In this episode, we sit down with Davis Mendoza Darusman (he/him) — community organizer, creative, and Justice of the Peace candidate — to talk about queering local politics in Houston.

We discuss eviction diversion programs, virtual court access, private debt collection fees, and how JP courts directly impact queer, trans, immigrant, and working-class communities. Davis also shares the story behind “Panning for Love” his community organizing work, and why love and accessibility are at the center of his platform.

If politics feels overwhelming, this episode is a reminder: local change starts with us.

The holidays can be joyful, heavy, awkward, and everything in between—especially when you’re queer.

In this episode, Elih and Rene open up a community conversation recorded during a holiday event, featuring multiple queer voices sharing honest reflections on family, grief, chosen family, traditions, boundaries, and finding joy during the season.

Whether the holidays feel warm, complicated, or downright exhausting, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that queer joy still finds a way through.
