appreciation to the listeners of this podcast and members of the WIWS community, I like to do a surprise week once a year or so to flood you guys with TONS of extra content and other fun promotions during the week! I am so immensely grateful that you guys have enabled me to foster such a wonderful space for nosy gays that sometimes I just have to show you guys with a big bang! Here are some details you need to know!

First things first! I am opening up the Secret Sessions Discord to Ashley Avignone Patrons and up for the week! We have had to close it due to some trolling for the past six months and it's getting so big keeping it safely modded has become a bit of a concern. But we're going to open it to Ashley+ Patrons for the next week and let you guys get grandfathered into it before we close it for a while to keep the size of it under control. It *will* probably be opened up again sometime in the future but it may be only open to higher tiers to again keep the population under control and able to be safely modded. If you want to join it during this special open period simply link your Patreon account to Discord by following these directions.

Secondly HUGE FUCKING ANNOUNCEMENT! Not to bury the lead sorry I didn't want anyone to miss the discord announcement BUT ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND GABRIELLA ARE STARTING A PODCAST AND IT LAUNCHES TODAY! It's called Stay at Home Girlfriends and it's a podcast where you can listen in to get advice from your cool gay aunties! Episode 1 is up NOW and you can listen on Spotify! (More apps coming soon)

I hope y'all are as excited as I am for THREE main pod episodes and FIVE Patreon episodes this week!!! And I genuinely, truly hope you guys feel the love from me!

But that doesn't stop me from being SO HUGELY AND IRREVOCABLY GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, AND APPRECIATIVE to all of you for being a part of this weird but amazing little Evidence Based Gossip community!

Honestly, I think TLC reality shows are the closest we get to Shakespeare in the modern age

#i mean this sincerely #tlc #have you watched 1000 pound sisters recently??? #or sister wives???? #sister wives #1000 pound sisters #jon and kate plus 8 anybody #they're all tragedies with moments of comedy #and weddings #lots of weddings #but my goodness #like you can't make up the drama there #it's intense #and kind of insane #im in a bit of awe honestly #shakespeare

i don’t have anything to do 2day so i’m watching a docuseries on the 2000s

#those sextuples from jon & kate plus 8 turn 20 this year btw

[elledeau]

This is so f*cked up, though it confirms Kate is exactly who you thought she was.

I remember enjoying this show when it first premiered. The kids were sweet and funny. Quickly Kate got to be too grating and I stopped watching. I guess if anything, Collin’s story is another indicator that for every reality TV star that’s born, someone (or many ones) behind the scenes are being hurt, exploited, degraded, etc. As media consumers we have to decide whether we’re okay with being complicit in that.

Number of comments: You can’t instutionalize someone just because you don’t like them

Me: …have y’all forgotten Brittany Spears conservator case that quickly?

Not the same dance of course

But very similar

If you have a corrupt enough medical professional. A family member with guardianship over another person. Especially with money

You can absolutely do that

Just because you shouldn’t doesn’t mean it can’t be done

[xenosagaepisodeone]

one reason why i'm a fan of how widespread and accessible vtuber technology is is that it gives all the usual aspiring professional content creator sludge a fantasy-like coat of paint. while you can't stop parasocial relationships from forming between the vtuber and their audience, the technology rebuffs a lot of the factors that draw people in to feel connected to a youtuber or a streamer on a personal, human level. a vtuber is a character no matter how dimensional their host wants to be. a vtuber boy breaks character to get into an argument with someone in the comments, their audience is immediately discomforted with how cringe and kind of pathetic their anime prince is being. a vtuber girl fake cries while addressing allegations against her, her rig only capable of articulating a vaguely sad expression as her avatar breastfully bounces in tandem with her sobs. this. this is the new television. the new jon and kate plus 8. the new maury show. dubiously ethical as all reality television is but impersonal enough to be easy to consume as pure entertainment.

Asteroid Observations: Mommy Asteroids🍼

I will use the charts of 3 women who stand out in some way for being mothers to see how these asteroids play out in their charts. ⚠️Disclaimer: Having the same placement as these women will not guarantee that you for example will have twins, astrology can only show possibilites.

Ceres(1) - Roman goddess of fertility and motherhood.

Fama(408) - Goddess of rumor and fame.

Child(4580) - Children.

Demeter(1108) - Greek goddess of fertility.

Uranus in a Cancer degree: Uranus shows where we shock people and where we are different. Uranus is also in the 9th house and her birthing octuplets led to a lot of new research being made ”The circumstances of their high order multiple birth led to controversy in the field of assisted reproductive technology as well as an investigation by the Medical Board of California of the fertility specialist involved.”

Ranking DC Pride 2023

9. Love’s Lightning Heart (???, ???)

Starring The Flashlight and The Flash, I think? When he called the dude “Ray” in the beginning I thought it was gonna be The Ray, you know? This only scores so low because I’m not at ALL familiar with anything Multiversity and this story especially seemed to be absolutely thick with that corner of DC lore. I get there’s a Parallax type of thing happening but... this was kind of hard to follow for a payoff that’s pretty lukewarm if you’re not well-versed in who this story’s about.

8. My Best Bet (Jon Kent/Superman, John Constantine

This is hit especially hard in my ranking because it’s the last story in the book and the only thing DC Pride about it is that it stars two Bs. They’re popular queer characters but I’m here for stories that are specifically ABOUT LGBT stuff, not about LGBT people doing stuff. There’s nothing to really talk about here.

7. Found (Xanthe Zhou, Batwoman/Kate Kane)

I’ve been meaning to read Spirit World, and since I hadn’t gotten around to it Xanthe being LGBT was a surprise to me, but not as much as Kate Kane showing up was. It feels like someone threw a dartboard at WLW women and plopped in whoever came up, cuz I guarantee if I flip the newest Batwoman issue open to a random page she’ll have a girlfriend-slash-situationship that won’t be too happy about her seeming receptive to some flirting. But hey, I like Xanthe more now so there’s give-and-take.

6. And Baby Makes Three (Xiomara Rojas/Crush, Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy)

I like Crush. I can’t claim to have read much of her, because for now that means enduring way too much Damian Wayne, but she seems like an incredibly interesting character. But I could not tell you why she’s here with Harley and Ivy. This, moreso than anything else, has a less than negative chance of being referenced again and it’s giving me even more of that dartboard feeling the last story did. Plus if there’s one thing Harlivy can do, it’s carry a story by themselves. I wish we’d gotten something about JUST Crush, is what I’m saying. I feel like this was a status update for Crush, like her washing ashore was meant to bridge the gap between this story and whatever she was doing the last time she showed up.

5. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Natasha Irons/Steel, Nubia)

Listen, I will always have space in my heart for the Irons family. I love Natasha, and I love John Henry, and when DC lets either out of the ether every other year I’m front and center. That, and the recent super-push Nubia has been enjoying made this story one I was pretty excited to read when I realized who it was about. But THIS ART. These faces are TRASH. Even without looking it up I feel like there’s a 0% chance DC would give a nonblack artist this story, so it makes it especially confusing as to why the characters look like THAT. The actual content was fun and even though Io needs to come up off our queen posthaste, I didn’t have any (other) complaints. But it’s SOOOOO UGLYYYYY.

4. The Dance ( Minhkhoa Khan/Ghost-Makes, Thomas Blake/Catman)

I knew Ghost-Maker was bi prior to reading this, somehow. I’ve been meaning to read anything about him because his design is so awesome but I was only really guessing this was Catman alongside him. I really don’t know anything about him, so this ranks so highly just because of Ghost-Maker. I don’t really have anything else to add here since this story’s ultimate purpose seems to just show off muscley dudes post-sex.

3. Anniversary (Lucas Trent/Midnighter, Andrew Pulaski/Apollo, Alan Scott/Green Lantern)

These showcases tend to have like, one story that directly addresses inequality if you’re lucky. This is that story, and it’s such a good one. Midnighter and Apollo’s fame as the canon gay Superbat sort of eclipses anything else about them, but that reputation is put to excellent effect here. Plus, Alan Scott, one of my favorite Green Lanterns, finally shows up. Revitalizing that old slogan to make it clear the LGBT isn’t going anywhere was fun, too.

2. Subspace Transmission (Jules Jourdain/Circuit Breaker, Jess Chambers/The Flash, Andy Curry/Aquawoman)

Jess was an extremely fun and memorable character from the start like, half a decade ago and that holds true here. I was super uninvested in the Circuit Breaker part of this story. I don’t know who that is, and even after reading this I genuinely don’t care. This made my heart hurt for more Teen Justice and Future State stuff in general. That Jackson Hyde cameo at the end was also perfect.

1. Hey, Stranger (Connor Hawke/Hawke, Tim Drake/Robin)

I was definitely in diapers the last time these two characters spoke to each other. When there’s been THAT big a gap in timeframe I can’t be sure how emotional a reunion can be to a modern readership. None of that matters to my enjoyment, because Connor Hawke is far and away my favorite Arrowfam member and his recent resurgence (even if too much of it is attached to Damian Wayne for my taste) has been such a blessing. DC only trots this guy out three times a year but god do we eat good each time. They just need to do a LITTLE more with him.

Actual comment I saw on the John and Kate plus 8 situation: Well there adults now why are they still siding with her

Me:…because magically turning 18 doesn’t suddenly magically change your opinions on things? Realizing your in an abusive situation like that can take time and deconstruction. And realistically is more likely to happen once those 6 aren’t around her constantly

And they have trust fund so the amount of connection should be withering away. But they need to start seeing it themselves before they can realize what is wrong here

And that can take time

#tw abuse #Jon and Kate plus 8 #Kate plus 8 #deconstruction takes time and is easier with separation #not saying you can’t do it in the house #see Hannah #but as long as their primary support is made #*kate #it’s not likely to happen #tlc shows

[cleoselene]

I am watching this Dark Side of the 2000s show and this episode is about the Jon & Kate Plus 8 show and one of the kids is being interviewed and he is talking about his mother and he stops the interview to ask if he is allowed to say the word...

"abusive"

I'm kind of gobsmacked by this??? and saddened? I know we joke about stuff like "unalive" but here is an actual kid talking about his actual abuse and he is worried he is not allowed to say the word "abusive" about the person who abused him because social media has trained an entire generation to censor themselves THIS much

that is mad depressing

[maurypovichofficial2]
