141. Your Partner Is Not A McDonald's Soft Serve Machine Nov 08, 2025

Show notes

What happens when you have to take a pause but centuries of social conditioning tell you you're not allowed to stop until your partner comes?? Follow Lina into the McDonald's drive-through and out of the endless reassurance spiral as we swirl together one of the weirder combinations of heartfelt advice and inappropriate imagery ever served up on this pod.

140. Now Write 'Submissive ≠ Passive' 50 Times On The Blackboard While I Pelt Chalk At You Oct 31, 2025

Show notes

Lina takes the mic this week to clarify a misunderstanding about the responsibility of subs in D/s dynamics, how both partners can bring 100%, and once again breaks the bad news that, yes, we have to talk to people about what we want if we want to get it (EW!).

If you're looking for Halloween stuff, sign up for a paid membership on patreon or substack to get Lina and Mr. Dune talking about the Hellraiser franchise, specifically 'Hellbound: Hellraiser 2.'

139. How To F*ck Like A Girl with Vera Blossom Oct 25, 2025

Show notes

How DO you f*ck like a girl?? Vera Blossom has the answers in her debut essay collection by the same name, a trans coming of age that reads like an epic poem made out with a tumblr blog in a public bathroom. We talk passing vs creating, being Elvis Presley's long lost son, and staring into the swirling chaos at the center of the earth through estrogen-tinted glasses. Pick your gender of the day and join us for some playful expansiveness as we crack the columns of the gender binary temple.

138. The Non-Verbal Mambo Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Lina is back and we're easing you back in with a medium-unhinged episode title & a discussion about how to bolster communication among the neurospicy folks in your dynamic (insert us, the caller, their partner, and all of you into the classic pointing Spiderman meme — it's all of us).

137. Kink Event Girl! Put The Bass In Your Walk, Head To Toe Let Your Whole Body Talk Oct 10, 2025

Show notes

Hey raccoons! Lina's still away on her meditation retreat so it's Mr. Dune again. Don't worry, Lina will be back next week (she's coming home tomorow 🎉) and the episode titles and descriptions will resume some semblance of capability and normalcy. But more importantly yes of course I love drag race. I have a pulse, don't I? This week, a first time long time caller rings up to ask Lina's advice on fashion, outfits, and gear when attending a big event like DomCon. As always, Lina's got the style tips stars would dream of. Ok byyyeeeeeeee.

136. Switch On Me Once, Shame On.. Shame On You. Switch On Me Twice... A Switch Can't Get Switched On Again Oct 04, 2025

Show notes

Hey ya'll, Lina's off on a meditation retreat out of cell phone range so it's Mr. Dune's job to write up the title and the podcast description for this week's episode, so please don't blame Lina for this week's cursed-ness. A very thoughtful caller rings Lina up for her musings on switches and switchiness and Lina dives fearlessly back and forth across the slash for answers and as always is wonderful and kills it with depth and humor. She's very smart and pretty and I love her very much.

-Mr. D

Show notes

Ok so if kink isn't role play for you but you want to inject some role play in your kink… what the heck do you do? This Hellraiser-style puzzle box has summoned Lina from beyond the grave to ponder the ins and outs of living truthfully in imaginary circumstances, appropriate wig usage, and what to do if someone forgets to feed the cat.

132. In Praise Of Pickiness Sep 07, 2025

Show notes

When are we being too picky with our play partners? Listen, nothing is perfect, but if your ick is "doesn't respect my boundaries" or "is unsafe" … time to yeet.
