Allison + Tiffany check in with Honeybee Nation about coping with the Great Wait of 2020 as we watch numbers trickle in from mail-in ballots, how our relationships look different with those around us and how we are handling living in a Tr*mpled up, shit-show of a world.
If you need a funny movie to watch after listening to this episode, check out Borat Subsequent Movie Film. It was a great laugh and we know we can all use one right now.
We love y'all. Hang in there.

Hello Honeybees! Allison + Tiffany are back with more of the content that you love. This is a lighter - er not as heavy - episode to take a break and direct some of our frustration where it belongs - THE PATRIARCHY. In this episode, we discuss the gender reveal party that caused another California wildfire, gender roles, the Pink D*ck Chronicles, holding space and bellybuttons?

Allison + Tiffany are back after a little mental break (don't be surprised if there are more of these in the coming months; the world is upside down). Tiffany asks Allison a question they often discuss, but never to this extent: "why do you love me?" It turns into a thought provoking conversation about growth, Blackness and privilege. Enjoy.

Hello HoneyBees!
This episode, we talk to our friend from afar, podcast host/co-creator of the Supposedly podcast, Rue @ruetakeseu about allyship, seeing the impact of Black Lives Matter in the US from another continent and the state of our history and police stateside.
Allies, THIS is the perfect episode to listen to. Rue sets a wonderful example of how to become educated, setting realistic expectations of advocacy, and gives personal accounts of how racism has impacted her family and how she is combating it.

Hey Honeybees!
We are loving discussing our own experiences as well as those of others. While many of these stories are maddening and heart breaking, what we choose to take away from each story is an appreciation of vulnerability, resilience and the resources that are uncovered out of necessity.
In this episode, which is lighter than the last episode, we talk about a potentially politically incorrect garden vegetable(???), watching Hamilton for the first time (spoiler alert: Tiff ruined it), and a particularly scary trip to the gynecologist.
We didn't cover any particular tragedies, but don't forget they are happening around us!
Please consider signing these petitions, reading about these beautiful people of color and how our justice system is failing them and donating to their causes. This could be a blanket donation to an org like Black Lives Matter, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), protester bailout funds, OR specific donations to GoFundMe accounts to help with legal fees, the families of the deceased and in some cases funeral arrangements/recovery from those costs.

We have our dear friend Darell @dplatecreations_darell on to talk about his experiences of Blackness on two different continents & his feelings about racism, politics, & sexuality.
*Trigger warning: If you cannot handle hearing the N-word, or if loud voices are traumatic for you, use discretion and take care of YOU first* We get a little passionate at the end of the episode, and you'll laugh a lot throughout.
Here are a few links to literature for your anti-racist journeys.

We have missed our HoneyBees so much! We are living in strange times right now amid COVID-19, #BlackLivesMatter and the spotlight being cast on the police and their violent actions. We hope that you are all safe and being socially responsible. Please wear your protective gear and protect others as well as yourselves.
In this episode, we catch you up on why we had to be gone for a little while, break down “defund the police,” talk about our fears and new experiences, and allyship to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous People of Color). We also help our friend of the pod, Cookie, with a family dilemma regarding their new love.
This is a long one, but stick with it. We’ve got a lot to unload.
Please take a look at the links below for resources for taking action, donating to campaigns for justice/bailouts, COVID-19 stats, etc.

Allison + Tiffany are back! We are enjoying a relaxed Sunday morning and thought we would spend our time with you trying to make you laugh at SUPER corny dad jokes. We also make fun of each other and tell you about a story we have had on our hearts for days.
WE LOVE YOU ALL! BE SAFE, DON'T LICK DOORKNOBS, STAY AWAY FROM BEACHES AND WASH YA HANDS!
