CN: This episode covers some sensitive subject matter, but no
explicit details are discussed. Listener discretion is advised but
the episode is very tame despite the subject matter.
Flower is a disabled sex worker, musician, activist, gamer, fixer
of things, and all around brilliant person! Lacey and Flower talk
about disability (both physical and mental), misconceptions about
sex work, autism, mental health (including hallucinations and
psychosis), schedules, and more!
