Sagittarian Matters

This week, we have a BETH DITTO MAILBAG TAKEOVER!!! Musician & fashion designer Beth Ditto & I answer questions & riff on self-deprecation, grace, gratitude, punk feminism, polyamory, and MORE.

This week, series regular Michelle Tea (author of "How to Grow Up")  doles out advice on anxiety and work. Writer & cartoonist ARIEL SCHRAG ("Likewise", "Potential", "Adam", The L Word) talks truth in comics, Chick Tracks, and romantic advice with NJG. Warning: some advantage-taking is mentioned!

Liz Prince is the comics mastermind behind the books "Tomboy" and "Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed?".  (lizprincepower.com)  This week is ALL LIZ, All the time! Plus Nicole. We talk about comics, specifically how it feels to be a woman in comics, and answer many many advice questions, including "How can I kick people out of my house after sex without seeming like a monster?". TUNE IN.

Our first LA edition!!! 1. How to quit your job (and a time Nicole got fired) with artist consultant Beth Pickens, queer filmmakers Chris Vargas (also of the Museum of Trangender Hirstory & Art) and Greg Youmans, 2. Quitting jobs & living as a musician with Tara Jane O'neil. 3. Founding editor of Original Plumbing (OP) Magazine Rocco Kayiatos retells one of my FAVORITE tour stories about getting beat up in Montana.

In this special LOVE episode, we answer advice questions on love with cartoonist & writer Ariel Schrag & vegan bodybuilder, Lacy Davis. I ask Ariel, Liz Prince, & Justin Hall "What's it like to date a cartoonist?" and get highly qualified first date advice from senior citizens Bea and Joan at the Marie Smith Center in Portland, OR.

WELCOME TO SAGITTARIAN MATTERS!!!! In this episode, Nicole details trying to save a llamas life, Michelle Tea throws down wisdom on writing, Buddhism & parenthood, and then Beth Ditto of the band Gossip tells us the grossest places she's ever woken up on tour.
