ep42: Travellin' Prayer

five days ago, the united states supreme court wrote that tennessee was free to deny gender-affirming care to children; consequently, those kids will no longer be fully free to do the work of being kids -- that is, exploring who they are and want to be.
but the work will still get done. it always does. and this week's playlist is an attempt to provide an example of how.

even when the path to who you are is blocked, even when it seems to go through territory that you can't believe even exists, you will find a way. and along that way will be joy, and strength, and people who love you and walk alongside you. here are mine. happy ******* pride.

we preemptively out here

I hear that.

A preemptive hello

hello friends! hope you all are beating the heat

I’m actually sitting outside, feeling very offended by this weather

I'm in my bed right now with my fan bearing down on me.

Doot doot 🎺🎺🎺

hot spiky doots

also, maybe we should all pretend to be sledding

I’m thinking of that FCC agent hoping to get you with that edit

They’re in the sled too

not today, satan!

Hello https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic%27s_birthday?file=SXSG_Steam_10.jpeg

hello and please tell me it's actually sonic's birthday!

Yes!

happy birthday sonic 💙🦔💙

Uh oh we better go fast

Why do you think Cheetara is here

If you know you know

The Dash (Incredibles) joins the race

he better take it seriously this time

Hahaha

in a show of hilarious transitions, i assure you the next transition is the most hilarious

And speaking transitions, that waterfall area in contra! Recently saw a playthrough of it up to that scary alien monster, Red Hawk/Wing or something

yup, played and died in that level many, many a time lol

not sure if we ever saw the boss :D

lovely excerpt and music :) happy pride! ❤︎

happy pride, friend <3

Hey Rosasolis! Happy Pride 💙

Tis - I didn't even make it that far, emulator or not, haha. Never actually seen the boss myself. Same with Ninja Gaiden

And hi Rosalina! ❤🧡💛💙💚💜💖

That transition from The Red Wings into Grand Russian Fantasia was perfect

thank you kindly; a little bit of smoothness seemed perhaps overdue :D

Tonight's show kicks ass!

Hitoshi Sakimoto Revolt (Thunder) - sounded lot like a Pokémon song

🏳️‍🌈✊

This reminds me of shooglenifty

🏳️‍🌈✊

and well now i need to check out shooglenifty

@Ossy which one? or which game? i'd love to hear it!

Preferably the gen 3 pokemon game themes (ruby/sapphire/emerald etc) it what it sounds like!

that is the gen i am the most sonically curious about; woo hoo! gonna check em out

This is a cool track, 0

This is gonna be my song if I go to the beach tomorrow. Assuming the sea hasn't boiled off.

sorry to spoil it, but i guarantee i won't be doing a PSA read during it tomorrow!!!

i figured that one probably doesn't get read enough

@TAndy have also been thinking about your request and found this, which i hope you enjoy:

@tomi it took me a second, after which much delight ensued

@Ossy explosionnnnnsssssssssss

speaking of which

Tis - Both 1st adventures in 3d of the late 90s, that are forever adored and getting remakes later on!!

Hell yeah! That cover rules, Tis! I only wish the actual track was much longer

it's been a lovely show, thank you

The Black Knife cover u sent

@TAndy ohhhh duh, of course -- yeah, I think Isabelle tossed it together quick, but she's so good

@Tomi thank you!!!
