Today's episode features Mx. Crys/ta Song, a Speech Language Pathologist and vocalist who is also Board Co-Chair of Queer Oriented Radical Days of Summer (QORDS).  Crys/ta and I talk about such topics as why the South should not be discounted as a political forum, how we cannot help but be part of humanity, and obscure William Makepeace Thackeray quotes.–REFERENCES:Follow Crys/ta Song on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mx.singasong/QORDS website:  https://qords.org/Follow QORDS on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Qords/Follow QORDS on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/qords_camp/Transcend NYC Chorus:  https://www.transcendsings.org/“Braiding Sweetgrass:”  https://milkweed.org/book/braiding-sweetgrassQuote from “The Crow:”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6sz0mgQL_A(00:00) - Opening credits
