Episode 6: Candy Corn & How to Have a Conversation

Trigger Warnings:
Ostracization
Homophobia
Transphobia
Medication & Surgery
Self-endangerment
~Please be a responsible listener.~

Get ready to expand your vocabulary, because in this episode we drop some terminology, and I don’t just mean the words below. We talk about transitional surgery, hormones, and equipment such as chest binders. Then we laugh, because sometimes you have to face all the heavy business of life and have yourself a light-hearted moment or two. Just remember: gay people are not your search engines.

Terminology
GRS - Genital Reconstruction Surgery
Phalloplasty - surgery performed to construct/repair/enlarge the penis
DFAB - designated female at birth
DMAB - designated male at birth

Episode 1: Cosmicism

Geometric Octopus would like to bring you a platterful of a writhing, slimy fiction, humor, music, and discussion if you’ll let us. It’s a veritable variety of things we have stewing. In this first episode, we discuss Cosmicism (a philosophy developed by H. P. Lovecraft), and whether or not humans are more than the sum of their parts. You can listen to it above or click here.
Also, if you haven’t already, be sure to put this episode in a packing crate and store it somewhere very safe. You never know—it could be a collector’s item in the future!
Our sources are linked to below, except a lot of the information came from Anne’s memory, and we can’t link to her brain (although we’re trying). Check us out on the links below.
For questions/comments, shoot us an email at geometicoctopus@gmail.com—we would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. If you are interested in submitting a track to us for promotion in one of our episodes, please send us an email stating so and we will reply as soon as we are able to. Alternatively, submit a track through our moderated group (on SoundCloud). If you are interested in hearing your short fiction read aloud or performed, please visit our Reddit page for the details.
