Green Pill Secret: Chasing Likes

This week I was inspired to write an episode about superficiality. Specifically, I realized the channel lost a subscriber and one of my episodes garnered a dislike. The thing is, I don’t at this time have that many subscribers and honestly, yes, I’d like more, but I don’t want to do it the quick and easy way. No, I want to create substance and meaning in my content and I’m not looking for the…

Green Pill Secret: Life and Disability

This week, as we begin our winter season, I wanted to bring back my good friend Shea, who you may remember from our Coping with Addiction Episode. Of course they are a great guest and I was very eager to have them back on the show! As you’ll find out in this episode, Shea has Muscular Dystrophy, which causes their muscles to be very weakened and thus it’s hard for them to accomplish common tasks…

Green Pill Secret: Leaving Home

As we close out another season of the Green Pill Secret, we wanted to go out with some hope of a greater future. Yesterday, I got a call from an employer who wanted to offer me a job in San Antonio, and while the pay would be less, so would the cost of living, and when I quitted my last job I celebrate change. And after being scammed, I’m kind of itching to get out of the DMV and all its lack of…

Green Pill Secret: Romance Scams

The thing about life is, sometimes it gives you lemons and you’re allergic to lemonade. For instance, although the date on this post is the right date, I am only able to write it 48 hours later, which allows me to tell you not just about the frightful topic but also why my telling you about it has been so hard. First and foremost as viewers of the podcast will know, my dear friend and co-host Cat…

The Green Pill Podcast: Seeing the Doctor, Part 2

Last week we brought you stories of bad Doctor visits, like to Devil’s End, Auderly House, Seaspite base, or U.N.I.T. HQ… oops, I mean stores of doctors behaving badly. In any case, this week, we return to our conversation and discuss Cat‘s work as a Medical Performer known as a Standardized Patient. Cat and I are very proud of their work, especially if only to prevent nonetheless brilliant…

The Green Pill Podcast: Seeing the Doctor, Part 1 OR Update on my watching Doctor Who from the beginning 61st Anniversary Edition

This week, Cat and I return with a special 2-part series on Seeing the Doctor.. We both discuss our various doctor visits and experiences and of course we have to talk about the elephant in the room. Some doctors are just absent any form of bedside manner, especially when it comes to women patients and dismissing symptoms, especially pain. Nothing exemplifies this more than the famous Golden…

The Green Pill Secret: Vaccinations

Folks, as the leader of the Science Book Club, I’m all about knowing how things work like how clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (i.e. CRISPR) works using the CAS 9 component of the various CRISPR methodologies used by microbes. That is why I was excited to get the Pfizer / BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, since it’s a direct mRNA (messenger RiboNucleic Acid) vaccine using…

The last few days have been rough, for obvious american reasons. As with many others, I have extended family I highly suspect contributed to his win, which is a double-whammy.

It's been hard to get into a creative mindset in light of all this, but I'm going to try. For my sanity, if nothing else. For escapism, but also to continue to create queer art, which feels more important now than ever.

Just, bear with me for a bit...

Currently daydreaming about an au where post-finale Lena has a fellow witch girlfriend who loves and supports her craft, and even though Kara is jealous, she's still happy that Lena is loved by someone who treats her right.

Except that it's Rio, and Lena is on borrowed time.

The Green Pill Secret: Serving Your Country

This week I wanted to pay my respects to our nation’s military as on Monday it will be Veterans’ Day. That’s why this episode it about Serving Your Country, especially in uniform. Having worked for the Naval Research Laboratory for almost 2 decades and that was some of the greatest work I’ve ever done. I was and am very proud of how I worked to keep our men and women in uniform safe. My work…

The Green Pill Secret: Voting

In the United States of America, on 5 November, 2024, you have your last chance, as a citizen, to vote for your next President. But, did you know there are also down-ballot elections? Do you know who your Congressperson is? Do you know your Governor? Do you know your state Senator and Representative or Delegate? Because, believe me, fixing the flaws in the system starts in the grass roots and all…

The Green Pill Secret: Coping with Addiction

Addiction is a very serious topic, and, after all, quite scary for this Halloween episode. Sure, I could have chosen something less real, like skeletons or blood (but the CCS does give some of that aspect in this Spoopy character class I’m using) but tonight, we’re talking about Addiction. After all, there’s nothing more terrifying than the dark and deadly downward spiral that addiction…

The Green Pill Secret: Sunk Cost Fallacy

If you ever read about economics, you’ll no doubt have heard about the sunk cost fallacy. The thing to remember is that this isn’t a general rule. In fact, nobody says it better than The Gambler, as sung by Kenny Rogers: You got to know when to hold them, and when to fold them. Know when to walk away, and when to run… The long and short of it is that you need to look toward the future. For…

The Green Pill Secret: Introversion

Continuing on from our series autumn episodes, this week we’re discussing introversion, extroversion, and extroverted introversion. What is an Extroverted Introvert? If you like parties with friend that you know, but still need to recharge, you might be an extroverted introvert. If you love talking to perfect strangers and schmoozing, and your only feeling when it’s over is that it’s over, you’re…
