BDE (Big Dyke Energy)

Rose and Gala get back to the drawing board, beginning a new season of BDE with a tried and true approach: one episode, one theme, and all sapphistry all the time. Join us for a deep dive into the astrological archetypes of the girls formally known as Yellowjackets. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Cast your votes in the comments! Play along while we bring our girls into some lower stakes chaotic lesbian survival scenarios. Lascivious lasagna? Incontinent pit-bull? Unsealed deck in the rain? Who you gonna call? If hypothetical games are your cup of foraged wine, then stay tuned for the bonus round—right after we talk Taissa full moon, subterranean Pluto return, Pisces new moon, and a conjunction or two. Did we miss the chance to mention Kristin Hersh? We each only have two hands.

Venus is STILL retrograde and the devil is in the details this Capricorn season. But with a moody full moon in Cancer blessing the month of January and an exhausting square between Mars and Neptune, not to mention a spaced out Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius, the devil is bound to have her say. Why not let the fallen angels have it? What's an indulgence or two or three between friends who haven't been to a homosexual house party in three years? If you aren't feeling sexual and ruinous at the end of the world perhaps you're better off making soup. Gazpacho if you're holding down that Southern Hemisphere. Turn up the flame and cut your shallots beautifully while you tune into our astro weather forecast. Simmer down while we cook up our Capricorn karaoke theories. Are you more of a Meatloaf-singing Cap or a country crooner? It's all coming back to us now as we salt and pepper to taste and discuss the patterns in sapphic media today compared to yesteryear.  If you'd like a transcript of this episode, please contact us here :)

A choose your own (Sagittarian) adventure episode where each adventure is a quest to find good sapphic media. Welcome, one and all, to Rose and Gala's shameless TV corner where we embrace the winter solstice in totality but laying on the couch and having a good cathartic media binge. Take a load off those strong lesbian shoulders while we discuss 12 Dates of Christmas and the tragic affliction of "main character energy." Mix up some fair-trade cacao while we kvetch about what's missing in the world of holiday romcoms. Kick off those Blundstones as we wax on about Melanie Lynskey as queer canon and her place in our hearts and role in Yellowjackets, the only good tv for medium-aged dykes. Yes, they recount the SATC reboot, but at what cost? Do Aquarians or Sagittarians talk more shit? This episode is a case study. Of course, no Sag season episode would be complete without a hot debate to polarize the masses so stick around for Gala's Case Against Carol, sure to turn you against her forever. What to a Sag rising is likability? What do Sagittarius' even need when they still have Teyana Taylor performing 2018's “3Way,” grinding on the likes of Rubi Rose and Yung Miami on her 2021 farewell tour? Give yourself the gift of watching this performance through the years this holiday season. A farewell tour only happens once, but a lap dance recorded on YouTube lasts forever.   Do we ever get past the fruitless search for representation and discuss what actually matters: the moon, the stars, the sacred texts of the cosmos? Yes, and it's hardly a gay old time. What, to a homosexual, is holiday cheer? Omicron is here. Stay inside, Save a life.  If you'd like a transcript of this episode, please contact us here.  

Welcome to the Taurus full moon panic room! What kind of goddess decided to cast Venus’ Rx shadow the day before the eclipse? Is it the same goddess in charge of these Uranus oppositions and Saturn squares? Speaking of Saturn, would you live stream 6 middle aged dykes building a deck? Surely it’s better than Tampa Baes. And while we’re on the subject of lesbians with mansions, let’s talk about hidden assets: who has them and what does Taurus/Scorpio have to say about it. Why be fragile when you can be a force of nature? Come ride these waves and howl along on this latest episode of BDE.

Time to talk about the L word again…. Libras! Libra is ruled by Venus and Venus is all about our values so this episode we’re putting our values under a delicate vintage magnifying glass. Is it possible to own land and still be invested in justice? Once you marry someone who wants to colonize space are you queer? What makes a lesbian commune vs. a queer lesbian commune? And since Venus was still in Scorpio, and Scorpio loves other people’s money, play along while we imagine what dyke diversions we might dip into with $89,000,000.

Join Rose and Gala as they wrap up Virgo season and prepare for Mercury retrograde in Libra by asking hard-hitting questions and not expecting you to answer them. Everyone knows that while Virgo is The Virgin in the texts of olde, they’re everyone’s favorite freak. But, isn’t it also true that Virgo’s the most bisexual of all the Zodiac signs? Cameron Diaz, Sara Ramirez, Evan Rachel Wood, Pink, Lili Reinhart, Jada Pinkett Smith, need we say more? Never-mind, we do. Speaking of bisexuals, and we definitely are, isn’t it time to retire “Gold Star” as a thing? Don’t we all put on our blazers one sleeve at a time? Isn’t it time for a little mutual reception? Whether you’ve been sowing and reaping, or heauxing and sleeping, the hosts of BDE are here to serve up a farmer’s market of dyke digressions.

Sun’s out and so are we in the newest episode of BDE. If pride is such a Leo thing then how come so many Gay Prides happen in Cancer season? Maybe that’s what Sister Sledge was singing about. Speaking of Leos, and we are, what was UP with Lion’s Gate? Listen to Rose’s case for Water Gate instead. In Leo season, we all get a gate. Except the younger generation of L Word: Gen Q, that is. Find out why we think they should be seen to the door instead.  And, if two medium age dykes droning about dramatic disappointment isn’t your cup of fair trade brew, we’ve slipped in more than a few rounds of “Top, Bottom, Verse?” to keep you in the game.  L Word Spoiler Time Stamps: 43:15-60:41

Our oceans are afire but our hearts are too in this Cancerian tinged episode that’s all about old flames and the timeless travails of lesbians who just can’t let go. Come soak in the creative brine with Rose and Gala and find out what’s left to preserve. 

Spend the last day of Gemini season with Gala and Rose as they ride out the final waves of Mercury Retrograde. Enjoy a gentle mental cocktail of astro Insights and gaymes as they talk transits and trivia. How many novels has Jeanette Winterson written? Given the choice, would you keep your St. Andrews Cross or your 6' cat tower? Which Angelina Jolie movie made you gayer, Hackers or Foxfire? Geminis are all about sharing stories so whether you’re here to listen or to play along you’re sure to have a good time.

As we savor the last hours of Taurus season, let’s take a beat and ask ourselves... is there anyone hotter than Kehlani? Nevermind, let’s talk about acrylic nails. Hands are a Gemini thing. Wait are we in retro shade? Speaking of retro, are Jncos back? What’s the truth about the cool S? Surrender to Mercury in Gemini and bounce from topic to topic. Find out what makes jigsaw puzzles the ultimate erotic act. We’re here, we’re queer, our liberation is tied up with yours!

When the dykes are online talking about fighting Mary Oliver and conservative squares won’t let Satan have a lap dance, we know it’s Aries season. In this episode, we spend a good deal of time talking Aries magic and the Chiron in Aries healing journey by way of Lil Nas X, his video for Montero and his natal transits too. What's healthier for a Chiron wound than a little sexual expression? What's the diff between an Aries Sun and Aries Moon? Nerd out, Astro-enthusiasts, while we venerate Mars and stimulate Pluto. Get in the car, homos, we’re going to hell ...metaphorically.  If you’d like to look along, the charts we pulled up use these dates and details: Birthday: 12:00 pm April 9, 1999, Atlanta, GA. 14th Birthday: April 9th, 2013 Old Town Road Initial Release: December 2, 2018 Old Town Road Hits Number one: April 13, 2019 Call Me By Your Name video premiere: March 25, 2021 Satan Shoes Released: March 29, 2021

Gather, gentle perverts, for another episode of BDE and another anniversary: a year since COVID19 forced all goddess's homosexuals apart and into their underwater caves. It began in Pisces season and to Pisces season it returns. In the hazy days of March, as we crawl about seeking vitamin D and good news, we mustn't forget our Pisces babes who work so hard to remind us how to have fun while never leaving the confines of one's imagination. In this playful yet persuasive episode, your hosts with the most (tears to shed, love to give) ponder the big questions: Are all Pisces doe-eyed dream babes in silks like Niecy Nash, or are some of them more likely to be found wearing RealTree t-shirts while boating with wild cats in a swamp? Does Rose have con-artist adjacent traits and what does being a Pisces rising have to do with it? 

It’s Aquarius time (but it’s not the age of Aquarius) and Rose & Gala are here to usher in the third season of BDE. Mars faces some difficult aspects so we’re here to help you work with what you got, dignified or in detriment. What do a possum and a koala have to do with Rose’s sex toy emporium and Taurus in Uranus? Relax into it with a new episode.

It’s a brand new Hierophant year and the end of an empire, so what better time to praise Capricorns? Listen to Rose and Gala regress to progress, and talk retrogrades. Find out if Dolly, Sade, and Mary J were just placed on this earth to make dykes despondent with longing. What’s a Capricorn Venus got to do to get some Real Love? Slow down, tune in.

Rose and Gala record a Scorpio season episode, take 2, leaving the first try in the vault (a mystery!). An investigative episode into the annals of political party past, evocative of our favorite astrological super sleuth. Find out what these two gal pals turned gumshoes discover and figure out what’s coincidence and what’s fate. To follow along with our exploration: Click here :)

How do you cuff in a pandemic? How is your Covid pod like an ensemble cast rom-com? Are cardinal Libras guilty of cardinal sins or just full of sensual ideas? Do they have a look? According to Rose, “yes, they look good. “ But, will looking good get us through all these Pluto Problems? Take a trip through our sliding doors and find out what’s possible! To learn more about ways to connect with and support those experiencing incarceration, check out Critical Resistance :)

Gala and Rose talk crustacean coping mechanisms, emotional containers, Vida, and the commitment and care it takes to sustain a movement. Shelter in place is old hat for folks that carry their homes on their backs, but what about the rest of us? And how are we supposed to survive the tropical storm that is 6 months of Mars in Aries, facing off with Pluto and Saturn in grumpy ole' Capricorn? Tune in to find out, or at least find some company. 

Gala and Rose take a ride on the information expressway this Gemini season, talking Lunar Eclipses and multiple realities in the pandemic parallax view. Kick back with some casual laughs, accidental insights, and archetypal investigations into new TV indulgences like Dead 2 Me... and every show Roberta Colindrez has Lezstarred in this quarantine season. Come for the vocal fry, stay for the Miso Braised Chard recipe.

Rose and Gala staying homo and here for you. On this Taurantine season episode, they’re fetching the bolt cutters and talking big moons. Tune in and it’s almost like you have some gay friends over? Remember that?
