    What certain people also don't understand the impact those small/short words have on the next person. Just because something does not have much meaning to u or ur life, for the next person it may mean the absolute world to them. We should really start respecting each and everyone's individuality because my opinion matters, her opinion matters, he's opinion matter, their opinion matter. We all matter! This is Awesome 💯

    Im loving ur podcast idea!! Wow, Kittens.....your perfect dream land or whatever is eerily similar to mine! Imma have to steal the warm rain not getting u wet though!! It started off as a real place that has morphed into an even better place more like yours. So it was the last few weeks of college, it was actually a nice spring (It was near Chicago so that's not always true), I had been hanging with this awesome new friend, we were having an amazing few days and we randomly stumbled upon this meadow. It was magical....like we were in our own world...the grass was comfy, the weather was perfect, and the trees around us were like a beautiful shimmering silver color. I wish I could paint so I could paint it! Dating myself but this was before cell phones could take pics! 🤣

    I'm sure you've already figured this out since it's an old comment but they have a great video ansering your questions: It is titled "Q&A ON COMING OUT, DATING ADVICE, BEING QUEER + PERSIAN, & SHE/HER/THEY with KITTENS " and its link is kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqmMp7GHmJbSis4.html But basically KITTENS is a dj/producer and hosts SHE/HER/THEY, her bio's on various social media's say as follows: Twitter - dj | producer | host of SHE/HER/THEY | intersectional feminist (the location has their pronouns She/They) KZread - Lauren Abedini aka KITTENS is just your average Iranian-American lesbian who DJs, makes music, has some cats & advocates for marginalized communities while navigating social anxiety. hope this helped :))
