Accidentally wrote four autofiction books. Slid from narrative into monologue—not stream-of-consciousness, more like speech-speed meaning performance. Trained my voice into AI, produced a shit-ton of pieces. Had too many. Needed a place to dump them. Saw a sign that said “Beware, Vicious Dog!” Misread it. Named the podcast Danger, Vicious Dog. Didn’t fix it. Just kept going. Queer. Cosmic. Sarcastic. Cheap. Accidentally committed to the bit. Some voice and art is AI... I don't know how I feel about that... so I'm working on figuring it out... how I feel.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T20:18:09.153413+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978"},"episode":{"title":"E10: Centring the Trans; S5: Lived/Deaded (Finale)","slug":"e10-centring-the-trans-s5-lived-deaded-finale","published_at":"2026-04-19T09:08:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e10-centring-the-trans-s5-lived-deaded-finale","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E10-Centring-the-Trans-S5-LivedDeaded-Finale-e3i377p","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/118643385/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-18%2Fc494635d-ee83-0e44-8dbb-5ef965aa3449.mp3","summary":"This one starts with a headset, a wireless mic, and a person pacing around their house trying to think out loud without deciding what they think first. There are ribs in an Instant Pot. There are potatoes that may or may not be timed correctly. There is a puppy tangling itself in cords and demanding to be acknowledged as the central organizing force of the universe. And somewhere inside all of that: a youth health centre in Abbotsford. A plaque on a City Hall wall. A signature that meant very little—until it didn’t. A phone call. A doctor who didn’t tolerate bullshit. A room where people started asking a simple question: what would it look like if young people who don’t trust systems could actually walk into one and not get dismissed? That question becomes a place. And that place—almost incidentally at first—becomes a hub for trans youth in a region that didn’t necessarily set out to “centre” anything except access, dignity, and not being talked down to about smoking when you came in with something else entirely. From there, the episode does what the mind does. It wanders. Into early activism. Into being a teenager in Southern California. Into AIDS-era organizing, borrowed language, and the strange inheritance of ideas about identity—who gets to claim it, who gets to question it, and who gets told to shut up about it. Then forward again: pandemic internet. Comment sections. The moment you realize you are out of your depth in a conversation that seems to demand certainty. The emergence of frameworks—TERFs, trans discourse, competing claims about what is fixed, what is fluid, what is social, what is biological, what is real. And underneath all of it, a quieter thread: What does it actually mean to “centre” someone? Is it about language? Ordering letters? Deference?
