Sabrina Carpenter has done a lot of gay stuff, so why do people (us included) think she's straight!? We breakdown her public persona, how it differs from other pop stars whose sexuality is often speculated about, and why we love the campy way Sabrina performs straightness. Plus, the story of Christina flashmobbing Sabrina.

We’re talking about one of our favorite shows, Heartstopper! Season three of the show covers a lot of ground, including some tough and complicated topics but still features the tenderness and queer joy we know and love. (Correction: We mistakenly say in this episode that Tara isn't out to her mom - we were confused!)
In this episode, we start with some of the more difficult topics, so you can skip ahead if that’s not good for you today.
Between ~2:30-5:00 we discuss our feelings about the show in general, which includes mentions of Charlie’s eating disorder.
We discuss the ED plot line in more detail between ~5:00-14:30.
We discuss Elle’s experience of transphobia between ~14:30-22:30.
This episode is our last of this season! We’ll be back with more episodes (and some fun updates) soon!

We're talking about Christina’s new poetry chapbook,The Ways I Tried to Call You Home, which is available for preorder now! It is a book of break up poems, and we had a great time chatting about leaning into the breakup poem genre, and constructing a narrative out of nonlinear experiences. We also talk about compulsory heterosexuality which is, unfortunately, related to the themes in the book.

On this week’s Patreon-exclusive episode, we’re talking about bisexuality in the context of relationships! How do you know you’re still bisexual when you’re in a monogamous relationship, or when you’re not seeing anyone? How do you show up as your whole self in relationships? We also muse about bisexuality in the time of gender crisis (now).

We’re talking about relationships (of all kinds)! Why are we in them, and what do we want out of them? What happens when we seek companionship in AI rather than each other?

We’re back with a brand new season! We’re talking about what we like (and don't like) about the holidays to design our own holigay, and playing smash or pass with holiday movie tropes. Finally, we craft an elaborate Christmas movie plot that requires our listeners to act as Santa. Tell us what you think about these Hallmark tropes in the comments!

In this week’s minisode, we’re talking about queer memory and nostalgia but, more importantly, we’re talking about Evan’s new book! Recurring Characters is a poetry chapbook that tells a story about the scripts we have a hard time letting go of and the moments we focus on, to the exclusion of everything else.
You can preorder your very own copy of recurring characters here: https://doubletextmedia.com/

We're talking about parasocial relationships, celebrity sightings, and Chappell Roan. The internet is discoursing after some recent statements from Chappell, and we decided to join the conversation! How should we interact with the people whose work we know and like? Is the grocery store different than after an event? What if we're really nice?

This week, we’re talking about artificial intelligence. Can the TikTok algorithm diagnose our queerness? Can ChatGPT be our therapist? Is AI any more accurate than a good old fashioned “Am I Bisexual” internet quiz?
