Episode 256: Tarqueer is here! Happy Pride!
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Happy Pride Month y'all! Today we are here to discuss the Queerness that appears to be inherent on the plane of Tarkir. This was initially sparked by seeing I Write Robots post on Felothar! Coupled with Jay Annelli's thread updating some of the demographics (and a great response mentioning Trans of Tarqueer) this seemed like a great time discuss some elements of queer representation in Magic.Also check out The Truth of Names for some fantastic Magic storytelling: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/truth-names-2015-01-28We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources____________________________________________As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode.
