Okay. Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. Get ready for today. Today's episode comes to you from Mexico. So exciting. We are in Mexico at a festival, a music festival started by and run by our Dear, dear friends, Brandi Carlile and Katherine Carlile, we've recorded a live episode for you. This is the first time we've ever done a big live recording of We Can Do Hard Things. With a huge audience, thousands of people. There were thousands of people there. Who were at this recording with me, Abby, Brandy, and Kath. Sister was not there, but it still was beautiful because of the energy of this festival. What you need to know, PodSquad, is that it was during Inauguration Weekend. Yeah. During Inauguration Weekend, we were in Mexico with thousands and thousands and thousands of queer people. beautiful human beings who were just hell bent on not just resistance, but creating what we discuss in this episode as an irresistible revolution, which is Tony Cade Bambara's beautiful call to us that we not just resist. We do resist, but we don't just resist.
We become a movement that is so beautiful and full of life and humanity and love that we become irresistible and just... That is what Girls Just Want a Weekend is. It is.
It's crazy.
It is. And we are so excited for you to listen to this hour with these thousands of gorgeous, irresistible human beings. What I want to tell you before you listen... is just a couple warnings, okay? First of all, I felt really excited because I met this incredible band full of three gorgeous human beings inside and out. Their name is Muna.
Yeah, the band is Muna. They're incredible.
Okay. And in the episode, I say... It's because there were thousands of people there.
I just want to preface, like just the onstage with doing this in front of a lot of people, you just were all riled up.
I was all riled up. And I said that Muna is my sexuality. Okay. And then everyone just started freaking out. And Potswana, if you were there, I could see everyone's faces and Brandy and Kath and Abby. And I felt like, why is everyone making a big deal out of this? Later. Okay. What I meant is that the Muna is three different vibes. There's three people in the group and one, they all have different like gender and sexuality expression. And what I meant was my expression of my sexuality is Muna. And the reason I'm making a big deal out of this introduction is because I felt like what I said was like I'm attracted to each of them, which would be fine, except I don't want to be objectifying these love bugs.
Like I didn't mean to objectify them. I actually just want to be their queer elder auntie, which I also express in this. I meant my sexuality expression is embodied in all three of them.
Yeah. And just like, don't worry, folks. I was sitting right there the whole time. I don't believe that Glennon wants Muna as her sexuality. Okay. I believe that things are fluid and Glennon has the right to say and be whoever she is.
Thank you. And then I want to say one other thing before the pod squad listens is that there was this moment where all of this is about Muna, but I said that what I loved about Muna was that their expression of queerness is so joyful. And sometimes I feel like it's such a beautiful thing for young queer people to just see the joy because there's always in queer art, there's so much tragedy and trauma and that is real too. But in songs like Silk Chiffon, it's just so gorgeous to see artists saying queerness is, fun and beautiful and not doesn't have to have the trauma and that actually was Tish's thought but I didn't say it because I was afraid that I mean Tish was sitting oh you stole it from her I basically stole it from Tish but the reason why I didn't say that it was Tish is because she was sitting right in the front row and I didn't have her permission to say it so afterwards I asked her if I could
say it was her idea and she said yes. So anyway, good luck with all that.
But tell them who comes out and opens the event for us.
