And despite my tone, I am being serious! TW: public assault, blood, discussion of drug use and overdose I tried my best to be as candid as possible about some stuff I'm still processing , as they say...but I hope this can all be an ongoing conversation, and I hope we can figure some stuff out together? Ultimately I hope we can love each other enough to challenge the way we've been taught to relate...And to recognize who and what benefits from an unending cycle of violence. Safety is a relationsh...

Wow wow I laughed so much doing this episode which I mean, duh, because it's Dylan Adler on the show!!! I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Dylan about his most formative, lowkey life long crush - a forever cool guitar guy marching to the beat of his own drum type whose name HAS been bleeped so this episode sounds very explicit even though it's actually just SWEET like the crush HIMSELF!!
